STONES

Dream Meaning

Stones in dreams carry the patient, immovable weight of the earth itself, and when they appear in your sleep, they are almost always speaking about burdens — the ones you carry, the ones others have placed on you, or the ones you have hurled outward in moments of frustration and anger. To throw stones is a cathartic dream act, the psyche discharging accumulated resentment that has had no other outlet; notice who or what you threw them at, for that target holds important information about where your anger truly lives.

To be struck by stones in a dream often reflects guilt — the sense of deserving punishment for something, or the felt experience of others' judgment landing on you with bruising force. Stones do not yield easily, and neither, perhaps, do the difficulties they represent; but they also endure, and so, the dream suggests, will you.
