A cord in a dream represents a bond between people. This can be a positive bond, in which each person supports and strengthens the other, or it can be a negative bond, in which one person is overly dependent on the other or is restricted or smothered by the other. The cord in your dream can be the umbilical cord.
If you dream about a cord, it can be a reminder that you have a tie or a connection with someone or something. You may have a duty toward or a responsibility for someone.
A dream that you are tying up something with a cord can mean that you want to create more order in your life.
A silver cord in a dream represents the connection between the body and the spirit, or soul.
