Bones
What remains under everything
What it often means
Bones in dreams symbolise core structure — the essential, ancient, irreducible parts of you. They appear when you are being asked to consider what remains when surface concerns are stripped away.
When it tends to appear
- During essential life questions
- When values are being clarified
- During grief or after loss
Sit with these questions
- 1
What in your life is structural rather than decorative?
- 2
What must remain even after everything else is laid down?
- 3
What ancestral or essential strength are you tapping into?
