Temple of the head
The soft area at the side of the head between brow and ear — a vulnerable point where the pulse can be felt.
The temple of the head in a dream is the dream's image of a vulnerable point in the structure of the face, the soft area where the pulse can be felt directly. The temple is not heavily protected; it is thin bone over a sensitive interior. The dream brings the temple when something in your life — an exposed thinking spot, a place where pressure shows up first, a small location where stress becomes visible — is currently the place that registers the conditions of the head. A temple touched gently in a moment of tenderness is the dream affirming the honest contact at a soft place. A temple throbbing visibly under a long strain is the dream noting that the pressure has found the place that cannot hide it.
