Stone

Stones — hard, numberless, underfoot — often touch perplexities and failures, with a rough pathway and little vexations in walking among pebbles. The dream may ask where obstacles strew the road you're trying to travel, and whether the stony ground beneath you is a stretch you can pick across or a sign of harder going for a while.

What the old dream-books say

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
