What does pillar mean in a dream?
In scientific dream interpretation, the pillar is a semantic symbol reflecting a state of affect. A pillar is vertical, motionless, rooted to the spot. The image points to emotional paralysis — the dreamer is struck rigid, standing frozen like a post, unable to move, act, or respond adequately because a powerful emotion has taken hold.
