The dreamer finds themselves in an apartment building, surrounded by a wire fence that resembles a prison. This could symbolize feelings of being trapped or confined in their current situation. Across a chasm or trench lies another apartment building, representing a distant and unattainable goal or desire. The dreamer is fixated on a specific time, 9 AM and 5 PM, when Hobbes from Calvin and Hobbes appears in the courtyard of his apartment building to punt a ball over the fence. This could represent a playful and carefree aspect of the dreamer’s personality that they are trying to reach. However, despite their efforts, they are unable to catch the ball, which falls out of reach after hitting their fingertips. This could symbolize missed opportunities or a fear of failure. Overall, the dream may be reflecting the dreamer’s desire for something out of reach and their frustration with their inability to attain it.
