Crystal

Crystal — brilliant, transparent, and easily shattered — often touches a fragile clarity that warns of coming depression in your relations or affairs. The dream may ask what looks dazzling but feels precarious, where someone you've held in high regard may no longer deserve it, and what storm is gathering behind the gleam.

Miller 1901

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted
