- harvested, in straw men, in stacks: a symbol of completed work and often even satisfaction.
- individual straws: a clear phallic symbol.
- prickly (e.g. in a straw mattress): symbolizes intensified sexuality in the subconscious and the threat that this sexuality overshadows emotions and rational thinking.
- sleeping on straw or a straw mattress (especially repeatedly or regularly): this image expresses the dreamer's fall to the instinctual level of experience.
- a straw roof: symbolizes intensified sexuality in the subconscious and the threat that this sexuality overshadows emotions and rational thinking.
