Rip – A rip is a dream symbol of destruction. This is a negative dream symbol which indicates misfortunes. The exact thing being ripped in your dream is significant as well. This dream symbol may signify that something you have worked hard on is going to be damaged or destroyed, either by accident or by malice. Alternatively, this dream symbol may mean that something you take for granted as being a foundational reality (the fabric of reality, as it were) is soon going to be undermined. You may be in for an unpleasant time in the near future.
