Dreaming of Thatch

thatch, reed, straw roof · mostly negative, but recoverable

Thatch is about fragile shelter: sorrow and threats that well-directed effort can ward off.

What happens in the dream

  • You thatch a roof with flimsy material: sorrow and discomfort
  • Your thatched roof leaks: danger threatens, but you can avert it with effort

How you felt

  • Precariousness: fear your defences won't hold
  • Determination: the urge to fix things before it's too late

Ask yourself

  • Which part of my life needs firmer foundations?
  • Is there a leak I'm letting get worse?
