Customs hall

A room at a border where goods and people are checked — the official boundary at which a thing is declared.

A customs hall in a dream is the dream's image of the official boundary at which a thing is declared. What passes the customs hall must be named and assessed; what does not, must be either let through or returned. The dream brings the customs hall when something in your life — a piece of imported emotion, a relationship moving from private to public, a claim being brought into a new institutional context — is at the point of being inspected and named. A clean passage through customs with everything declared is the dream affirming the honest crossing. A customs hall where a hidden item is found is the dream noting that the attempt to bring something in without declaring it has been seen, and the passage will now cost more than the item was worth.
