Weaver
A maker of cloth on a loom — the patient worker who turns thread into a single useful surface.
A weaver in a dream is the dream's image of the patient worker who turns separate threads into a single useful surface. The weaver works one row at a time; the cloth grows by hours of repetition. The dream brings the weaver when something in your life — a long marriage, a family kept together by daily small acts, a body of work — is being held together by a person whose actual contribution is invisible inside the result. A weaver at a working loom is the dream affirming the long patient making. A weaver whose hands have gone stiff with the loom standing still is the dream noting that the maker themselves needs care, and the cloth that depended on them will be the next thing to suffer.
