Stable
Horse stable, Stables, Stall
Horses come home to a stable to rest, eat and be brushed down after a day's work. Dream stables often stand for the routines and shelter that keep your energy in good shape: a dependable rhythm and a place to recover. The word itself also means steady, and the dream may play on that, especially when you're longing for a more settled stretch. Mucking out stalls is humble, smelly work, yet it's the kind of upkeep everything else depends on. A stable door swinging open with the horses gone fits the old saying about shutting it too late.
