Fence in a dream
In the folk reading, a fence in a dream stands for the boundaries you set and for what you want to keep safe.
A fence in a dream is read two ways: as protection for what is dear to you and as an obstacle to get past. A handsome, sturdy fence means you know where you stand and are able to say no. If it stood in your way, old folk say a small challenge is waiting, one you will solve with patience rather than force. This dream often comes to people who are weighing how much closeness to give and to whom, and that is perfectly all right.
The most common dreams
Dreaming that you are jumping over a fence
By folk belief, jumping over means you will quickly and nimbly solve something that looked difficult. Your courage is said to pay off.
Dreaming that you are building a fence
Building a fence is read as a wish to protect your peace and your family. People believe that this is how you make firm what you have earned.
Dreaming of a broken fence
A broken fence foretells nothing bad. Old folk see it as a sign that it is time to let someone come closer, or to mend an old relationship.
Dreaming of a tall fence in front of you
A tall fence is read as a goal that seems out of reach. It is believed there is a gate you have not noticed yet, so look for another way through.
These interpretations come from folk tradition and are meant for fun; they do not predict the future and are not advice for life decisions.
