Customs

Dreaming of customs often reflects a situation where you face certain rules, restrictions, or the need to 'declare' your intentions and 'values' before moving forward. This symbol is associated with crossing internal or external boundaries that require self-assessment and responsibility. Psychologically, customs can represent the process of self-analysis, where you must re-evaluate what you carry with you on your new journey – old habits, beliefs, emotional baggage. From a Jungian perspective, this is an encounter with the guardian of the threshold, forcing you to confront aspects of yourself that may be hidden or unexplored. Customs asks you what you are 'bringing in' to the new stage of your life and what you are willing to 'leave behind'. Spiritually, it is a symbol of checking your conscience and readiness to observe universal laws when transitioning to a new level of consciousness.
