1- 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 which needs understanding.

If looking back, there may be something in the past which needs attention before we can move on.

2- 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.

3- Spiritual progress can be suggested by a quay, since it is a point of departure.

Interpretation 2 — DreamForth

To dream that you are standing on the quay suggests a demeanor given to melancholy.

To stand on the quay and see water that is rough and frightening indicates a fear of releasing your addiction to sad thoughts or depression. These emotional states have been serving you in some way.

To dream of calm water may mean you will find it easy to think more positively and release some melancholy moodiness once and for all.

Gives gender-specific: 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. You might like to consult the entries for boat / ship, journey and water.
