the body, parts of self
Dreaming of heart
Read two ways. Let them disagree, the truth often sits between.
Artemidorus · Oneirocritica
Drawn up, it speaks of A sound, steady heart signifies health of body and constancy in the one nearest you, the spouse, the beloved, the oldest friend.
Drawn down, it warns of A heart in pain or laid open foretells illness, or trouble reaching the person closest to the dreamer's own life.
Jungian · the collective unconscious
Drawn up, it speaks of The heart is the feeling center, where eros lives. To see or hold the heart in a dream, warm, beating, is the feeling function coming back into the body after a season of thinking your way through everything.
Drawn down, it warns of A heart that is wounded, cold, or missing points to grief that was never given its hour. What was not mourned does not leave, it waits in the chest.

Keep it before it fades
Write the dream down in your journal and the cards will name its symbols for you, or have the whole dream read in full.
