Purple Bones in dreams

Structure that holds you up — what is durable when everything else is in motion.

Purple colour places the symbol between hot and cool — a reading that has both calm and intensity at once. The dream often uses purple for symbols that do not fit the usual categories cleanly. Take the reading more seriously than you would otherwise; the colour is asking you to.

Bones in a dream are the dictionary's image of structural durability. A bone broken is the image of a piece of your structural integrity that has been damaged — usually a value, sometimes a real-life injury the dream is processing.

Clean strong bones in the dream are the dictionary's quiet positive: the underlying structure of your life is sound, whatever the surface looks like.

Where you often see it. Clean bones in a museum-light. A broken bone you can feel without pain. Bones held in the hands of an elder figure. The dream uses bones for the structural durability of who you are — what holds when everything else is in motion.

What it is not. Bones are not death-by-default. The dictionary reads them as durable architecture, not as ending.

Related in the dictionary. Read bones with skeleton contexts, scar, and any image of structural injury or repair.
