If you dream of setting a trap, it suggests you are willing to use calculated, behind-the-scenes maneuvering to get what you want. Finding yourself caught in one warns that your rivals are sharper than you have given them credit for, and you may be outplayed. Catching something in a trap, however, is an encouraging sign — it points to success in whatever field you pursue. An empty trap signals that misfortune is hovering close by. A trap that is broken or rotting with age foretells struggles in your professional life, and health troubles may surface within your household as well.
