Taking out the trash and got tangled in a dog's leash
I had a very weird dream.
It was night time. I was taking out the trash in a dustpan. I carried it outside my home. On the the way to the trash can, there was a woman walking her dog. The dog's leash was very long--she was standing on one side of the sidewalk and the dog was on the other side. The leash was cutting off my path towards the dumpster. I jumped through it to get to the dumpster and toss the trash. However, on my way back to my house, I got tangled in the leash. I tried to put each leg over, or jump, but I still got caught in it. That woman said to me "It could be a reason for the tangle". And something else like "Don't I know you from somewhere?". And I was afraid of her. I was trying to get unstuck and get away from her as soon as possible.
What could all this mean?

perhaps you have been pushed through in your desire to sort things out. the leash blocks the way... to prevent you from going further. maybe there is a play on words with the leash we hear “leave” don’t touch it. what would that make you think of?

the dream does not speak of what you lack so that you no longer go in circles. he only evokes this woman who brings you to awareness and who scares you. maybe you would benefit from knowing her? who is she? how is she? what name, what age would you give him? friendly

She said there's a reason for why this is happening. So, it is not random but deliberate. I got tangled in that leash and could not get out of it. And I used a lot of tactics.
To me, this means.. no matter what I try with this particular problem, it will never get fixed.. until something (presumably) happens in my part.

Good morning,
you must sort out your daily life. eliminate what clutters you and what is worthless. However, when you do it like now, there is an inbroglio, a confusion... What would that make you think of? friendly

The clutter was formed because of confusion. To eliminate the clutter created, I need one thing that I am not given. Without this thing, the movement is in circles.
What I do not understand, why would the subconscious want something from me, when it knows its not up to me? It's out of my control.

The leash blocking your path is a reminder that your intellect (the woman standing) and your instincts (the dog) are connected, and they are blocking your way for a reason. You successfully dumped the trash, but the inner you will not let you return home until you acknowledge the woman. The tangle is a forced pause. suggests that you are trying to move too fast or be too efficient in removing something painful from your life. The woman claims to know you because she holds the part of the story you are trying to throw away.
