Leak

Leaking, Leaking roof, Dripping water

A leak is a small, steady loss, the kind that's easy to ignore until the stain spreads. In dreams the leak is often something slipping out that you meant to keep in: energy draining away to small demands, private news getting around, or feelings showing when you'd rather they didn't. Pots and buckets catching the drips are a familiar sign of getting by: you're managing, just not solving. A burst pipe is a sudden mess that forces a pause and a proper fix. A leak in a boat or a car feels more urgent: something that gets you from place to place needs attention soon.
