Battery
Batteries, Dead battery, Low battery
Batteries hold stored power quietly until something draws on them. In a dream one can stand for your reserves: the energy, patience or goodwill you've built up and how fast it's being spent. A full battery is untapped potential, a reminder that you may be capable of more than today asks of you. A low-battery warning is a useful early signal, catching a dip before it becomes a stop. Swapping in fresh batteries points to a simple change of routine that would get a stalled thing moving again. Old batteries leaking in a drawer are like small resentments left too long, harmless until they start to corrode.
