Oracle

A figure who speaks for what cannot be asked directly — a person standing at the seam between the question and the answer.

An oracle in a dream is the dream's image of a figure standing at the seam between the question and the answer. The oracle does not argue; the oracle delivers, and the delivery is rarely what the questioner expected. The dream brings the oracle when something in your life — an unexpected insight from a child, a remark from a near-stranger, a piece of writing that read your situation without knowing you — has arrived as if from a voice authorised to answer. An oracle received with the right humility is the dream affirming the value of what was said. An oracle interrogated for clarification it will not give is the dream noting that the message arrived in its full form, and demanding it be reduced is going to result only in the questioner's frustration.
