Lake

A still mirror of self

What it often means

Lakes in dreams reflect the inner self at rest — calm or troubled, clear or murky. They often appear when introspection is being invited.

When it tends to appear

  • When inner reflection has been postponed
  • During quiet seasons
  • When clarity comes from stillness

  1. 1

    How was the surface — calm or rippled?

  2. 2

    What did you see, looking in?

  3. 3

    What would you sit beside this lake with — alone?
