Jewels, gold or precious stones show how you are exploring what is important/valuable to you. Sometimes this type of dream reveals issues that you are protecting. For example, you may be protecting a precious jewel or hiding it from discovery. In this case, the dream shows defense mechanisms or unresolved issues that you have hidden away. The dream allows you to see how you have given something value (and protection) - when the issue really needs to be processed/released. Explore the surrounding symbolism to understand what it relates to: house/idea, car/motivation, garden/expression, road/goals. In some cases - the jewel represents self value and should be protected.
