Hole
Holes, Falling into a hole, Hole in the wall
Holes are absences you can see: something that should be there and isn't. In dreams a hole often marks a gap in your life, like a missing piece of information, a person who's gone quiet or a skill you haven't learned yet. A hole in your clothes or shoes ties in with wear and tear, the sense that a routine has been worn thin. A hole in the roof lets the weather in, so it may hint at a worry finding its way into a place you thought was sheltered. Stepping into a hole you didn't see is mostly a small stumble, not a disaster: an oversight that slows you down rather than stops you.

- A hole in your clothesA flaw is showing in something you use every day. Mend it before it spreads.
- Filling in a holeYou're making up for something that was missing, perhaps time, care or knowledge. Patient effort will level the ground.
- A hole in a boatEffort is seeping out of a plan through a gap you haven't spotted. Find the leak before you row any harder.
