Dreaming of ring
Read two ways. Let them disagree, the truth often sits between.
Artemidorus · Oneirocritica
Drawn up, it speaks of To receive a ring foretells a covenant, a marriage, a partnership, an office of trust, and a gold ring signals the favor of someone powerful.
Drawn down, it warns of A broken ring denotes a bond dissolving, and to give your ring away warns of authority passing out of your hands.
Jungian · the collective unconscious
Drawn up, it speaks of The ring is the circle of the Self, wholeness worn small on the hand. To be given one in a dream is a marriage inside you, two parts long separate agreeing to live as one.
Drawn down, it warns of A ring too tight, or one that will not come off, is a vow that has stopped fitting the person you've become. A lost ring is wholeness misplaced, usually through neglect rather than accident.
