Many of us struggle to maintain a balance of control in our lives. Trying to control too much can be exhausting and dangerous to our mental health. In other cases, we may find ourselves at the mercy of the universe, unable to control any of the events that life has in store for us.
Perhaps this quote from the book A Doll’s House sums it up best: “It is an anxious, sometimes dangerous thing to be a doll. Dolls can’t choose; they can only be chosen; they cannot ‘do’; they can only be made by.” – Rumer Godden, A Doll’s House
Dreaming of trying to control a doll, or perhaps even being a doll that someone else is trying to control reflects your inner struggle to find a balance between assertiveness and passive behavior. If this theme applies to your dream, remember that while we can’t control everything, there are always things we can do each day that give us hope and allow us to at least take charge of maintaining a positive outlook no matter what circumstances we face. in front.

You may find it difficult to get your message across to someone else in your life.

Many times it can be helpful to explore one’s own chakras as well, focusing on healing the throat chakra to better communicate and express your true feelings to others.

In today’s modern world, we tend to associate dolls as something reserved only for young children, although it’s perfectly fine to love dolls even as an adult. If you had a happy childhood, the doll can symbolize memories of good times.
