Dreaming of Clothes Getting Caught in a Closet - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may reflect the frustration of wanting to leave your current role or relationship but being unable to move easily.
You try to pull out some clothes, but a sleeve or hem is caught in the door and will not come free. The harder you pull, the more tangled it gets, so you become careful not to tear anything.
Korean lore: Traditionally, clothes that would not come off the rack have sometimes been connected with being stuck in your work or tied up in a relationship. If you eventually pulled the clothes free, it has been interpreted as looking for a clue to untangle what had been blocked. (In folk dream interpretation, the movement of clothes can represent the flow of your social roles and activities, while getting caught can point to delays in your work or entanglements in your relationships.)
Through the mind: You may want to leave your job but keep holding on to make a living, or want to end a relationship while worrying about the other person's reaction. The dream may show how being caught between what you have to do and where you want to go has made it hard to move.
