The core meaning
What does this dream mean?
This dream may reflect abundance, emotional overflow, or a responsibility exceeding its container. Its most useful interpretation depends on the emotion, the action, and what the image means in your own life; it is not a prediction or a fixed universal code.
The symbol alone is only one part of the dream. Its behaviour, condition, location, your reaction and what happened immediately before and after it can change the interpretation. Your own association is more useful than a universal prediction.
