Electric shock and other manifestations of energy - as a rule, accompany attempts to cross the boundaries of the TABOO or taste some forbidden fruit. Moreover, the energy can come from an unconventional source (such as an electric cattle press, a fence made of live iron wire, a pistol with a silencer) and be a projection of force directed against you by another character in the dream. Perhaps the paralyzing power of the electric shock and the invisible nature of electricity make you feel paralyzed or unable to move. The taboo you are trying to break may be quite obvious—for example, you want to visit a forbidden place, or, on a larger scale, you are too authoritarian. In both cases, the appearance of electrical or other energy acts as a triggering event. Did you notice what was the source of the electric discharge, or was it unexpected for you? Did the electric shock hurt you, did it paralyze you, or were you just uncomfortable?
