Complete Dictionary of Dreams

by Dr. Mıchael Lennox
A quarry is designed to harvest the bounty of what is available just below the surface of the earth in the form of rocks, minerals, and surface metals. In the symbolism of land as representing the conscious mind, these are the symbolic raw materials that are available to you when you are willing to look below the surface of things to find what is valuable. Rocks are also symbolic of memory and the past, so the most prominent interpretation of what a quarry can bring you is value from considering what has already occurred in your life. Of course, you can overdo this process, and a quarry also holds the possible interpretation of the damage that can be done when you obsess over the past and keep digging when perhaps it is time to move on.

Ten Thousand Dream Dictionary

by Pamela Ball
1- Dreaming of a quarry means quarrying the depths of one’s personality; ‘digging out’ the positive knowledge and perceptions we may have. Often dream symbols are crcated which link with childhood or past experiences which we may have buried and which now need to be brought into conscious understanding.

2- Seeking a quarry (that is, pursuing someone or something) in a dream can indicate that we, on some level, know what we are looking for, but that it is the action of finding it that is important.

3- A Spiritual search which may require digging out information.

The Big Dictionary of Dreams

by Martha Clarke
Quarries are the result of human activity. Perhaps, you have gotten into such a hole and now you do not know how to get out.

Dreaming of a quarry also reveals the desire to explore the unconscious (the earth). Thus, you may be discovering all the fears you hid in the past and now dare to confront. In a social sense, the quarry can represent your concern for the preservation of the environment.

A chalk quarry promises financial difficulties that can be solved by working hard. Stone quarry portends a trip.
