The dream may ask where your protections feel stripped back to the bone, and whether a hard, lean stretch is exposing how little stands between you and want, the very framework that should guard what's vital showing through.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for rib, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
