Passages & Thresholds · dream symbol interpretation
Interpretation
The tunnel is passage through darkness with the promise of emergence — the birth canal, the near-death corridor, the underground way through what cannot be crossed above. In a tunnel there is only forward or back: no side exits.
Positive Resonance
Passage through difficulty, focus, the light at the end, rebirth
Shadow Aspect
Tunnel vision, no exits but through, claustrophobic passage, darkness before emergence
