Promise
A commitment given to another — a future act named in advance and made answerable.
A promise in a dream is the dream's image of a future act named in advance and made answerable to the person you gave it to. A promise is not a prediction; the promised one has been given the right to ask for it. The dream brings the promise when something in your life — a commitment to a child, to a colleague, to yourself — is approaching the time when the act will be required. A promise kept on time is the dream affirming the chain between word and act. A promise quietly let go is the dream noting that the chain has been broken in private, and the person you promised is the only one not yet told.
