Gatekeeper dream meaning is explained below using 4 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.
Interpretation 1 — Nancy Wagaman
An authority figure who gives or denies permission.
Someone or something that determines what you can and can’t do (such as a person, organization, government, rules or laws, or your own internal decision maker).
Being a gatekeeper can represent having a sense of control or authority in your own life, or the importance you place on that.
Having trouble getting past a gatekeeper can represent someone or something you feel is limiting you or holding you back somehow, the idea of placing blame on someone else rather than taking responsibility for yourself and your life.
See Security, Door or Entrance
Interpretation 2 — James R. Lewis and Evelyn Dorothy Oliver
If the dreamer is the gatekeeper, the dream may mean the dreamer should be careful about what he or she allows to pass through or hold on to in his or her life.
Interpretation 3 — myjellybean
If you are not allowed through the gate, you are fed up with things the way they are.
