Moat dream meaning is explained below using 6 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Pamela Ball

1- A moat is a representation of our defences against intimacy. In dreams we can see for ourselves how we build or dig those enclosures. We can also decide what steps we need to take to remove them.

2- When we need to contain our own emotions we will often create a way of monitoring to whom we need to relate.

A moat can be a symbol for this ability.

3- A moat can be an emotional barrier or defence.
