Complete Dictionary of Dreams
by Dr. Mıchael Lennox
A ditch is a culvert in the earth that has been deliberately created by human intervention. With the ground being a symbol for consciousness, anything that is just below the surface of the ground is that which is just below the surface of our awareness. Most ditches are built to hide in or divert the movement of something. In this way, a ditch is the result of doing a little self- investigation in order to provide for something to be able to move without detection or other implemented strategy. What is just below the surface of your thinking in your life right now?
The Complete Guide to Interpreting Your Dreams
by Stearn Robinson - Tom Corbett
An obstacle dream - money troubles if you were in the ditch, romantic troubles if you fell into it; but whatever the difficulties may be, they won’t be serious ones, and, if in your dream you got out of the ditch or jumped over it, you can be sure of an ultimate benefit from the experience.

If you dream of falling into a ditch, you may be headed for a mistake in real life.
