Wishing well
Wishing wells, Making a wish at a well, Coin in a well
A stone rim, a little roof and coins glinting far below: a wishing well is a place built for hope. Dreaming of one can bring a private hope to the surface, one you might hesitate to name in daylight. The coin you toss counts for less than the moment you decide what to ask for. Hearing a clear splash can mean your wish feels within reach, while silence from the dark may show you're unsure anyone, even you, is listening. A well choked with coins can hint that you've wished for the same thing many times and could now take a step toward it instead.
Dream variations
- Having no coin to throwYou feel you have nothing to offer in exchange for what you want. Often a little time or a sincere effort is enough.
- Someone else making a wishWhat someone close to you hopes for has caught your curiosity. Ask them; helping may be easier than you think.
- Reaching in to take a coin backA hope you once held no longer fits quite right. It's fine for a wish to change as you change.
- A wish coming true at the wellA hope is lining up with reality. Say yes when it shows up in an everyday form rather than a grand one.
