Dreaming of an anchor means finding happiness in security and stability. Everything you have done in life is to set a strong foundation to weather tough storms that you have witnessed destroy the livelihood of many peers. The anchor is symbolic to the strength of your belief in hard work, and self sufficiency.
Anchor in a dream also signifies that the person is feeling weighed down by the responsibilities they have in their life. They may be going through a difficult phase of their life where they are having trouble living up to the expectations of others and themselves. For example, if someone is worried about what to wear in a social event, they might be feeling an anchor dragging them down because they might lack confidence. The appearance is important for them and if they don’t get it right, it might doom their day or night.
