A permit suggests that recognition has been given by authority. In spiritual terms this indicates that permission has been given, or initiation has taken place to enable us to act in a certain way. When we permit certain actions this suggests that we approve of what is being done. When we find ourselves seeking permission in dreams it may be that we are uncertain of a particular course of action and feel that we need to have our decisions validated. In both men's and women's dreams, a permit can suggest the right to a relationship. Permission may be required from either party or from others for such a relationship. A backstage permit indicates the ability to get to know somebody better.
