Ball

Balls, Playing ball, Formal ball

A ball invites play: you throw it, it comes back, and a game begins. In dreams a ball is mostly about give and take: how ideas, favors and feelings pass between you and other people. Catching a ball cleanly shows you're prepared for whatever is thrown your way. One bouncing off out of reach may mean an opportunity is rolling away before you can grab it. The other kind of ball, a formal dance, carries a fairy-tale feeling that something wonderful could happen before the night is over.
