Heart
The heart is the universal symbol of love and emotional truth. In dreams, the heart can represent your emotional core, romantic love, courage (taking heart), or compassion. A beating heart suggests vitality and passion. A broken heart reflects emotional pain. A heart exposed or held in hands suggests vulnerability and openness. The 'heart knows' archetype connects to intuitive wisdom that transcends rational thought.
