Dream symbol · P
Puddle
Small obstacles, temporary inconveniences, or a reflection of details you are missing.
Dream interpretation
A puddle is a small-scale model of an emotional state. If you step in it, it is a sign of a small misunderstanding or social awkwardness. But if you see the reflection of the sky or the sun in the puddle, your dream tells you that even in the most ordinary and muddy situations, there is beauty and higher meaning. In folk tradition, it warns you to watch out for small mistakes that could 'muddy' your reputation. It is a reminder to watch your step metaphorically.
