A border is a barrier and can symbolize something hindering you or in your way. A line you should not cross. Or a line you do cross, such as when you enter a new phase of life. Age eighteen, for example, is considered the age of adulthood in some countries, and when approaching that age a person is said to be “on the border” of adulthood. A line is crossed the day you turn eighteen, or graduate from college, get married, start your first job, become a parent or retire. When a border symbolizes something hindering you, the dream will have supporting details such as a closed border crossing, a fence, or guards blocking the way. Paying to cross a border can symbolize investing personal resources such as time and energy, or making a personal sacrifice. For example, to get married you give up single life. Of course, paying to cross a border can symbolize investment of money, too, such as paying the cost of tuition to get the education you need to cross into the next phase of life. “On the border” can mean you are torn or divided about a decision, or on the verge of deciding, similar to the phrase “on the fence.” It can mean “close,” especially to a personal destination. Borders divide and separate and can symbolize things that divide people from each other: race, ethnicity, education level, income, religion. With that use of the symbolism, a border in a dream is likely to show the division or separation. You are on one side, and whatever you are divided from is on the other side. See: Fences A border can indicate a wish to go in a new direction, or the need to make big changes. The changes might be geographical—you want or need to move to a new location, perhaps even to a new country—but big changes can be made in yourself too, such as starting a new career, reshaping your body, or creating a new persona. It can mean you need challenge or adventure. Borders are associated with foreign countries, and in dream language that can translate to being in a foreign place in your life. You feel different, things are a bit off. You feel movement inside yourself but aren’t sure where you’re headed. See also: Bridges, Fences, Journeys, Fences, Foreignness, Trespassing, Wallets
