shackles

It is unfair to dream that you are shackled and your shoulders will carry burdens that you should not bear; but if you succeed in breaking free of the shackles, you will free yourself from unpleasant careers and commitments.
When you see shackles in your dream, those who are jealous of you will slander you and trap you with cunning tricks.
Dreaming of others being shackled indicates that those people are out of luck.
The original version of the Duke of Zhou interprets his dream:
Dream of shackles and handcuffs, fierce. When you dream about this when you travel, you must be prepared; when you dream about this, you must guard against constraints. 'Dream Lin Xuan Jie'
