Georg Fink Interpretation:
A ball of wool or yarn in a dream represents a convoluted real-life situation that is almost impossible to untangle. Dreaming about rolling up wool or yarn or another twine indicates that it will take a long time for you to accomplish something. Hopelessly tangled-up yarn or wool points to jumbled thinking or ideas that can’t be realized. (See also “Knot” and “Labyrinth.”)
