Dead Pillow in dreams
Where the head rests at night — the support that holds your thinking between days.
How dead changes the reading
Dead in the dream means the symbol's energy is no longer in active circulation in your life. The reading is not necessarily grim — most often it is the dream noting that something you had been carrying has run its full course and you can stop carrying it.
The base reading of Pillow
A pillow in a dream is the dream's image of the support your mind has during the hours it is not directing itself. The pillow holds the head when nothing else does; the dream uses it as a measure of how well-supported your interior life is. A clean, ordinary pillow is the dream telling you the rest is real and recoverable. A flat, soaked, or missing pillow is the dream noting that the place your mind goes at night is no longer holding you up — sleep is not doing its work, or the support of a particular person, room, or routine has been withdrawn.
