Traditional reading
A big, solid boulder signifies an unshakable foundation and a dependable patron. Sitting on or hugging a boulder meant your position growing firm, and a boulder placed in front of your house was read as lasting peace for the family.
Through the heart
You may want stability, or on the contrary, feel a problem that's completely stuck and won't budge. Whether the boulder felt comforting or stifling matters.

Lucky dream Read as a dream announcing good things
Traditional readings lean toward this being a lucky dream, a sign of something coming in: good news, money or a welcome connection. If the mood of the dream was heavy or frightening, though, pay attention to that feeling first. Treat a lucky dream less as "fortune will arrive on its own" and more as "things go well if you move".
