Heart
Hearts, Heartbeat, Heart shape
Long before it was drawn on cards and candy boxes, the heart was where people kept love, courage and honesty. When a heart stands out in a dream, the subject is almost always your feelings. A glowing heart or a heart shape signals warmth, affection and openness. A cracked heart, or one made of stone, can mean you've been guarding yourself since you were hurt. Notice whose heart it was, because the dream may be about how you love, or how you'd like to be loved.
