Interpretation 1 — Martha Clarke
Hard, resistant, inflexible, this metal in a dream plays the symbolic role of perseverance and strength in the face of difficulties. In general, images with steel in them are generally positive for the dreamer denoting success and the achievement of goals.
Dreaming that you touch steel promises safety in life; to melt it reveals perseverance; to break it promises victory over powerful adversaries; to sell it is a harbinger of inheritance; to attempt to bend it unsuccessfully represents the dreamer’s mistrust at overcoming a challenge.
