Thorns
Thorn, Thorny bush, Brambles
A thorn is tiny, but anyone who has grabbed a rosebush knows it gets your attention. In dreams, thorns stand for small obstacles and irritations: an annoying task, a prickly person or a rule that keeps snagging you. Walking through brambles suggests you're pushing through a tangled period and getting scratched along the way. Pulling out a thorn is a good sign, since you're removing something that has bothered you for a while. Thorns also protect, so a thorny hedge can mean you're keeping people at a safe distance.
