Underground

Being underground often touches danger of losing reputation and fortune, with distressing speculation if you ride an underground railway. The dream may ask where you've descended into something hidden and beneath the surface, and whether the buried course you're on is endangering your standing and means in ways daylight would expose.

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

To dream that you go down under ground, whether into a well, a deep cellar or vault, or a cave, denotes your early death; but if you dream that you are digging in the ground, and are in a hole which you have dug, the omen is different, for it denotes riches and long life.
