Gear – The presence of gears in your dreams symbolizes forces at work in your life. These forces bring progress and innovation to your life in such a way as to allow for a new outlook on life. It is important, however, to pay close attention and realize that they are all within your control. Sometimes the forces are uncomfortable. If you dream about getting caught in the gears or being trapped in them, it means that they seem beyond your control and you feel like they are working against you. Regardless of this feeling, you should take the time to objectively evaluate what they mean for you in the future. Remember, no matter how it seems, you are always in control of your life.
