How black changes the reading
The base reading of Thorn
A thorn in a dream is the dictionary's image of the small sharp thing inside something otherwise soft. The dream often appears around relationships or situations in which getting close brings an inevitable cost — the rose has thorns. The dream is rarely warning you off; it is making sure you see the thorn before you reach for the flower.
Where you often see it. A thorn on a flower you reached for. A thorn embedded in skin. The dream uses the thorn for a small sharp thing inside a soft one — the cost of getting close.
What it is not. A thorn is not a sign you should not have reached. The dictionary reads it as the small cost the dream is naming.
