When the dream feels light
A full cup promises love, abundance and emotional fulfilment.
When the dream feels dark

The card of this dream
Ace of Cups. The overflowing cup, new love, a heart opening. A hand emerges from a cloud holding an overflowing cup; a dove brings the host, and water falls in five streams into a pond of lotuses. It is the source of the heart: new love, emotional fulfillment, compassion and grace.
