Stone is permanence, endurance and what does not change. It can be a foundation, a burden or a hidden treasure. Precious stones are qualities of the soul.
When the dream feels light
A strong stone or a precious stone speaks of stability, value and lasting results.
When the dream feels dark
A heavy stone or one blocking the road points to a burden, a hard heart or an obstacle.
Ask yourself
What stands firm in my life, and what weighs on me?

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.
