Example: A man dreamed of being elbowed in the ribs by his ex-fianc�e who was trying to get his attention, but he never gave her attention. In waking life, his ex-fianc�e left him a year earlier and he was having trouble getting her out of his mind. In this case, being elbowed by his ex-fianc�e may have reflected his feelings about being psychologically "pushed" into thinking about her even though he didn�t want to if he thought about her too much.
