1- Many people talk about the pit of despair and of feeling trapped within a situation.

A pit in a dream makes us more conscious of this particular feeling. We may be in a situation which we cannot get out of, or may find that if we are not careful we will put ourselves in such a situation.

If we are digging the pit in the dream, we have to be conscious of the fact that we may be creating the situation ourselves.

If others are digging the pit, we may feel we have no control over our circumstances and that doom and disaster are inevitable.

2- Rescuing others from a pit. particularly if they arc members of our own family, suggests that we have information which may be of use to them to enable them to overcome their problems. Pushing someone into a pit indicates that we arc trying to suppress a part of our personality.

To be conscious that the pit is bottomless signifies that we do not have the resources to recover a previous situation.

3- The pit, like the abyss (see Abyss), represents the Void and possibly death - not necessarily a physical death, but more a death of the old self. We have no choice but to go forward, knowing that we may fail, but also that if we do succeed our lives will change for the better.

To face the pit requires extreme courage.

The Mystic Dream Book

by Stephen Girard
To dream of falling into a deep pit, shows that some very heavy misfortune is about to attend you; that your Sweetheart is false and prefers anöther; to a sailor it forebodes some sad disaster at the next port he touches at. To dream that you are in a pit, and that vou climb out of it, foreshows that you will have many enemies and experience many troubles, but that you will overcome them, marry well and become rich; to a sailor, it denotes that he will experience shipwreck, and be cast on a foreign shore, where he will be hospitably received, and marry a rich and handsome wife, and live at ease.
