What are possible meanings for dreams of gems?
One way dreams create symbolism is through the use of related words. A gem can stand for anything that you treasure or value, something precious or special, such as a special relationship or talent. For example, your best friend is a “real gem.” You treasure the person. Or your remarkable ability to sing is more precious to you than anything else.
These ideas can connect far and wide, but begin with what you value most. The size of the gem, or expense, can be a measure of the value you place on what it symbolizes. See: Diamonds
The bigger the gem, generally, the bigger the association. For example, if you have an extravagant aunt and dream about her wearing a massive diamond, it can be a way of symbolizing your perception of her level of extravagance. She’s really extravagant.
Gems are associated with special events such as weddings and anniversaries. A gem in a dream can be a reminder of an upcoming event, or why you made a commitment, or your wishes for someone close to you. For example, you watch your child leave to start attending college and make a wish in your heart for a healthy and fulfilling life.
Specific types of gems have associations that dreams can use. For example, diamonds are associated with engagements and hardness. Emeralds are associated with natural beauty and love. Rubies are associated with passion. Jade is associated with money and growth. Color has associations with emotion, so a gem with a distinct color can symbolize an emotion. See: Colors

An odd dream of mine
My first awareness of the dream was that my husband and I were students. We were learning the skill to become imperceivable as we moved. Like, hold your breath and become invisible/undetectable for a few moments. In some sort of fantasy magic school. I read a lot of the 'kid goes to a magic school' genre, so that probably explains the setting.
The teacher had us arrange rocks/trinkets items in a circle, that we would use as focal points to travel forward while in the imperceivable state. She dumped out a pile of them. All sorts of gems and rocks and odd little items.
At first I chose a bunch of white/crystal items, but then I decided I wanted dark stones under them, but there weren't enough. I found a single flat stone carved like a small cat in the pile, and a chipped black rock,but needed more, so I got up from my seat and went looking. I placed a red rattlesnake(crotalus ruber, I should note that I am a snake breeder/owner, and often consider this species of rattlesnake to be an animal guide of mine, despite not having any in my collection. I often choose snakes to represent myself, and recently had used that species in a needlefelt representation of myself, if that's relevant) that must have been my pet as he was very tame, on my board while I looked for stones. I remember the silver clear things I chose being like quartz, a cotton ball, a smaller version of a clear crystal wing I saw in a youtube video when I was awake, something with white beads on it. And a bunch of less distinct items.
I remember feeling selfish and unreasonable in my quest to find the perfect stones. I ignored the teacher asking my nicely to hurry up while I searched behind me, too focused on my task to care about disappointing her, although I did try to hurry up. I got that hyper focus feeling I get like when I'm trying to finish typing something and someone is trying to talk to me, so I shut them out to focus for a minute. Meanwhile, my snake has gotten restless.
He starts moving around curiously, but I know he is just inquisitive and am not worried about it. The others are afraid. Chris is beside my seat, so I ask him to tail the snake for me.(pick it up by the tail and with a snake hook since it's venomous) while I get a bucket for it. I grab the bucket, but the snake has already bolted across the table.
The snake is going towards someone my dream self knows is the teacher's daughter and I'm worried it will bite her, but in her panicked flailing, she throws the snake, and it lands near Whiskey, my husband's beloved pet rabbit(he calls him his 5th child, they have a very close bond), who I didn't know was out hopping around like he often is at home, and it bites him on the top of the head in it's panic. I look on in horror..the snake bites him again and slithers away to safety. Whiskey starts convulsing and Chris starts running for his pet..he cradles Whiskey and we're both crying. My heart is breaking for Whiskey. I worry Chris will.want to kill the snake for hurting his baby, and tell him that the snake was just scared and lashing out, let's focus on Whiskey now.
I start running scenarios in my dream head about getting him to the vet asap and trying to figure out the odds on him surviving the bite and that's when I wake up.
I'm just curious what sort of message this seems to portray to you all?

Picnics and emeralds
My boyfriend(M), our friend (S), and I were hiking and swimming around a gorgeous lake. It was one of those stone basin lakes, surrounded by cliff faces, with crystal clear waters. We found a nice ledge to have a picnic and do some 420 activities. As we were enjoying ourselves, we noticed that we were sitting on an emerald deposit. We started searching and collected a few of our favorites. A particular glimmer caught my eye, and I climbed down to investigate. I soon realized the cliff face was unstable and called for M to help me. S came over and offered her hand while M just sat and observed. The rock she was leaning on for support came loose and the two of us toppled down towards the water about 20 feet below.
Here's where my dream became more scattered and lucid. We shifted ourselves so the Rock hit the water first, absorbing the impact, and allowing us to recover enough to swim ashore, where we discover a small cave entrance.
In fuzzier detail, I also remember grabbing the cliff ledge with S, and jumping from there into the water, swimming, cave etc.
Then there was a perspective shift. It was like we were watching a memory:
A young man entered the cave, carrying a map and wearing sort of ragged clothes from around the 1700s. He followed the winding path deeper and deeper, until it opened into an enormous cavern. Everything from the floor, up the walls, to the ceiling was an enormous gem of intense, fractured depth and beauty in all colors and facets. Just then, the floor began to rumble. It was understood that he had been discovered and he had to leave. He ran for the exit, but just a few feet from freedom, he was caught in a trap and forced to remain. (As a slave? Idk, wasn't clear) anyway. The end.

Burned Alive in My Dream Last Night
I'm not that big into dream interpretation, but I'm curious as to what people may get out of this.
​
A lot of the beginning details are a little fuzzy, but here's the most memorable bits. I had lent a friend (an acquaintance I hadn't talked to in at least a decade) a really nice watch. I don't remember why this watch was so prominent, but it was referenced and talked about a lot. It was a copper color and had some gems or rhinestones on it. Anyway, ordinary dream stuff happens and eventually this friend gives me a ride home. I'm walking up the steps to my mansion (thanks for making me feel small dream), and I realize I don't have said watch on me. I turn around and my friend is about to hand it back to me when my cul-de-sac gets firebombed. I spent the next 6 or so minutes slowly burning alive: first it's the most painful thing I've ever experienced, then just extremely uncomfortable, then I get used to the pain before I die. Eventually, I wake up in the 'afterlife', and it's just a 3 bedroom apartment. One of the occupants was (questionably) Jesus, and all I remember was that this long-haired guy was really chill and had a great skincare routine lol. I also have really long hair for what that's worth. That was really about it. I *think* I was back in the living world at some point. I remember revisiting my burned house and trying to salvage what was there, as well as desperately trying to find a new home with my dad. My dead sister may have also been involved, or at least the memory of her. I remember thinking of her when I woke up.
​
Anything here you feel that's interpretable? Or just some standard, wacky dream stuff?

Beautiful dream about a wig
I had a dream last night that I don't remember much of, except that I was sitting on the top bunk of a bunk bed and holding the longest, thickest, most beautiful wig I had ever seen. It was dark honey-blond, wavy, and very soft, with little gems woven into it. It was so long that it draped over the side of the bed and touched the floor even as I was holding it in my lap. I remember stroking it and spreading it over my body like a blanket. It was such a relaxing and peaceful dream that it made my day even before I woke up.

I need help interpretation of dream , i had this morning.
I visited a astrologer who told me not to have sex while wearing gem stones and after that i come home with a kid . I don't remember whose kid he was. When ,i came back home i heared some sound from the 1st floor of the house after that i can see that ghost had captured body of a lady i know . She is doing all sort of crazy things like rotating her neck 360 and all meanwhile this whole time i am seeing this from 1st floor. I took that kid's hand and ran outside the house.
