Palm of the hand

The inner surface of the hand — the place where giving and receiving both happen.

The palm in a dream is the dream's image of the place where giving and receiving both happen on the same surface. Money is counted there, food is offered there, another person's hand is held there. The dream brings the palm when something in your life is at the exact moment of being either passed on or taken in. An open palm extended in offering is the dream affirming the honest gesture. A palm closed into a fist, with the offer still inside it, is the dream noting that the gesture was begun and the giving was, in the end, withheld.
