Dreaming of duct tape may be a symbol that the sleeper is grasping onto a temporary solution to an ungrounded problem. It is perfect for temporary fixes or to fill in the gaps in your life. It can also be used to signify the need to hold on tight and not let go.
Duct tape in a dream signifies the dreamer hurriedly repaired small splinters in hopes it will address the root cause of their restlessness. It stands for an unstable means of goal attainment, no matter how well-intended it is.
Duct tape in dreams may also signify that there is something pulling or holding you back – perhaps a person or an institution. For example, if your dream has duct tape covering your mouth, then this could be an indication that you are feeling suffocated or controlled by others.
