A diving board means something entirely different in each context. In the dream world, it can represent taking the first steps leading to success and a new life.
Taking the next step, practice good mental habits and trust yourself – even if people tell you that your progress seems slow and makes some think you are naive. Dive into action, don’t let conversations with other people bring thoughts that will keep you from making progress just as they may make you feel that your actions won’t lead anywhere.
Usually, diving boards are symbols for emerging from a life stage by leaping into the unknown and going outside of your comfort zone. It’s similar to taking the next step in life or, even better, releasing yourself to something that can happen.
The diving board in dreams symbolizes something that offers safety, security, and the ability to take a plunge into something risky.
