Clay
Clay — soft, formless, heavy with the earth — often touches the raw and unshaped: potential not yet worked, or footing that won't quite hold. The dream may ask whether you're sinking into something dense and yielding, and where your efforts feel as though they're being pressed into the wrong shape.
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for clay, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of clay, denotes isolation of interest and probable insolvency. To dig in a clay bank, foretells you will submit to extraordinary demands of enemies. If you dig in an ash bank and find clay, unfortunate surprises will combat progressive enterprises or new work. Your efforts are likely to be misdirected after this dream.
Women will find this dream unfavorable in love, social and business states, and misrepresentations will overwhelm them.
