Handful of berries
A small handful of wild berries — a free, seasonal gift gathered piece by piece.
A handful of berries in a dream is the dream's image of a free, seasonal gift gathered piece by piece. Berries are not staple food; they are small bright moments in the year when the land offers something delicate. The dream brings the handful when something in your life — a string of small joys, a season of received kindnesses, a set of brief encounters — is being noticed and kept. A handful of berries shared at the side of the path is the dream affirming the small gift. A handful crushed into stains in the pocket is the dream noting that the delicate gift has been carried wrong and what was bright is now only marking the cloth.
