Does this friend lead or join you in dark things? Things you know wherein you're not in the best of intents?
Here's my take...
The getting stuck there is indicative of feeling trapped in darkness, something in your life that's not right and you know it. The confusion of the friend is indicating you might be the leader, tho not intentionally or could be the friend is simply joining you and doesn't know what they are doing is or isn't wrong. This could also be your hidden desires that you don't think you can tell your friend even though they already have an inkling at least, but you think this friend won't understand. You want out of something in your life that's making you very uncomfortable or even putting you in danger, and you want to feel safe because you may not have that right now, but you have no idea how to get the control to get there, because you aren't the driver.
The takeaway:
You can get the control you need and face your fears head-on. Walk from the darkness you know you're in and into the safety of the light.
