Dreams A–Z

A wooden cask: a sealed, aging container that holds liquid, memory, and time—sometimes oozing, sometimes intact.

A fortress of rooms, towers and gates that holds history, thresholds and a protected inner keep — equal parts shelter and barrier.

A feline visitor representing curiosity, independence, and a soft boundary between waking choice and private instinct.

A cauldron in a dream points to inner alchemy — a container where emotions, intentions and changes are brewed, tested and transformed.

An ancient evergreen presence: steady, resin-scented, a pillar of shelter and long growth.

A ceiling in a dream points to limits above you: protection, authority overhead, hidden ceilings on ambition, or the near upper edge of your inner world.

A crisp, green stalk: nourishing, humble, full of fibers and quiet vitality—utility and refreshment in plain form.

A cool, dim under-space representing foundations, stored material, hidden memories and the unconscious base of the self.

A deep, resonant string instrument symbolizing slowed, embodied expression, emotional depth, and a cultivated inner voice.

A clear, cerulean-blue window opening onto water or sky — a framed threshold between inner space and a vast, luminous beyond.

A chain in a dream speaks to links between parts of your life — restraint and connection, habit and protection. It can mean being bound to someone or something, or feeling reliably held in place.

A chair in a dream often stands for a place of rest, authority, invitation to stay or sit with a part of yourself. It marks where you belong or where you are asked to take a role.

A cup or vessel that holds liquid—symbol of receptivity, inner nourishment, ceremony and an invitation to feel.

A brittle, white or pastel marking substance that creates temporary lines, labels, or drawings — often linked to teaching, play, and impermanence.

A wide, deep gap in the landscape of the dream that marks a boundary between where you are and where you must go; it holds fear, depth, and the possibility of crossing.

A cheek in dreams points to touch, closeness, visible feeling and the edge between public face and private sensation.

A symbol of nourishment, comfort and value; points to what is preserved, ripened, or left to decay — both materially and emotionally.

A sleek, fast predator symbolizing speed, focused action, graceful power and underlying vulnerability.

A child in a dream points to vulnerability, beginnings, play, inner creativity and unmet needs — it can be literal or the dreamer’s inner child speaking.

A composite beast—part lion, part goat, part serpent—appearing as a hybrid image of strength, contradiction, and wild imagination.

A vertical conduit of the hearth: release valve between interior life and the outside world; can signal warmth and safety or blockage and suppressed energy.

A hand tool for carving and removing excess—symbolizes precision, patient work, and the slow revelation of form.

A symbol of pleasure, comfort, desire and small luxury — often carrying memory, guilt, and nourishment all at once.

A symbolic forge where the dreamer is enclosed in a chrysalis-like chamber and transformed by inner heat; emergence promises new form and agency.
