Straight spine
A spine held upright — the body's expression of self-possession through alignment.
A straight spine in a dream is the dream's image of self-possession expressed through alignment. The straight spine is not decoration; the straight spine is the body holding itself up against gravity without borrowing from a wall. The dream brings the straight spine when something in your life — a position taken in a meeting, a refusal to apologise for what you actually did, an unselfconscious public presence — is being supported by the inner posture of someone who is not collapsing inward. A straight spine carried into the room is the dream affirming the held position. A straight spine forced under pressure, with the curve visible despite the effort, is the dream noting that the position is being defended and the body is registering the cost.
