An interpretation of ditching dreams

An interpretation of ditching dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. A ditch in a dream can indicate a lowly personal state. When a ditch is used as a comparison, it can express a similar meaning as “mind in the gutter.” For example, a man dreams that he waits for his pretty female co-worker to leave work and abducts her. He drives her to a deserted area, saying out loud, “I just have to get it.” He pulls her out of the car and into a ditch, presumably to rape her. She kicks him in the groin and runs away. He tracks her down, knife in hand. The last thing he sees before the dream ends is the thick look of fear in her eyes. The dream could easily be interpreted as a rape fantasy, but in the co-worker the dream presents two layers of meaning. One, she’s the sort of pretty girl he feels like he’ll never have, and two, his advancement at work is blocked. He’s not getting what he wants on either front, expressed in his statement, “I just have to get it.” The situation is hitting him right in the manhood, symbolized by the kick in the groin. The ditch symbolizes where his thoughts and feelings dwell. He’s in a lowly state. A ditch is commonly used to describe a situation that runs off the proverbial road. If your life is in a ditch, it means you encounter difficulties that bring you down. A ditch is where water drains or escapes, and that idea can be used in dreams to express a wish to escape a situation or be rid of troublesome emotions. A ditch can symbolize wanting to conceal your feelings, thoughts, motives, intentions, or actions. “Ditch” can be wordplay for “avoid.” See also: Alleys, Dead ends, Hiding, Roads
