Purple Diamond in dreams
What has held up under pressure — clarity and hardness both.
How purple changes the reading
The base reading of Diamond
A diamond in a dream is the dictionary's image of what has held up under pressure. The diamond's value is precisely that it survives compression with its structure intact. The dream often appears when you have been recognising — in yourself, in a relationship, in a piece of work — something that has lasted exactly because it was tested.
Where you often see it. A diamond found in an ordinary setting. A diamond that turns out to be glass. The dream uses the diamond for what has held up under pressure — clarity and hardness both.
What it is not. A diamond is not always valuable in the dream's register. The dictionary often reads it as the dreamer's tested quality.
