Meaning of dreaming of reaching for something:

If you saw yourself reaching for something that is out of range, it means you won’t be getting something that you’ve been trying for in waking life. You may already know this in waking hours, but you  still held out hope for getting it. Now that your brain has created this dream to pass the message to you, its time to pay heed to this. Another perspective would be to change the method of approach. Since the target is out of arm’s reach, look for alternative ways to achieve your goal.
