QUAY

Spiritual Meaning:
Spiritual progress can be suggested by a quay, since it is a point of departure. This image has obviously had more relevance in the past when travel by sea was more prevalent than air travel.

Psychological / Emotional Perspective:
Because anything associated with water is connected with emotion and how we feel about things, being on a quay can indicate how we need to handle other people’s emotions as we move into a new phase of life. It also signifies being prepared to participate in the flow of life.

Everyday Material Aspects:
Standing on a quayside in a dream can indicate either moving forward into a new phase of life or leaving an old one behind. If looking forward with a sense of anticipation, it is the new phase that needs understanding. If looking back, there may be something in the past which needs attention before we can move on.

Gender / Specific Meanings:
Oddly, a quay, presumably because of its shape, can represent the masculine principle. In a man’s dream it is the quay itself which will be relevant; in a woman’s dream it will be the water and her emotions.
