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.

Negative (red)
Tension: fear, urgency, conflict, shame, or boundaries being pushed.
Ask: What felt unsafe or out of control?
Mixed (orange)
Both sides: scary but meaningful, painful but healing, risky but exciting.
Ask: What part is helpful, and what part is threatening?
Positive (green)
Support: relief, clarity, connection, confidence, repair, forward momentum.
Ask: What's working for me here — and how can I reinforce it?

Context overrides the label. Your reaction in the dream matters more than the symbol "type".
