Clear spring

Fresh water coming out of the ground — the uphill end of a stream, the source that has not yet been used.

A clear spring in a dream is the dream's image of the uphill end of a stream, the source that has not yet been used. The spring is the beginning; everything downstream is what the spring has been turned into. The dream brings the spring when something in your life — an original inspiration, a first principle, a founding intention — is being asked to be remembered. A clear spring drunk from with respect is the dream affirming the return to the source. A clear spring trampled by livestock and made muddy is the dream noting that the source itself has been damaged by careless use, and what flows downstream from now on will carry the damage.
