What Does Dreaming of a Cuttlebone Mean?
Traditional Interpretation
In the tradition of Ibn Sirin and al-Nabulsi, a bone drawn from the sea can indicate lawful provision earned with toil and a hidden inheritance; because the cuttlefish is a creature that conceals itself, this bone may signify the coming to light of a good long kept covered, or of a gain that has ripened through patience.
Psychological View
In modern psychology, the cuttlebone may represent the solid core within a self that appears soft and defenseless; the dream can point to the person's need to recognize the resilience they carry beneath their tendency to hide themselves, and the lasting essence left behind by past experiences.
