Secret
Secrets in dreams often point to what we're withholding from ourselves—a truth not yet ready to be spoken, or a fear that someone else might speak first. The dream may ask: what would shift if this hidden thing were brought into the light, and is concealment still serving you?
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 secret, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Fontaine, 1862
If a young girl dreams that a friend has intrusted her with an important secret, it is a sign that the friend will become her enemy: if her lover tells her a secret, they will surely quarrel within a week; if she dreams of disclosing a secret to a friend, she will be much vexed at some scandal that is afloat respecting her.
