Secrets, Keeping a secret, Telling a secret

Whether you were keeping one, hearing one or watching one come out, a dream secret comes down to what's said and what's held back. Carrying a secret can feel like extra weight in your pocket: not heavy, just always there. Being told a secret often shows that someone relies on your discretion, or that you'd like to be let in on something. A secret spilling out may stir up worry about being exposed, or a sense that it has grown too big to hold. The kind of secret matters, since a happy surprise and a hidden worry feel very different.
