Milk

Original nourishment

What it often means

Milk in dreams symbolises early, original care — the kind that does not ask anything in return. It often appears during seasons of needing or offering basic, ungrudging nurture.

When it tends to appear

  • During tender care reflections
  • When inner-child needs are surfacing
  • When mothering — yours or another's — is being weighed

Sit with these questions

  1. 1

    Was there milk available?

  2. 2

    What basic nurture are you allowing yourself?

  3. 3

    Whom could you nurture without conditions?
