Road Block Dream Meaning

If you can identify what the block symbolizes, you will know what it is that prevents you from reaching the fulfilment you desire.

If there are policemen or soldiers there, do they represent your super-ego (‘conscience’)? If so, bear in mind that our inhibitions are not always rational and do not always serve our best interests. The main thing is to enter into dialogue with those who have made the road blocks: ask them why they are blocking your way, and who put them up to it? [1]
