Drill
A tool that bores through resistant material — directed pressure that creates an opening.
A drill in a dream is the dream's image of focused pressure used to make an opening where none was. Drills go through wood, stone, and bone; they are not subtle, but they are specific. The dream brings the tool when you are working to make a way through something solid in your life — a stubborn position, an institutional wall, a piece of grief. A drill cutting cleanly is the dream affirming that the pressure is being applied in the right place. A drill shrieking against material that will not yield is the dream telling you you are pressing in the wrong spot, or with the wrong bit, and the resistance is winning.
