Well in a dream
A well in a dream is regarded in folk tradition as a sign of deep feelings, hidden knowledge and a wish fulfilled.
In folk lore the well is the source of life for a whole household, so in a dream it is read as inner wealth. A well full of clear water means good fortune, harmony and a wish coming true. If it was deep and dark, it is believed you carry feelings you have yet to put into words. A dry well is not a bad sign, but a reminder to refill your own strength with rest. Old folk say: whoever drinks from a well in a dream will long remember a kindness.

Drawing water is read as effort that pays off. As many buckets as you pulled up, people say, that many good things you will earn by yourself.
Dreaming of a dried-up well
A dried-up well means you have given a great deal to others and it is your turn to think of yourself. Strength is believed to return quickly once you pause.
