Ten Thousand Dream Dictionary

by Pamela Ball
1- In ordinary everyday life a pillow or cushion can offer support or comfort. So, in a dream, being conscious of a pillow may suggest such a need. Sometimes what the pillow is made of is important, and may have relevance in the interpretation of the dream.

For instance, a feather pillow would suggest gentle support, whereas a stone pillow would represent a degree of rigidity.

2- Sometimes, when the dreamer is going through a period of self-denial, he will deny himself any comfort symbolism and so his pillow may disappear.

To dream of a pillow fight indicates a mock conflict.

3- Spiritual comfort and ease are represented by the pillow.
