Pearl in a dream
A pearl in a dream is read in folk tradition as rare value, wisdom and beauty that comes about through patience.
A pearl forms slowly, in the silence of a shell, so folk readings tie it to patience and to wisdom that comes with time. Whoever dreams of a pearl is believed to have something precious within or beside them that they have not yet fully noticed. Older dream books sometimes link pearls with tears, but this is read gently: as tears of joy and being moved by a kind word. A single pearl means a rare friend, a handful of pearls an abundance of lovely moments.
