Walking along the edge of a trench indicates the fear of being in a dangerous situation that is out of control. It can be interpreted as a warning of caution to the dreamer against her current difficulties. Falling into it indicates loss of control over your issues. Deliberately jumping into it is a sign of bravery and courage in the face of the unknown.
Dreaming of a trench is generally a bad omen. It portends dangers, misery, and an unhappy marriage. [1]
If the trench relates to a scholar in the dream, then it represents his advisors, or his circle of intimates who support his theories.
If it relates to one’s wife, the trench then represents her guardian or her father.
If it relates to one’s son, the trench then represents his parents. Noticing a city without a trench or a castle to defend it in a dream means failure to pay alms or charities, wasting money, losing knowledge, the spread of evil, or an enemy attack against that city. [5]
