Glass

Glass represents the invisible but powerful feeling or social barriers we use in everyday life. These include caution, emotional coldness, disinterest, fear of being hurt or pride. By a subtle attitude of talking down to someone we can shut them out of close contact.

Frosted or smoked glass: Barriers or social techniques you use to gain privacy. It can also suggest keeping parts of yourself hidden, or an obscure or unclear view of a situation. Occasionally it relates to death – the very real yet obscure experience we all face.

Breaking glass: What barrier are you breaking through, what restraint? It might also mean shattered emotions.

Breaking something made of glass: Breaking a relationship; shattering an illusion; broken hearted.

Glasshouse: Something in your experience that protects fragile aspects of your growth, but something that is itself fragile. A subtle but real barrier between the energy of your life and the aspects of you that need to grow.

Stepping on broken glass: Glass may not be very visible, so may represent hidden dangers; being careless about direction in life or present situation; or if it is being done without heed to injury, represents self inflicted pain.
