Egg
Potential in its most perfect container
What it often means
The egg in dreams is possibility before it has become anything — full of life, but not yet expressed. It is also fragile. Dreams of eggs often appear when something new is gestating that is not yet ready to be announced, examined, or hurried.
When it tends to appear
- When something new is incubating and not yet ready to hatch
- When potential is present but needs time and warmth
- When fragility and new beginnings are both present

- 3
What would you lose if you cracked it open too early?
