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

Interpretation 1 — Martha Clarke

A trench symbolizes the need for protection. The dreamer feels set upon by people or events that they cannot control and is looking to defend their self. In any case, it is not a negative dream because it indicates that you have not tired in the face of the danger, and there is the intention to act against it. The dreamer could come out well from a turbulent situation.

Walking along the edge of a trench indicates the fear of being in a dangerous situation that is out of control. It can be interpreted as a warning of caution to the dreamer against her current difficulties. Falling into it indicates loss of control over your issues. Deliberately jumping into it is a sign of bravery and courage in the face of the unknown.

Dreaming of a trench is generally a bad omen. It portends dangers, misery, and an unhappy marriage.

Interpretation 2 — Ibn Seerin

(Defenses) If it relates to the king or the ruler and his army in the dream, a trench then means one’s men and wealth.

If the trench relates to a scholar in the dream, then it represents his advisors, or his circle of intimates who support his theories.

If it relates to one’s wife, the trench then represents her guardian or her father.

If it relates to one’s son, the trench then represents his parents. Noticing a city without a trench or a castle to defend it in a dream means failure to pay alms or charities, wasting money, losing knowledge, the spread of evil, or an enemy attack against that city.
