Dream meaning of digging

To dream of digging, denotes that you will never be in want, but life will be an uphill affair.

To dig a hole and find any glittering substance, denotes a favorable turn in fortune; but to dig and open up a vast area of hollow mist, you will be harrassed with real misfortunes and be filled with gloomy forebodings.

Water filling the hole that you dig, denotes that in spite of your most strenuous efforts things will not bend to your will.

Digging in a dream may indicate a struggle to unearth one’s reputation or integrity, a search for something lost or buried, or an effort to bury some unpleasant aspect of the past. Any downward movement can also symbolize digging into the unconscious in an effort to understand oneself.

The significance of this dream varies according to the circumstances of the dreamer. For a person in business or in a job, it signifies that hard, or harder, work will be necessary to attain what he wants. For a professional person, it indicates that a further course of study or acquisition of higher qualifications would be beneficial to his or her aims.
If you don’t fit either of the foregoing categories, then the key to the meaning of the dream lies in the effort involved in the action: if the soil was soft and/or the digging easy, you are in for a happy period of easy living; if the digging was hard and slow going, you can expect to have to struggle for a while yet.

You are expressing a need or desire to get to the bottom of something. Anything that is under the surface of the ground relates to hidden consciousness – available to be known, but not until some exploration is undertaken. Such an image in a dream may indicate that there is something to be gained from looking below the surface.
