Chainlink Fence

To dream of a chainlink fence represents emotional or physical boundaries that allow you to see what you are restricted from without seeing it as a problem. Feelings of restraint, limitations, or barriers in your life with a sense of transparency. Awareness of what you are restricted from something and not liking being unable to do anything about it. Awareness of what boundaries are while needing to respect them on your own free will. Feeling "fenced in", restricted in what you can do, while being aware of what it is you're restricted from. Feeling restricted from personal growth that's aware of what it is you are not allowed to do anything about. A clear understanding of what kind of behavior is inappropriate that doesn't need explaining. A clear understanding of what you know you aren't supposed to do. Feelings about established territory in a relationship. A transparent restriction that tells you to think for yourself about not bothering overstepping it. Being professional about being aware of something while staying away from what it is.

Positively, dreaming about a chainlink fence may represent your ability to maintain a level of visibility and openness even when you encounter obstacles or challenges. Your capacity to assess a situation and gather information, even when you're dealing with restrictions. Awareness of the need for boundaries and protection, but you don't want to completely isolate yourself from the outside world. A sense of boundaries or restriction that doesn't stop you from being aware of what's happening while it wants you to respect it. Friendliness that sees what boundaries are and believes people should understand it on their own.

Negatively, dreaming about a chainlink fence may represent feelings of frustration or limitation, being able to see opportunities or possibilities but feeling unable to reach them. Perceived barriers that are transparent yet frustratingly insurmountable, or a sense of being trapped in your current situation. Feeling restricted by certain rules or societal expectations, or you might be struggling with the feeling of being so close yet so far from achieving your goals or desires. Exposure to something awesome or dangerous not meant to be experienced. A yearning for freedom that comes from being aware of the limitations you face.

The contrast to a solid wood or metal fence in a dream could suggest a difference in perception of the barriers you face. Where a solid fence implies a complete barrier to vision and understanding, a chainlink fence allows visibility and a clearer understanding of what you are being separated from.

To dream of a broken chainlink fence represents a weakening, vulnerability, or breach of the boundaries in your life where there was once a sense of transparency. Feelings that people can see what you are restricting and don't want to respect your boundaries. An opportunity to move beyond a boundary or restriction you face that's kept you jealously aware of the boundary or restriction.

Example: A woman dreamed of seeing a chainlink fence and driving her bike into 3 separate chainlink fences causing them to fall down. In waking life, her father was hospitalized and she didn't like how people were disrespecting his home. In this case, the chainlink fences may have reflected her feelings about seeing family members disrespecting her father's home who thought she couldn't do anything or talk back to them about it because of family relation boundaries.

Example 2: A woman dreamed of seeing strange white, pasty, sickly fleshed, completely hairless men inside round chainlink fences. In waking life, she had a fear of sick people. In this case, the chainlink fences may have reflected her awareness of people who were sick while respecting boundaries to avoid them. Her dream was also months before COVID-19 began.
