Arch
An arch is a threshold and a sign of rising — a span one passes beneath toward something higher. In dreams it often marks ascent to distinction, a doorway into greater standing. The dream tends to ask what we are passing under or through, and what elevation lies on the far side of it.
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for arch, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
WHAT'S IN A DREAM. 39 An arch in a dream, denotes your rise to distinction and the gaining of wealth by persistent effort. To pass under one, foretells that many will seek you who formerly ignored your position.
For a young woman to see a fallen arch, denotes the destruction of her hopes, and she will be miserable in her new situation.
