Machete – The machete is a symbol of cutting through the underbrush of life. Underbrush consists of things that have to be slogged through but do not benefit us at all, but rather hinder us. Things that are commonly considered the ‘underbrush of life’ are bills, debt, school, and work. If you dream about a machete it means that you desperately need to escape from your everyday routine and find out if there is a better route to accomplishing your dreams.
