There are many different types of minerals. Rocks and pencil lead are made of minerals, and even the street you walk on every day is made of minerals! Minerals can be very helpful too; you need minerals in your food to keep healthy. In dreams, therefore, minerals represent life’s essentials or the bare necessities.

Mineral oil connotes a soothing aspect or factor that eases rough aspects in your life. Mineral water illustrates what is essential in life; that which is basic. To dream of mines or mining represents your unconscious physical and mental activities.

If you are digging in the mine, this indicates that you are digging within your experiences, memories or deeper levels of consciousness to bring up the treasure and valuable resources buried within. A miner’s hat typifies light shed on ideas, concepts or perceptions. A mineshaft stands for heightened awareness, an inner knowing, whilst mining or digging for gold may suggest financial aspirations and goals.
