Obstacle

Although we rarely dream of obstacles as such, in our dreams we often see insurmountable fences, gates that do not open, and other barriers. A typical Freudian approach requires us to determine what we will achieve by overcoming the barrier, and then try to draw an analogy with some taboo.

If someone helps you climb over an obstacle, pass through it or crawl under it, then this person is your accomplice in breaking something, or the very fact of overcoming an obstacle with joint efforts can be a taboo, a prohibition. Depending on which area the taboo, aggression, sex, or other forbidden concept belongs to, you need to determine your feelings about what is on the other side of the fence, river, or other obstacle. You may experience horror at the appearance of any limitation/obstacle that you cannot overcome and that the companions do not recommend overcoming for the simple reason that no one does. Perhaps the main idea here is a perceived threat or inability to cope with an obstacle. Perhaps you believe that you need to look at the world with a fresh eye, to reevaluate yourself. Then the obstacle represents what prevents you from doing it. To a greater extent, this applies to those cases when, in order to cross the river, you travel a lot or go with companions who do not want to cross the other bank with you. If companions help you, regardless of the kind of obstacles, it is wiser to listen to their advice. Often we believe that the fence must be overcome, while the very fact of support from companions is an important point. Although sometimes it seems that the number of obstacles is decreasing, the psychological effort spent on overcoming them in life becomes the source of many problems that could be avoided if we knew where to stop.
