Salt
Preservation, flavour, and what keeps things real
What it often means
Salt in dreams is one of the oldest preserving agents — it keeps things from decaying, brings out true flavour, and marks hospitality. In excess, it poisons. In dreams, salt often marks what is essential, what has been preserved from a former life, or what is being added that changes the taste of everything.
When it tends to appear
- When something essential or preserving is present
- When wisdom earned through experience is the theme
- When something is being added that changes the whole flavour of a situation
Sit with these questions
- 1
What wisdom have you preserved from past experience that is still seasoning your life?
- 2
What are you salting to protect — and is that preservation still needed?
- 3
Is there too much salt, making everything bitter, or just enough?
