DREAM DICTIONARY : This dream dictionary makes the claim that it is better than any other. Why? It works on the assumption that if something very big and important happens the day before then you will surely dream about it. This dictionary collects together such dreams and has meticulously studied their meanings. Try to study the definitions and questions below and see how they relate to real life right now.

FENCE : Fences tend to link with the obstacles in the way of us in real life. Often we will not do something because it feels inappropriate to do so. Other times we wish to break out of such constraints. Think also of the barriers that we are placing in the path of others.

QUESTIONS to help you make associations(pick the one that makes most sense to you)
- What barriers and limitations are getting in your way?
- Do you feel particularly seperated from someone right now?
- Is there some boundary that you have crossed? Some rule that should not be broken?

KEY WORDS : Territoriality, barriers, protecting, feeling seperated, constraints(write down some quotes that capture your key feelings on issues that have been dominating your mind. Then see if any of these words could appear in those quotes)

KEY PHRASES(Pick a quote which captures your feelings right now. Think especially of the day before the dream) :
- "She sees that as her own territory and is jealous about anyone who oversteps the mark"
- "I feel we need protecting from him"
- "I am separated from my husband right now"
- "I really miss him"
- "There seems to be so many barriers in my way"

ESSAY : What is the symbolic meaning of Fences in dreams?

Fences may refer to some issue concerning territory. E.g.

"My coworker is quite territorial about the main computer. She does not like me using it at all"[Dream symbol - fence]

Fences may suggest your need to set a boundary or prevent something happening. E.g.

"I recognise a guy who has just come into the restaurant. He is the pedophile who assaulted my niece years ago. I juts cannot bear to deal with him. My boss insists that I serve him but he is revolting".[Dream symbol - The little girls became very frightened and ran to hide behind this tall wooden fence]

Fences may suggest some kind of separation which is preventing you seeing someone you love. E.g.

"My husband is about to deploy into Iraq "[Dream symbol - walk along fence]

"I was coming home on the bus and I was thinking how I don’t care about anybody else, except my boyfriend. I was really missing him at that moment"[Dream symbol - I walked up to a fence ]

Fences keep others out but they are also a barrier to those who wish to get out. They can symbolise obstacles in your way in leaving a relationship. E.g.

"I am desperate to get out of my marriage. There are several barriers I have to overcome such as the need to find a home."[Dream symbol - back porch was fenced off]

Fences symbolise obstacles of all kinds. Think of any boundary that you wish to cross but feel unable to. E.g.

"I was in real need of some help yesterday but I felt cut off from the people who might help me. I wanted to ask but simply could not because it was not appropriate"[Dream symbol - Ball landed in another garden underneath the fence. ]

"I need to take more risks and live life to the full. I realise I see too many hurdles in real life"[Dream symbol - It showed a man jumping a barely controllable horse over a fence]

Fences can suggest separation and isolation from people around you. E.g.

"I am feeling a little separated from people in real life. I am in need of allergy tablets and because of it I keep losing my temper with customers"[Dream symbol - the property was fenced and full of huge stone buildings]

"I was thinking about my neighbour last night and realise that the death of her sister must have devastated her. She hardly ever gets out of the house. She has no one to do her shopping. She is a miserable and nasty woman but now she must be entirely on her own" [Dream symbol - woman on cliff fence]

"I rarely have people over in the house I live in now because I find it boring and don’t think people like it. My parents break little promises a lot, like for example getting a computer for my birthday which never happened. "[Dream symbol - it was fenced off ]

"I feel I need to take fewer risks. I should be more aware of my own barriers "[Dream symbol - It showed a man jumping a barely controllable horse over a fence]

"My ex girlfriend has just come back from the military. I am unsure of her feelings. She says she is going to meet with a guy. I kind of hoped we would get back together" [Dream symbol - But another came from around the fence.]

"I am due to meet a guy I have a serious crush on. I am overcoming some bad feelings that I had towards him"[Dream symbol - My brother jumps over the fence. I went below it]

Fences will often link to issues concerning yourself and your own problems and limitations. E.g.

"I have been thinking about my own situation recently and have come to some conclusions. I am in a stage of transformation. I think things are clearer in my mind now"[Dream symbol - an enclosed fenced in area with a pond]

The fence may simply symbolise a true to life setting in your life. E.g.

"I have been having some interesting chats with my neighbour recently and we are actually starting to get along very well"[Dream symbol - at neighbors fence ]
