A struggle with making decisions, feeling torn between two choices, or experiencing a conflict that leaves you feeling divided.

Example: A woman dreamed of leaving a hotel room with the door left half open. In waking life, she was separated from her husband and had recently decided to get a divorce. She had a bit of fear about the divorce process and being single. In this case, the door that is left half open may have reflected her feelings of uncertainty and hesitation about fully committing to the divorce and embracing her new single life with a small opportunity "left open" to reconcile.

Example 2: A woman dreamed of seeing a woman with a half-eaten bagel who said to her "I think there is something in this that I'm allergic to." In waking life, she had met a man that she liked at first, but then stopped liking him because he was too needy. In this case, the half-eaten bagel may have reflected her feelings about initially being interested in the new relationship (the bagel) but then feeling dissatisfied and realizing that something about the relationship (or the man's neediness) was not agreeable to her.

Example 3: A man dreamed of dropping his cell phone into a bucket of water where it broke in half. Once it was retrieved, half the phone's screen still worked. In waking life, he had recently blocked a woman who he had wasted his time talking to on social media for 3 years and then quickly met a new woman online. In this case, the cellphone that broke in half after being dropped in a bucket of water yet still worked may have reflected his regret about accidentally going too far with blocking the woman on social media. He may have felt his social connection to her was incomplete with being able to see what she does online (working half of the phone) while never being able to talk to her again (broken half of the phone).

Something seems to be incomplete or its inability to grow in your life. A symbol that encourages the dream to find wholeness on what was projected being half.
