Dreaming of a Thimble

A thimble is about duty to others and protection: a new one brings contentment, a lost one hardship.

What happens in the dream

  • You receive or buy a new thimble: new connections that bring contentment
  • An open thimble turns out to be closed: trouble, which friends will help you escape
  • You use a thimble: you'll have many others to please besides yourself, or your own way to make
  • An old or broken thimble: you may act unwisely in an important matter
  • You lose one: poverty and trouble

How you felt
