Hole Dream Meaning

Dream interpretation from 25 unique sources about Hole

1- A hole usually represents a difficult or trickv situation. It can also be a place where we may hide, or feel protected in.

To dream of falling into a hole indicates that we are perhaps getting in touch with our unconscious feelings, urges and fears.

To walk round a hole suggests we may need to get round a tricky situation. We may also need to become aware of the other parts of ourselves that are buried beneath our surface awareness.

2- A hole can very often represent the feminine and the emptiness one feels as one moves towards an understanding of the Self.

A hole in the roof of any sacred building, or any hole which allows steam or smoke to escape, is the opening upwards to the celestial world and is the door or gateway to other dimensions.

It is interesting that, as central heating and living in Hats becomes more commonplace, we feel more and more enclosed without aspect to that spiritual awareness.

3- A round hole represents the Heavens, a square hole represents the Earth. [1]

Vision: Looking at a hole means someone is setting a trap for you. Falling into a hole: you are harming another person, but in the long run it is you who will suffer.

Depth Psychology: The hole is usually a warning of danger or that someone is setting a trap for you. It could also be the memory of a past mistake that is bubbling up. Are you seeing the world only through a very small “hole”? Are you falling into a hole? Do you have a “hole in your head”? In a man’s dream, it might indicate a female sex organ and refer to your erotic desires. [3]

By analogy, a hole is related to the vagina and fertility. Dreaming that you are falling into a hole indicates your attitude is not so positive. A feeling of emptiness may be invading you and bringing complete sadness. This could mean a period of regression and decline in your values. The message that this dream tries to convey is that you might plunge into a depression if you get carried away by these negative approaches.

It is recommended to seek new interests in order to recover with confidence.

If the holes appear on clothing, maybe you are too worried about your external image.

The omens of this dream are disadvantageous. You will establish friendship with seedy and unreliable people. Additionally, holes in the clothes denote debts. [4]

Holes, as all other dream symbols, can only be appropriately interpreted by considering the details and the emotional content of the dream. Holes in socks, clothing, furniture, etc., may represent feelings of faultiness or depravation. You may be bringing your attention to the fact that there is something missing or in need of repair in your life. At times holes can represent the female sex organs. Dark holes can symbolize the great “unknown” or the entrance to the unconscious.

If there are many negative or frightening feelings associated with this dream, you may be becoming aware of some problematic or troublesome situation in your life. [5]

The idea that something is missing or something has been lost.

A flaw, irregularity, or the idea that something is not quite right.

An opening or opportunity for something to pass from one area to another (such as in a dam, fence, or computer network).

A hole in clothing can represent a threat to your personal boundaries, vulnerability, or perceived shabbiness or inferiority.

Being down in a hole can represent “feeling down,” or a feeling or fear of being stuck somehow in your life.

Female sexuality. During fertility rights in honor of the Great Mother, a phallic-shaped loaf of bread was baked and buried in a hole in the ground. In Rome, money was thrown into a hole in the ground that was a symbol of fertility.

A deep hole also symbolizes loss, insecurity, and fear of the future.

The hole might also represent a blind spot, that area within us (and sometimes in others) that we cannot see.

Mystical place of death and rebirth (lion’s den). Graves as holes-in-the-ground.

According to Freud and Jung, it is an obvious female sexual symbol. [7]

A hole implies that something is missing. Whether this is a literal hole in an object, a hole that has been dug in the ground, or the metaphorical hole that people describe having in their heart or gut, the basic symbolic meaning behind a hole is that a piece of something has been taken from where it belongs and there is an acute sense of something missing as a result. Allow the dream context to reveal the area of your life in which you are having this experience and the severity of the wound. [8]

Freudian: A vaginal emblem.

Jungian: The subconscious, or an opening to this realm. Aspects of the self that you’ve hidden or fear.

Manholes represent pitfalls and traps that can be plunged into, often without noticing the danger beforehand.

Falling into a hole symbolizes a hazard that was either unforeseen or underestimated. This can also be a descent into the subconscious, or a deepening depression. [9]

Psychological / emotional perspective: A hole in dreams can very often represent the feminine and the emptiness one feels as one moves towards an understanding of the self. Without access to the vastness of the heavens – and as central heating, living in flats and in conurbations becomes more commonplace – we tend to feel more and more enclosed and less in touch with the natural order of things. [10]
A round hole traditionally represents the heavens, a square hole represents the earth. This symbolism arises from the very simple representations developed to present complex ideas.

A hole in the roof of any sacred building, or any hole which allows steam or smoke to escape, is the opening upwards to the celestial world and is the door or gateway to other dimensions. [11]

Dreams of a hole represent receptivity, femininity, and that you are holding a space for new life to come in. However, if you dream of feeling empty, hungry or needy, then you are venting out feelings of lack or loss. Keep in mind that as you grow in your realization of your spiritual wholeness, you will realize that you are never empty. [12]
To step or fall into a hole is a warning against undesirable companions; reassess your relationships.

A hole in a garment forecasts improving luck in financial matters.

A dream of digging a hole predicts a sudden trip, and to observe holes made by others indicates easier times ahead. [13]

(1) A hole may be a sexual symbol, representing vagina or womb.

(2) A deep dark hole in the earth, or one that feels like the bottomless pit may symbolize the unconscious, under the fearsome aspect it presents when we have not familiarized ourselves with it. [14]

A hole in the ground represents a pitfall if one dreams of falling into a hole or one’s life is represented by dark holes. It can also mean that the dreamer is “stuck” in a hole or that something is hidden. (See also: Cave, Pit). [15]
Dark hole is unknown part of self you are now facing. A hole in something means repair is needed; or thought processes are lacking, as a hole in your argument. Pitfall of your own making.

If standing in a hole, see Grave. [16]

A hole in the ground symbolizes an obstacle that you must avoid to achieve success at something in real life. It can also mean that you feel someone is hiding things from you. Also see “Rabbit Hole” [17]

A spiritual flaw; if in the ground, see “pit” [22]

(Deception, Plot, Profits, Fall) Digging a hole, a water well, or an irrigation and planning to water the plants with them in a dream means attending one’s needs and serving the interests of his family. Eating from the dirt one piles from digging in his dream represents a swagger, or someone who acquires money through deception. Seeing oneself inside a hole in a dream also means divorce.

To see oneself outside of such a hole looking at it in a dream means having an argument with one’s spouse that will end in reconciliation.

If a sick person or a prisoner sees himself coming out of a hole in a dream, it means that he will become free from his trials. Falling into a hole and crying for help to no avail in a dream means taking a short trip.

A hole in a dream also represents a poor woman who strives to cover others pitfalls, though she cannot veil her own. Hiding inside a hole in a dream also means appeasement of one’s fears, or ending of one’s adversities.

If while hiding, one finds food, or fresh water, or a cloth to cover himself in the dream, it means profiting from sources one does not anticipate, or making peace with an opponent.

To put a hole in one’s shoe in a dream means facing trouble and adversities.
