Versatile - Anonymous Interpretation:
Material aspects: When the energy has gone from a project or, for instance, a relationship, and it has lost focus, we may dream of dereliction. This is when there is no hope of re-energizing the project or relationship.
Anything derelict in your dream is telling you to buck up. You can over- come your present frustra- tion by using your com- mon sense plus a bit of ingenuity. Have a bash; you have nothing to lose but your discouragement.
Psychological / emotional perspective: Since hope and faith are two prime motivators, anything that appears derelict suggests that we have lost the ability to move away from difficult circumstances.
A derelict building or person signifies a lack of hope, a ‘lost sheep’.
