Dreaming About Bones
What it means
Bones in a dream often point to your foundation — the core strength, truth, or structure that holds when everything softer is stripped away.
In more detail
Strong bones can reflect resilience and a solid base; broken or fragile bones, a feeling that your support or security is under strain. Because bones last longest, the dream can also reach toward what is essential and enduring in you — what remains when the surface is gone.
