Discover the dream symbol interpretation and spiritual meaning

Western/Modern

Dreaming of a gutter symbolizes depression and low spirits but if you find something in it then you need to look in places where you least expect to find what you want to make you happy. It could also simply mean that the precious things in life could be found in the places that you would not usually look.

Islamic (Ibn Sirin)

In a dream, a gutter represents someone who is gracious from time to time. Seeing water flowing through gutters without a rainfall in a dream means corruption, or people who are spreading evil in that locality. Each gutter in such a dream also represents the loss of one life. Gutters in a dream also represent servants and housekeepers who faithfully manage their duties, or they could mean relief from distress or pressures. A gutter in a dream also may represent a trustworthy emissary or a reliable letter carrier. If blood flows through a gutter in a dream, then it represents a tyrant and bloodshed that will take place in that locality. If fresh water flows through it, and if people seem to benefit from it in the dream, then it represents economic growth, peace, safety and tranquility. If murky water or odorous and filthy water flows through it in a dream, it means plagues that include ulcers, tumors and smallpox. (Also see Gutter of Mercy; Roof) H

Biblical

To see someone in a gutter is symbolic of having strayed from the path of righteousness
