Nursery
A room in the house prepared for a young child — a small dedicated space organised around the early years.
A nursery in a dream is the dream's image of a small dedicated space organised around a young child's early years. The nursery is not a guest room; the nursery is a particular room kept ready for a particular phase of life that the household has decided to receive. The dream brings the nursery when something in your life — an actual coming child, a creative beginning that needs its own space, a recently re-discovered childlike part of yourself — is being given a kept room. A nursery prepared with care, the cot built and the soft light tested, is the dream affirming the readiness for the new. A nursery kept long after the child grew out of it, the room frozen in the early-years shape, is the dream noting that the household has not accepted the next phase, and the room is being preserved as a refusal.
