Ten Thousand Dream Dictionary

also see Wood

1- To dream of walking the plank suggests taking an emotional risk.

A plank of wood appearing in a dream can indicate that something needs repairing, or that we feel safer carrying our own means of support.

If the plank is to be used in flooring the symbol is one of security; but if to be used as a door or as decoration on a wall, it signifies defence or adornment of one’s inner space.

2- If the plank is to be used for making something, it suggests the material we have for undertaking a project. We may be aware in the dream of the type of wood we arc using and this can have some significance or memory for us.

If the plank is used for making a box, we should take care not to become trapped within a situation.

3- We have the raw material to enable us to become more aware of the process of life. We may need to look at what we consider to be our usefulness within the world.

The Big Dictionary of Dreams

by Martha Clarke
Seeing a plank denotes that you will have methods to come to a good finish with your projects, given that the atmosphere of your environment be favorable for it. Cutting it is synonymous to the arrival of unexpected things that will delay your plans; and not being able to use the plank because it is not in good shape predicts discussions ending in great sorrow. Lastly, gathering planks indicates that it is a good time to associate yourself with others and go forward with a complex deal.
