Well
Depth, and what you draw from it
What it often means
The well in dreams is one of the oldest symbols of interiority — the shaft that goes down into the earth, into the unconscious, into what is cool and dark and very old. What you draw up from a well says something about what your inner depths are offering.
When it tends to appear
- When inner resources are what is needed
- When tapping into something deeper than surface thinking
- When intuition or deep memory is rising
Sit with these questions
- 1
What are you drawing from within yourself right now?
- 2
Is the well deep and clear — or has it run dry?
- 3
What have you been drawing from others that you might find in your own depth?
