Dreaming of Bones
Two traditional perspectives
These are symbolic interpretations from different traditions, not facts about your life or forecasts. Your associations may be different.
Artemidorus · Oneirocritica
Bones signify the estate, what lasts. Strong bones foretell property secured and a house that will outlive its troubles.
Broken or scattered bones predict loss to the household, an inheritance disputed, a foundation of wealth cracked.
Jungian · the collective unconscious
Bones are the structure under everything, the ancestral frame, what remains when the soft story is gone. Seeing clean, strong bones means the dreamer is finding what in them is permanent, the Self beneath the seasons.
Brittle or breaking bones signal that the foundation is being questioned, an old inherited structure, a family way of standing, may no longer hold your weight. That is frightening and it is also the beginning of your own frame.
a few quiet questions
A gentle guided reflection
Start wherever you like and skip anything that does not fit. Your notes stay in this page while it is open. They are not sent or saved automatically, and leave with the page when you close or reload it.
To keep your reflection, copy it and paste it into your dream journal (opens in a new tab). Saving there is your choice and requires an account. You can also paste it into your own notebook or notes app.
There is room for the whole story
Keep exploring, save a journal entry, or talk through your dream with Dylan.
