From mythology we know about the practice of leaving an infant in a basket. Here it indicates a special child who has been abandoned or disowned, and in spite of a hostile world is making its way successfully.
A very specific point is being made here: it is possible to survive and overcome early childhood suffering.

Ten Thousand Dream Interpretation
by Gustavus Hindman Miller
An arch in a dream, denotes your rise to distinction and the gaining of wealth by persistent effort.
To pass under one, foretells that many will seek you who formerly ignored your position.
For a young woman to see a fallen arch, denotes the destruction of her hopes, and she will be miserable in her new situation.
