To excavate in a dream signifies that you are looking for something significant, or you need to go deeper into your feelings and emotions. This can also represent a change in circumstances. The act of digging can symbolize a deep and soulful exploration into an aspect of ourselves that we have not looked at before. We might be seeking to uncover something that we are avoiding or something that has been buried deep within us for a long time.
Dreaming about an excavation represents someone who is strong, capable and productive. It may also symbolize your desire to find answers or acquire more knowledge. Excavating in a dream typically symbolizes getting to the root of an issue or problem, with the dreamer often feeling like they are able to get to the bottom of something that has been troubling them.
