Elbow in a dream
An elbow in a dream is read as resourcefulness and support: folk wisdom says patience is how you reach your place.
In folk belief an elbow in a dream speaks of how you make your way through the crowd of life and whom you lean on as you go. Old dream books tie it to work, craft and neighborly closeness, because length was once measured by the elbow and friends sat elbow to elbow. The dream may also mean you need a little more room for yourself. The readings are cheerful and say you will get it without pushing, with a kind word.
