Ability to move from one inner level of the subconscious mind to another
A 'Tunnel' in a dream represents your ability to move from one inner level of the subconscious mind to another. A tunnel is a passage through solid earth -- it cuts through what would otherwise be an impenetrable barrier, creating a pathway from one side to the other. In the Universal Language of the Mind, earth represents the subconscious mind. A tunnel is a passage through the subconscious that connects two different levels. This is a powerful symbol of inner access. The tunnel provides a way through -- a path that takes you from one level of subconscious awareness to another, deeper level. It may be dark within the tunnel, representing the unawareness that exists between levels. But there is light at the end -- there is always something waiting on the other side. When a tunnel shows up in your dream, it is reflecting your ability to move deeper within your subconscious mind. You are transitioning between levels of awareness. Trust the passage. Keep moving forward, even through the darkness. What awaits you on the other side is a deeper level of self-knowledge and awareness.
