Rust

Symbolic of earthly riches, Matt. 6:19. Rust is a symbol of all things temporal

Seeing something that has become rusted, shows how the 'elements' or experience have worn you down. It can sometimes portray feelings that have become 'mechanical,' or routine and can be a complex or abstract view of blood, as in your life force that has run dry. Where something that is decaying can show a part of the self that has been neglected due to fear, seeing something rusted shows what is neglected because of hardness or being jaded. See also Metal.

In a dream, rust or corrosion represents an ostentatious and an affectatious person who displays piety and devotion during the day and contempt during the darkness of the night. It also could represent a thief, a highway robber, or a weak, tardy and negligent person, or a person who hoards money and likes to live alone.
