Dream about splinters

Splinters are the small grievances that we carry between us, the sharp little things said or done that we do not name. These small cuts in the life of a family fester when we look away, for what we do not name becomes a bitterness that sits at the table with us. We find that these small hurts can make a person turn inward, away from the warmth of the fire and the company of those they love.

A hidden grudge often lives in the silence of a room, and it is a thing that can fray the ties of a family without anyone seeing the cause. When you allow these little sharp edges to remain, you risk a life where the closeness of your kin is dampened by an unspoken weight. The elders say that a heart becomes hard when it nurtures many small pains. You find a peace in the house when the small things are brought into the light, child, and the air is cleared for all. May your work be careful as you heal what has been pricked.

When you are pulling out a splinter, you are finally ridding yourself of a grievance that has long troubled your peace. This dream shows that you have reached for the source of an irritation so that you may finally walk with ease among your people.
