Screws point to tedious tasks needing patience and thrift; a small screw promises success.

What happens in the dream

  • A small screw: success in everything you take on
  • You see screws: tedious tasks, grumpy companions, and a need to be thrifty and careful
  • A large bed screw: trouble in love

How you felt

  • Patience: the dream often reflects painstaking work under way
  • Pressure: it may echo a sense of being squeezed

Ask yourself

  • What task needs patience right now?
  • Am I tightening the screws too much, on myself or others?
