Wishbone
Wish bone, Pulling a wishbone, Lucky break
A small, fragile wishbone gets a starring role at the holiday table: it decides whose wish might come true. In a dream it mixes hope and chance, the longing for something you can't fully control. Pulling it with someone can reflect friendly rivalry, or two people wanting different things from the same situation. Holding on to an unbroken one shows you're keeping something hopeful in reserve for the right moment rather than spending it now.
Dream variations

- Getting the smaller pieceSomething you wished for didn't go your way this time. Remember it was half chance, not a verdict on you.
- A wishbone that won't snapYou and someone else are equally determined, and neither will give way. Stop and look for an answer that suits you both.
