Explanation
Rabbi Low dreams that the townspeople are pleading with him for help, and their cries grow louder. He reaches toward them but cannot help because his arms pass through them; then their images turn into cruel faces. This shows that he is afraid for his townspeople, rather than simply afraid of symbols, Pearl’s rejection, or dreams themselves.
