Bones

Bone, Pile of bones, Dog bone

Strong and quiet, bones hold you upright without ever being seen, and they last long after everything else is gone. In dreams they often touch on the essentials: deep instincts, family history and the plain truth of a situation. Feeling something in your bones is about knowing without proof. Pulling a wishbone with someone shows a hope you're willing to leave partly to chance. A dog chewing on a bone stands for persistence, or a grievance you can't let go of.

Dream variations
