Hay
Haystack, Hay bales, Hayride
Golden bales stacked in a field and the sweet smell of cut grass drying in the sun: hay is summer stored up for winter. Hay in a dream is about preparation, security and the reward of work done at the right time. The smell of freshly cut hay can carry you straight back to childhood summers, to long days outdoors and grown-ups busy in the fields. Rolling in a haystack or riding on a hay wagon recalls carefree country fun. Searching through hay may remind you of the needle in the haystack, a detail you're trying to find in a lot of clutter.
Dream variations
- Making hayYou're in a stretch of hot, tiring, worthwhile work. Pace yourself; the field is big, and there's shade at the edge of it.
- A hayrideYou're happy to sit back and let someone else choose the route for a while. Enjoy the bumps; the ride is the point.
- Wet or rotting hayYour reserves, like energy, goodwill or patience, may be lower than you assumed. Check what's left before you need it.
- Lying in the hayYou're longing for warm, unhurried time, alone or with someone close. Clear an afternoon and let it be lazy.
