What does this mean?
Sentiment reflects the emotional tone associated with a dream symbol. It helps you understand how that symbol made you feel within the context of your dream.
Ask: What felt unsafe or out of control?
Ask: What part is helpful, and what part is threatening?
Ask: What's working for me here — and how can I reinforce it?
