Wheelbarrow

A small one-wheeled cart for moving loads by hand — the lever and wheel together turning a heavy load into one person's work.

A wheelbarrow in a dream is the dream's image of lever and wheel together turning a heavy load into one person's work. The wheelbarrow does not remove the weight; the wheelbarrow lets a single person move what otherwise would have required several. The dream brings the wheelbarrow when something in your life — a piece of household maintenance, a piece of grief, a domestic project — is being carried by one person with the help of a small device that does most of the work the body would otherwise have done. A wheelbarrow loaded sensibly and rolled to its place is the dream affirming the well-used tool. A wheelbarrow overloaded past balance, the load tipped and scattered halfway, is the dream noting that the small device has its limits, and the attempt to make it do the work of several pairs of hands has cost more than splitting the work would have.
