Thread This is one of the most ancient symbols of humanity. The thread represents the essential connection on the spiritual, social, biological planes, etc. Because of this, you can interpret the thread as the chain of circumstances that happen in your life, making up your destiny. So dreaming of thread that doesn’t end predicts health and many years of life. On the contrary, if it is broken, it announces illness or physical problems. The same interpretation is applicable to your emotional relationships or job. Threads of noble metals, such as gold or silver, predict success earned thanks to intelligence and subtlety. [1]
A woman dreaming about thorns is afraid of venereal disease. Looking at thorns: trouble in the love department. Getting pricked by a thorn: if you are a young girl it means fear of sexual contact.
If you are an adult, a friendship might come to an end. Falling into a bush that has thorns: you arc getting involved in a confusing situation—getting out of it will be difficult. Wearing a wreath of thorns on your head: you may be involved in much emotional hurt.
