The front of a house, building or store symbolizes the part of us that we put ‘out there’ for others to see. We are usually in the front when we are making changes to how we approach or interact with others. Dreaming of the front door or front yard shows how we move toward opportunity or how we socialize (unlike the back area that we keep more private.) Focusing on the front of any object seems to suggest appearance or how something seems on the surface – although the truth may be different. The front side of the body, especially as it relates to what we wear portrays the identity and the Persona . Just as we ‘con front’ situations – these dreams show us stepping out or changing how we appear or how we do things. After a period of isolation – we may dream of doing something on the porch as we ‘come out’ of hiding. See also Placement and Perspective .
