THRESHOLD

1- Crossing the threshold in dreams indicates new experiences.

To be lifted across a threshold may- suggest marriage, or in this day and age, a new relationship.

2- When we are about to take on new responsibilities, we can dream of standing on the threshold. We may be moving into a new life, or perhaps a new way of living.

The threshold experience is a strong one in Masonic imagery and Initiation rites. Even in Parliament, permission must be asked to cross the threshold.

3- We may be standing on the threshold of a new spiritual dawn.

The dreamer should be particularly- astute at this time and be aware of all that is around him.

Psychological / emotional perspective: When we are about to take on new responsibilities, we can dream of standing on a threshold. We may be moving into a new life, or perhaps a new way of living.

The threshold experience is a particularly strong one in masonic imagery and initiation rites and surfaces in dreams when we are emotionally ready for such a ceremony. Even in parliament, permission must be asked to cross the threshold.

In a dream, a threshold represents one’s gown, garment, one’s adornment, makeup, money, or it may denote closing a subject, spreading it, or it could represent a beautiful woman who embodies all the attributes man desires, including beauty, good character, intelligence, wealth and fertility. Buying a new threshold or sitting on one in a dream means that either the husband or the wife may suffer a bodily injury. Ifone sees himself sitting under the threshold of his door in a dream, it represents an adversity or an illness.

If one sees himself being carried over the threshold of his door in a dream, it represents his funeral.
