Dream scenario

The Broken Fence

The barriers between you and your environment—be it a relationship, a job, or a personal space—are violently dissolving. You are either aggressively pushing boundaries or being overwhelmed by incursions into your personal space.

Symbolic reading

A failure to maintain appropriate psychological or physical limits; the need to violently redefine where 'self' ends and 'other' begins.

Practical reading

You might be allowing people to take advantage of your kindness, or conversely, you might be needing to aggressively push back against suffocating expectations.

Psychology explanation

This relates directly to issues of individuation. The dream highlights that your current boundaries are either too rigid (leading to explosion) or too porous (leading to absorption).
