Sleeping Jellyfish in dreams

A jellyfish in a dream is the dictionary's image of a feeling that does not have a clear shape but can still hurt. The dream tends to appear when you have been around an emotional atmosphere — at home, at work, in a friendship — that you cannot quite point at and that is still affecting you.

Where you often see it. A jellyfish drifting in clear water. A jellyfish at the edge of a beach. The dream uses the jellyfish for a formless feeling that can still sting — diffuse emotion with a real edge.

What it is not. A jellyfish is not always vagueness. The dictionary reads it as feeling without shape that still has consequence.
