Reoccurring - What is the meaning of small spaces?

[WilliamM]

I have noticed a reoccurring event in many of my dreams since childhood. I find myself in small spaces, or going through an extremely small opening. It is like the only door to enter the room and it seems perfectly normal to squeeze through, everybody does.The opening has been windows, doors, and even crowded stores with display cases positioned close together.This event happens often and once in a while I almost missed it because it was sort of hidden (like the crowded store).Does this small space, or small opening, have any meaning in dream interpretation? Because this happens to me often (in my dreams) I have wondered about it. When asking others about it they tend to avoid the subject.So, what do you think?

You have things in your life that you want to achieve, And there will be more things to come that you feel you have to achieve. The only thing is that these things seem too hard to achieve.But your dream is telling you that you can achieve them, Because in you dream, There is always a way out even though small it maybe and there is a way in and a way to do almost anything you want to do. I say go for it. Never say theres no wayyour dream has shown you.

Hi, Will.The general meanings of small spaces and passages are confinement and restriction. The precise meaning depends on the context, and the dreamer's feelings.For example, the propensity for dreaming of small spaces and passages since youth suggests the dreamer may have a tendency to see life as strongly compartmentalized, and approach transitions from one compartment to another with caution and forethought.To illustrate; people in the dreams squeeze through the narrow passages, but they apparently feel this is normal, while you do not. If you feel transitions should be scrutinized carefully, but see others giving little or no thought to the same transitions, that would be a good match for the meaning of the narrow passages in your dream.~Os
