A flagpole in a dream signifies your rudder for life. It is a symbol of focus, discipline and commitment. If you are able to see the flag on the top of the pole, then it suggests that you are calm and relaxed. But if you find that there is no flag on the top of the pole, then it means that something has come up that has disrupted your life’s direction.
The vertical pole usually represents a sense of greatness and ambition in dreams. This can be seen as someone who has great self-confidence or someone who is willing to take risks.
If you are walking up the steps to raise a flag on a flagpole in a dream then it suggests that you are striving to achieve something else in your life, such as career aspirations or personal goals.
