[1]To dream of rock suggests stability in the real world.
If we are on firm ground we can survive. We may also be aware that we must be firm and stand ‘rock-like’ and not be dissuaded from our purpose. Seaside rock can remind us of happier, more carcfree times.
On an intellectual level, all the images that one thinks of in relationship to rocks prevail. There is reliability, coldness, rigidity and so on. We need to recognise these qualities within ourselves in order to handle ourselves properly. We can find ourselves between a ‘rock and a hard place’ in a difficult situation in dreams.
Spiritually we will need, at some point, to go through a barrier from difficulty to sanctuary. This often presents itself as a rock barrier. Dual rocks through which we must pass suggest the same image as the passage between two pillars, that is, passing from one state of being to the next.

Patience is the key! To dream that you are climbing a steep rock, signifies struggles and obstacles ahead.

The danger of the rocks, therefore, reminds you that you cannot disregard too much in real life.
[5]Reality, but not just physical reality; the physical world; the eternal as it is met by our waking self; stability; a remembrance of something or someone important to us.
If the rock is sculpted: what our life has expressed to enrich our own spiritual or eternal nature.
A small rock, stone: the unconscious sees our personal existence as a part of the material the cosmos is made of—another pebble on the beach.
The rock portrays how we shape the material of our nature through our life—similar to the parable of the talents.
