What does a lever mean in dreams?

1. The traditional interpretation

A dream about pulling a lever signifies your desire for control and influence over a situation or decision in your waking life. But the interpretation can be more multifaceted than that.

It may also reflect your wish to initiate change or set things in motion. Seeing someone else pull a lever, by contrast, could indicate feelings of powerlessness or being manipulated. It might also suggest that you are relying on others to make decisions for you. Both of these dreams highlight the importance of personal agency and control in your life.

A lever can be a somewhat deep and multifaceted dream experience to really clarify with certainty. To really say for sure, I'd have to take a deeper dive into the dreamer's life story and current environment.

2. The psychoanalyst's interpretation

Dreaming of pulling a lever may symbolize the unconscious desire to trigger a shift in your psychic equilibrium, a Freudian notion of balancing the id, ego, and superego.

Also: It could represent an attempt to activate latent aspects of your psyche or to instigate a transformative process. Observing another pull a lever, conversely, may reflect your projection of this transformative power onto others, suggesting a possible transference, where you unconsciously redirect feelings experienced in an earlier relationship to others in your current life. Both of these dreams underscore the psychoanalytic concept of the unconscious mind's influence on our actions and decisions.

3. The spiritualist's interpretation

Dreaming of pulling a lever may be thought of as a spiritual call to action, a divine nudge urging you to initiate change in your life. It may symbolize your soul's yearning to exert influence over your destiny, to take control of your spiritual journey. Conversely, witnessing someone else pull a lever in your dream could be a spiritual message that you are giving away your power, allowing others to dictate your path. It's a reminder to reclaim your spiritual autonomy. Both of these dreams emphasize the spiritual significance of personal agency and the importance of being the architect of your own destiny.
