OK. The rest of you are SO wrong! Isn't it obvious? Let's hear from Dr Jung.....
The key is that Rube's friend had a birdy Rook on a string. Avian rooks are renowned for being sociable at roosting time, if you know what I mean, in their rookeries. Obviously, Rube's mate is into orgies, and the string only goes to show that his/her desires have connotations. Pigeons, on the other hand, are sociable but it a much more dirty way than Rooks (anything you want to share, Ruby?), but seeing as Ruby is associated with a recently fledged pigeon we can rest assured that this is a recent character trait, and not something well practised. The whole scene was set in a 'park' where people were there to look after the 'birds' - it's all adding up, isn't it? The only stumbling block is the lorry - until you realise it was a Juggernaut. Then the phrase 'went like a Juggernaut' immediately springs to mind and everything is illuminated. Clearly, Ruby needs to get together with her friend and his/her many friends in a group liaison and go for it like the clappers.
Of course, the whole interpretation hinges on whether that was an avian rook or a chess piece. Look now at how Dr Jung interprets these dream symbols with the misinformation that it was chess-led.
The key is that Rube's friend had a chess Rook on a string. Chess players inhabit a brilliant but solitary world played out in their heads, and Rooks only move in 2 directions. Obviously, Rube's mate is a genius but very inhibited and shy, and the string only goes to show that his/her feelings are always reined in and never let free. Pigeons, on the other hand, are stupid gregarious creatures which make mess everywhere (anything you want to share, Ruby?), but seeing as Ruby is associated with a recently fledged pigeon we can rest assured that she is only just beginning to feel like she is inadequate in the company of her friend. The whole scene was set in a 'park' where people were there to look after the 'birds' - In New York, people play chess in the park without a care for the birds, so perhaps Ruby feels she is being let down by her chess-playing friend. The only stumbling block is the lorry - until you realise it was a Juggernaut. Juggernaut is close to "Jug-or-nought". Clearly, Ruby needs to split company with her closed-hand over-brainy friend, preferably by getting blotto on a few jugs of beer - or else it will all come to naught.
Helpful, Rubes?

That was quite quite brilliant Tommo and all true. All of it. The avian one and the rook one. I must choose my friends more carefully.
