To dream that you are grasping for something indicates that whatever you are grasping for is just out of your reach. You may be able to see what you desire, and it is very close, but still just beyond your reach. Examine the object you are grasping for and what that object represents to you for greater understanding about what is just out of your reach. To dream that you are grasping onto something indicates an unwillingness to let go of certain aspects of yourself, characteristics, beliefs, etc… examine what it is you’re grasping onto for greater understanding about what it is you’re not willing to let go of.
