Bones
Bones in dreams often point to what remains when everything else falls away — the essential structure beneath, or what feels stripped down and exposed. They can signal a sense of vulnerability, of being reduced to basics, though sometimes this bareness is clarity rather than loss.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for bones, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see your bones protruding from the flesh, denotes that treachery is working to ensnare you.
To see a pile of bones, famine and contaminating influences surround you.
