Die Basisdeutung von Seil
A rope in a dream is the dictionary's image of what ties. A rope as a lifeline is the dictionary's image of help arriving. A rope as restraint is the inverse — something binding you you have not chosen freely. A rope between two people is the image of a connection you have established that holds up under strain.
Where you often see it. A rope used to pull someone up. A rope around something held. A rope that ties two objects. The dream uses the rope for what ties — connection, restraint, or rescue depending on use.
What it is not. A rope is not always restraint. The dictionary reads it as multi-purpose binding, of which restraint is one use.
Related in the dictionary. Read rope with chain, rope-knot, and any scene of connection.
