To dream about jewels suggests there is an aspect of yourself that you hold in high regard.

This could be a character trait, accomplishment or perhaps it’s a physical part of yourself that you admire greatly.

If you had tight hold of the jewels, you may feel this chrished thing will never escape your grasp because it is part of your very being.

Perhaps other people even rely on you for this because it is a steadfast part of your personality.

On the other hand if the jewel slipped from your hand, there is danger in losing the very thing you deem as most important to you right now.

Jewels are also indicative of power. Have you been entrusted with a new level of power in your professional life? The dream could be telling you to use it wisely and responsibly if you are tempted to take advantage of this new position.

Consider the colour of the jewels for additional clarity.

The power related to jewels might also refer to willpower- perhaps you have started a new habit that has required a significant change in mindset. If so, you might be feeling positive about how determined you have been to reach your goal.

Could the dream be telling you to focus more? This is likely if you didn’t take good care of the jewels in your dream.

If you held them with so much force it hurt your hands, perhaps you are being too strict on yourself and need to allow for some leniency in your new regime.

If someone else was wearing earmuffs in your dream, then you may feel like you’re not being heard by those at home or at work. Why don’t others listen to you when you need them to? Could it be what you are taking about or the way you are communicating with them? Could changing either of these encourage them to listen to you? If you were buying earmuffs in your sleep state then you are deliberately being ignorant to something or someone during your waking hours. Is this proving beneficial or is it delaying the inevitable? Earmuffs are also associated with childhood- so maybe you need to have more fun during your waking hours or spend more time with someone who brings out your childish side.
