Doubt
A held uncertainty — the open question that refuses to close on either answer.
Doubt in a dream is the dream's image of an honest open question that refuses to close in the direction either party would prefer. Doubt is not weakness; it is the mind keeping an account that the evidence is not yet settled. The dream brings doubt when something in your life — a stated belief, a publicly held position, a personal commitment — is being asked, quietly, whether the support actually holds. Doubt held with steadiness is the dream telling you the honest examination is in progress. Doubt refused or rushed into a false conclusion is the dream noting that you closed the question early to keep the surface intact.
