Blanket

Blankets, Duvet, Quilt

Pulling a blanket up to your chin is one of the oldest comforts there is, and in dreams a blanket often carries a sense of shelter. It can point to a wish for warmth and protection, or the care someone gives you just by being near. A handmade quilt may bring family and tradition into the picture, stitched from pieces of other people's lives. A blanket spread on the grass turns any spot into a picnic, a cue to slow down outdoors. A soft baby blanket stirs tenderness, toward a little one or toward yourself.

Dream variations

• A blanket that's too smallThe help you have doesn't cover everything. Ask for a bit more, or tuck it in where it counts.
• A family quiltOdds and ends from different years have come together into something useful. Your mixed experience counts for more than it seems.
• Hiding under the coversYou'd like a little more time before the day starts asking things of you. Take a few quiet minutes, then get up and meet it.
