Broken Object Dream Meaning

A broken or damaged object can represent a less than perfect, impaired, less effective, or useless version of whatever the object represents.

For example, a broken steering wheel could mean you’re feeling less than effective at staying on track in your life right now.

A broken wedding ring could represent a feeling that your marriage is going through challenges and could use some “repair.” See also: Depleted, Breaking, Bursting, Flood, Inferior, Hole, Leg, Destroying, Disabled [1]
