Wedge

Interpretation

A wedge is a tool that splits or stabilizes through applied pressure. In dreams, it can represent disagreements, decisive boundaries, or the leverage needed to move stuck situations. Driving a wedge between objects may mirror fear of relationships fracturing. Using a wedge to secure a door suggests protecting space.

Consider where strategic pressure is helpful and where it could cause unnecessary division.

Common Meanings

• Inserting a wedge: Creating distance; communicate intentions to avoid misunderstandings
• Removing a wedge: Restoring connection; soften pride to repair bonds
• Broken wedge: Lost leverage; seek alternative strategies for change

Cultural Context

Tools like wedges appear in carpentry, masonry, and activism—think of “wedging open doors” for inclusion. Reflect on how your culture or profession uses leverage, and how power dynamics influence who gets to create space versus who is wedged out.
