String dream meaning is explained below using 17 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Garuda

Vision: Tying a knot: even if a certain matter looks very difficult right now, the confusion will be resolved soon. Cutting string: you will be painfully disappointed. Looking at a tan- gled-up ball of string: it’s time to bring order into a chaotic situation. Untangling a string: you will have to “grin and bear it” right now. Looking at a straight piece of string: the next few days will be uneventful.

Depth Psychology: A string could be a symbol of the “guidelines” that are giving direction to your life.

A string wrapped around a package: success in a certain project.

If the string is cut: the project will fail.

Interpretation 2 — Nancy Wagaman

String connecting or binding things together can represent: Relationships, bonds, or communication.

Feeling constricted or restrained (as in “feeling tied down”).

String coming unwound can represent: a situation you perceive to be coming undone or “falling apart”, the idea of getting to the bottom of a problem or figuring something out.

Winding string or tying things together with string can represent putting things in order, or getting things under control or organized (or at least trying to appear that way to others).

See Thread, Rope, Tying

Interpretation 6 — James R. Lewis and Evelyn Dorothy Oliver

Dreaming about string often refers to something that needs to be secured or mended, particularly a relationship or some other situation. There are, however, many idiomatic expressions containing the word “string,” and a dream could be alluding to one of these meanings: “purse strings,” “to string someone along,” “first string,” “no strings attached,” “pull some strings,” etc.
