Potter
A maker of pots at the wheel — the worker who turns wet clay into a vessel by patient hand.
A potter in a dream is the dream's image of the worker who turns wet clay into a vessel by patient hand and a turning wheel. The potter does not impose the shape; the shape is found between the hand and the spinning clay. The dream brings the potter when something in your life — a piece of personal formation, a delicate project, a self being shaped by careful attention — is currently being worked at the level where rough material is becoming a usable form. A pot lifted whole off the wheel is the dream affirming the made vessel. A pot collapsed mid-spin, the clay slumping sideways, is the dream noting that the shape was being lifted past what the moisture and the hand could hold, and the form has fallen back into the lump.
