Frustration in a dream is symbolic of pain and discomfort coming from within and without. Additionally, it might also reflect doubts and preoccupations with anxieties surrounding waking life events.
There are many different emotions that we experience everyday, ranging from immense joy and happiness to overwhelming frustrations, sadness and despair. The purpose of these emotions is to keep us awake. Some feel they need these emotions in order to stay productive and on top of their game, while others feel they need them to confront their anxieties or the source of the pain that disturbs their becoming.
Frustration in a dream is not necessarily all bad if you are able to reframe the unconscious narrative to areas that need your conscious attention rather than you avoiding them.
The idea that one should pursue their ambitions without any undue sense of failure or loss stems from their pursuit of a good life and own personal values. However, this perspective can often lead people down paths that aren’t satisfying and may in turn lead to dreams of frustration from themselves and others around them, leads people on futile quests for satisfaction of separate interests that lack common purpose or meaning in life. To beat the frustration whenever is appears in your sleep, you must accept that anything great took its time. In other words, life is a marathon and not a sprint.
