Gnome
Garden gnome, Gnomes, Little bearded man
Gnomes are small, bearded earth spirits from European folklore, said to guard treasure underground and know the secrets of rocks and roots. Today most people know them as garden gnomes, the cheerful figures in red hats standing among the flowers. In a dream, a gnome often points to hidden knowledge, practical wisdom and protecting what you've worked hard for. A garden gnome adds humor and a touch of kitsch, perhaps a nudge not to take yourself so seriously.
