Dream interpretation

Dreaming of bones points to the basic frame of your life: the values and inner strength that everything else rests on. Bones show once the flesh and skin are gone, and in the same way this dream often comes at a time when you need to look past appearances and see the plain truth. The condition of the bones changes the meaning.

  • Broken bones

    One of the foundations of your life has become shaky, whether that is your self-confidence, your financial security or the footing of a relationship.

  • Strong, healthy bones

    You have the resilience inside you to handle a hard situation.

  • Digging up old bones

    This points to an event or a feeling from the past that was never settled. You may have managed to forget it, but it was never fully erased.

  • A skeleton

    More than a fear of death, a skeleton expresses the awareness that life is short. At such moments the mind wants to drop every mask for a while and see things as they really are.

In the end, a dream of bones says one thing: even when everything on the surface changes, you can stand up again as long as the frame inside you holds.
