A faucet is the access point to running water, a symbol of civilization, convenience, and abundant living. Water connects to the emotional elements of the human experience, and in this way a faucet represents what can be done when your emotional life is harnessed for good.

Something inhibiting a faucet in a dream is reflecting an imbalance in how you are sustaining yourself, keeping filled with life force, and possibly cleansing your emotional experience so that you can continually start fresh.
