Dreaming of rope
Read two ways. Let them disagree, the truth often sits between.
Artemidorus · Oneirocritica
Drawn up, it speaks of To be thrown a rope, or to hold one fast, foretells help arriving in difficulty and a debt of gratitude soon owed. Rope in good coils denotes provisions laid by, affairs in order.
Drawn down, it warns of To be bound with rope warns of obligation, debt, or a suit tightening around you, and counsels seeking wise company before you act.
Jungian · the collective unconscious
Drawn up, it speaks of The rope is connection under tension, the fiber that holds one part of your life to another. To climb a rope, or be thrown one, means the psyche is offering a way across, and the strength to hold it.
Drawn down, it warns of A rope binding you is a tie become a restraint, often one you knotted yourself. Frayed rope is a connection asked to carry more weight than it was ever laid for.
