Complete Dictionary of Dreams

by Dr. Mıchael Lennox
A railing is there for protection and safety when an area is open and there is a risk of falling. Fear of falling is always about control and the need to maintain it.

A railing as a symbol in a dream is about the built-in protections around staying safe when taking risks.

If the railing is broken in your dreams, then you are feeling more unsafe than is comfortable. Grabbing on to a railing may indicate more fear than is necessary.

If you see porch or guard railings this denotes that some one is out to bar your way on the road to success.

If you find yourself holding to a railing for protection or stability then this shows that you are ready to take a drastic step to secure your hearts desire.

It is also a warning to play it as safe as possible.
