Digging in a dream

Biblical meaning from Hearing God's Voice in Dreams by Apostle Nicholas V. Mbanjwa

Also: Excavating, Trenching, Digging a hole, Breaking ground

What it means

Preparation; persistence in faith; searching for truth; building deep and stable foundations.

Seeking wisdom.

He digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock. The depth of the digging is what the house rests on when the flood comes.

✦ When it is positive

Creating capacity for more
Preparation
Searching deeper
Making the valley full of ditches before the water comes

⚠ When it is a warning

Seeking trouble
Opening up buried wounds
Setting a trap — he made a pit and fell into the ditch he made

How to tell the difference

Note WHAT is being dug and WHY. Digging a foundation is preparation; digging a pit may be a trap; digging up what was buried may reopen a wound. Note also whether the dreamer digs or watches another dig.
