Breaking – Dreaming of something breaking can be very specific of several things. If you dream of a mirror being broken it is a symbol that you are unhappy about something very personal to you. If you dream of broken glass, it indicates that something is beyond your control about someone close to you. If you dream about broken pencils or wood of any kind, it is a symbol of disciplinary action against you. This might be a parking ticket or a reprimand at work.
