Salt preserves, purifies and protects: it is wisdom, hospitality and the taste of life, but also tears.
When the dream feels light
Salt sprinkled or shared speaks of protection, friendship and lasting wisdom.
When the dream feels dark
Spilled salt or too much salt points to tears, quarrels or bitterness.
Ask yourself
What do I need to protect and preserve?

The card of this dream
Four of Pentacles. Holding on tight: security, saving, control. A man sits clutching a pentacle against his chest, one balanced on his crown and two under his feet, the city behind him. It is security and saving, control and possessiveness, and the fear of loss.
