Boundary Dream Meaning

Dreams of boundaries symbolize your attitudes and feelings about saying “No”. You are learning to set healthy limits, allowing yourself to have some alone time, learning to speak up for yourself, and protecting yourself against a real or perceived threat. Also a fortress could represent your desire to hold tight to your ideals and patterns as you fight against change. Alternatively, this dream may be showing you that you may have set too many boundaries and are keeping intimacy, love, and opportunities at bay. [1]
