In dreams, derricks symbolize refusal to be confronted by obstacles or challenge. From the hold of his four legs we see that the dreamer has found the calm and quiet strength to overcome life’s challenges and reach new heights in his own self-supporting, self-helping way.
Derrick symbolizes steadfastness and unbending commitment, more than any other. In dreams this can reflect a very stubborn resolve or the lack of movement in relation to night anxieties, desires and aspirations.
One popular interpretation is how a derrick symbolizes obstacles literally standing in one’s way and having to overcome them all the same in order to move on ahead. Hence, it can suggest unity, solidarity and companionship with others who may be facing tough challenges as well.
