pearls and ring

BrightEye

I had a dream a few weeks ago in which I received three gifts from a friend: a delightful little object, which seemed entirely useless but which pleased me no end; a pearl necklace and pearl bracelets; a small golden ring with an amethyst.

The delightful object seemed to stand for the rapport we have. It made me happy and it made me laugh. The pearls made me uncomfortable because pearls are for brides, not friends. I felt that maybe the dream was telling me that I'm afraid of commitment, which is true in almost every area of my waking life. The ring though made me feel at peace. It fit on my little finger. Amethysts stand for peace, no? But I would have thought rings stand for commitment, too, but maybe not when they're worn on the wrong finger?

I'm still very mystified by this dream. Any thoughts?
