Dream Symbol: gatekeeper

gatekeeper

  • Permission, or an authority figure who gives or denies permission
  • A person, an organization (like the government), rules or laws, a council or governing group, or your own internal decision maker who decides what you should or shouldn't do, and what you will & won't allow yourself or others to do

You being a gatekeeper can represent having a sense of control in your life, or the idea that having control in your life is very important to you right now

Having trouble getting past a gatekeeper can mean you feel that others are holding you back somehow in your life. Be sure you're taking responsibility for your life and not just blaming others.

Tips to Understand Dream Meaning

Dream symbol meanings are different for each person. It's IMPORTANT to consider:

  • Personal meaning - What the dream symbol means to you, what it reminds you of, how it makes you feel.
  • Context - How the dream symbol appears in the dream. For example, in a dream about a bee - what was the bee doing, how and where it was doing it, and how did you feel about it?
  • Look beyond the obvious - A dream is often about something other than its obvious meaning. Physical events in the dream commonly represent mental or emotional matters.
