Island
A self apart
What it often means
Islands in dreams suggest separateness — chosen or unchosen. They can be sanctuary or exile, depending on what you brought there and whether the boats still run.
When it tends to appear
- When you have been over-self-reliant
- During seasons of solitude
- When you are protecting yourself from a busy world

- 3
