Roof Dream Meaning

Dreaming of a roof is mainly tied to your sense of security. A roof keeps sun and rain off your head, and the roof in a dream likewise brings up the sense of safety deep inside you, or the lack of it. This dream keeps coming back at times when you feel you need shelter over your head. The state of the roof largely decides the meaning.

• A strong, clean roof

  You have built a place of support in your life that you can rely on.

• A cracked or leaking roof

  This points to a problem that has been neglected for a long time, perhaps in a relationship or at work.

• Falling off a roof

  This dream often comes from a fear of suddenly losing control.

• Standing on a roof looking at the view

  You can now see a stage of your life from above, in a wider frame.

• Building or repairing a roof yourself

  This dream matters just as much. It shows a conscious effort, however slow, to strengthen the shelter over your head with your own hands.

Protection is not a one-time job but the result of regular care. In the end, a dream of a roof is a reminder of that.
