Cocoanut

A coconut — sweet within, hard and hidden without — often touches the gap between an inviting surface and what's really inside. The dream may ask where your expectations might be more brittle than they feel, and whether someone offering warm friendship is quietly encroaching on what's yours.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
