Smooth Chain in dreams
A strong connection — sometimes wanted, sometimes restraining.
How smooth changes the reading
Smooth texture adds ease — the symbol's surface is in good order, the friction is low. The reading is more positive than the base; whatever the symbol stands for is well-handled at the moment.
The base reading of Chain
A chain in a dream is the dictionary's image of a strong connection. The reading depends on whether the chain is wanted: a chain on a door is protection; a chain on your wrist is the dictionary's image of a tie you no longer want.
Where you often see it. A chain that links two objects. A chain around a wrist. The dream uses the chain for a strong connection — sometimes wanted, sometimes restraining.
What it is not. A chain is not always restraint. The dictionary reads it as connection in its sturdy form.
Related in the dictionary. Read chain with rope (the softer cousin), ring (the closed circle), and any scene of binding.
