Irritating situations in which the tension is nearly audible. Amber has a natural ability to pick up static when rubbed.

Health concerns. Because of its capacity to trap insects and plant life, the ancients believed this stone could likewise entrap sickness. Look to see what the amber contains for more symbolism.

An alternative solar emblem, believed by the Greeks to have been formed in the setting sun’s tears.

An alternative fire emblem. Germans called this a burning stone because it catches fire (like any resin).

In dream oracles, an omen of forthcoming voyages.

Feeling cornered or captured by circumstances over which you have no control, like the insect in amber resin.

My Dream Interpretation

by myjellybean
To see amber in your dream suggests that something or someone in your life that is rigid and inflexible. Sometimes this dream points to something in your life that was once lively, but has now ceased to exist, such as an old activity, relationship, or even a way of seeing the world. Maybe your old way of looking at things no longer fits the way things are now. Alternately, a dream of amber may foretell that something in your past will prove to be extremely important to your future.

Islamic Dream Interpretation

by Ibn Seerin
(Musk, Spermaceti) To perfume or anoint oneself with amber in a dream means increase in one’s earnings through a rich acquaintance or earning money through a notable person or through a man of knowledge. Seeing a person mixing amber in a dream denotes a praiseworthy person, an architect or a builder. Anointing oneself with amber in a dream signifies hearing praises. Amber in a dream also denotes valuable properties, farms, fruit gardens, or a fellowship of knowledge and wisdom.

The fragrance of amber in a dream means a storm, wind, a breeze, or it could represent benefits coming from the direction one recognizes in the dream.

If one sees himself burning amber in a dream, it means that he is indulging in religious innovations, corruption, losing face, placing something in the wrong place, dealing with tainted money, bribing a government official, lobbying for a selfish cause and supporting a political campaign.
