Joy
A signal worth following
What it often means
Pure joy in a dream is rarely random. It is a signal — your unconscious pointing at what is alive in you and asking that you make more room for it.
When it tends to appear
- When something has been opening in your life
- When permission to feel good has been quietly returning
- After hard passages
