Resin

Interpretation

Resin oozes from wounded trees, carrying both pain and protective strength. Your dream acknowledges worries, bereavement, or hardship—but also hints that enduring the stickiness can lead to the goal you seek. Stay patient as you gently unbind yourself from sorrow.

Healing often begins where life feels the most adhesive.

Common Meanings

• Handling resin that clings to you: Facing ongoing grief, feeling stuck, or needing time to process loss before moving forward
• Burning resin for fragrance: Releasing pain through ritual, honoring memories, or transforming hurt into sacred remembrance
• Becoming unstuck after struggle: Reaching desired goals after torment, appreciating the resilience forged in challenge, or celebrating incremental relief

Cultural Context

Resins like frankincense and myrrh have soothed spirits in ceremonies for millennia. Dreaming of resin underscores the dual nature of suffering and sanctification.
