Ten Thousand Dream Dictionary

by Pamela Ball
1- A hole usually represents a difficult or trickv situation. It can also be a place where we may hide, or feel protected in.

To dream of falling into a hole indicates that we are perhaps getting in touch with our unconscious feelings, urges and fears.

To walk round a hole suggests we may need to get round a tricky situation. We may also need to become aware of the other parts of ourselves that are buried beneath our surface awareness.

2- A hole can very often represent the feminine and the emptiness one feels as one moves towards an understanding of the Self.

A hole in the roof of any sacred building, or any hole which allows steam or smoke to escape, is the opening upwards to the celestial world and is the door or gateway to other dimensions.

It is interesting that, as central heating and living in Hats becomes more commonplace, we feel more and more enclosed without aspect to that spiritual awareness.

3- A round hole represents the Heavens, a square hole represents the Earth.

Islamic Dream Interpretation

by Ibn Seerin
(Deception, Plot, Profits, Fall) Digging a hole, a water well, or an irrigation and planning to water the plants with them in a dream means attending one’s needs and serving the interests of his family. Eating from the dirt one piles from digging in his dream represents a swagger, or someone who acquires money through deception. Seeing oneself inside a hole in a dream also means divorce.

To see oneself outside of such a hole looking at it in a dream means having an argument with one’s spouse that will end in reconciliation.

If a sick person or a prisoner sees himself coming out of a hole in a dream, it means that he will become free from his trials. Falling into a hole and crying for help to no avail in a dream means taking a short trip.

A hole in a dream also represents a poor woman who strives to cover others pitfalls, though she cannot veil her own. Hiding inside a hole in a dream also means appeasement of one’s fears, or ending of one’s adversities.

If while hiding, one finds food, or fresh water, or a cloth to cover himself in the dream, it means profiting from sources one does not anticipate, or making peace with an opponent.

To put a hole in one’s shoe in a dream means facing trouble and adversities.
