Seeing a bend in the road or in an object suggests a ‘kink’ in your current understanding about your direction and motivation. Associated in many dreams with an object you would hold in your hand (what is done to have your needs met) or something you would sit on (the ideas you rest upon) the crooked or bent object suggests this area that is not quite right and needs to be ‘straightened’ out. If the object bends and breaks, it shows how a necessary change can help you let go and move out of difficulty. Rickety or bent structures embody how the future is yet unbuilt and is a common setting in exploring work direction and what you are building. See Rickety Structures under Houses and Buildings .
