Belly button in a dream
Folk tradition reads a belly button in a dream as the bond with home, mother and the roots one is always glad to return to.
In folk belief the belly button is a sign of origin and of the first bond with family, so dream books read it as a longing for home and your own people. Such a dream often comes when you are away somewhere or have not heard from your parents in a while. The old folks also say it stands for the center, the thing your world turns around. The dream gently asks what truly matters to you and reminds you that roots are not forgotten, wherever a person may be.
