The dream of holding a traffic light pole symbolizes your sense of responsibility and control in your waking life. The American style of the pole suggests that you may be feeling pressure from societal or cultural expectations. The act of holding the pole for someone else represents your willingness to support and assist others. The tarmac being placed around the pole may represent a new project or situation in your life that you are helping to build or maintain. The yellow plastic surrounding the lights could symbolize caution or hesitation in this new endeavor. The crumbling tarmac and sinkhole may indicate a fear of failure or loss of control in this situation. Your need to hold onto the pole again suggests a desire to maintain stability and control. This dream may be a reflection of your current responsibilities and the pressure you feel to keep everything in order. It may also be a reminder to trust in your abilities and let go of any fears or doubts.
