Poet

Dream poets weave imagination—channel reverie into grounded expression.

Interpretation

A poet in dreams reminds you to balance fantasy with tangible action. You may revel in ideas yet resist implementation. Let inspiration guide you, but translate metaphors into plans that hold in daylight.

The best poems live both on the page and in practice.

Common Meanings

  • Being the poet: Embracing imagination, risking escapism, or acknowledging your storytelling gifts
