Shoulders in a dream
Shoulders in a dream are read as strength and support: they show what you carry and whom you can lean on.
In folk belief shoulders in a dream speak of the duties you carry and of the people who stand by you. Broad shoulders are read as strength and reliability, and a hand on your shoulder as support arriving at the right moment. Old dream books say this is a dream of hardworking people, those who hold many things together. The message is soothing: it is believed you need not carry the load alone and that there is someone to hold it for you.
