Dough

Interpretation

Kneading dough points to inconveniences that stretch you. The sticky process reflects tasks you may find messy or time-consuming, yet they lead to sustenance if you stay patient. Watching dough rise suggests that your efforts will eventually feed you and those you love.

If the dough refuses to come together, examine where frustration or impatience is interrupting growth. Sometimes you need to rest the dough—step back and let time do its work.

Common Meanings
