Dream Dictionary

Traditional dream meanings rewritten in plain contemporary English from four public-domain dream books (Project Gutenberg), with a modern reading of the feelings involved and questions for reflection.

The tone runs from ●○○○○ (very negative omen) to ●●●●● (very positive). The omens come from old dream books: read them as cultural history, not prediction.

Dreaming of Abandonment

abandon, deserted, forsaken, left behind · ●●●●● mostly negative, with one happy exception

A dream of abandonment is mostly about the future: plans that are hard to build, or ties you fear losing.

What happens in the dream

• You leave a lover: an unexpected inheritance, the one happy sign
• You are abandoned: you struggle to make plans for the future
• You leave your house: a setback when you try your luck
• You abandon someone: troubles pile up around you
• You leave your sweetheart: lost valuables stay lost and friends turn away
• You abandon your children or your business: losses and quarrels through lack of calm
• An abandoned ship: a business failure, unless you make it to shore

How you felt

• Fear or sadness: the dream often reflects a worry about being left out
• Relief: it may express a wish to leave a burden or situation behind

Ask yourself

• Is there a relationship or project I feel slipping away?
• Am I the one who wants to walk away from something?

• You see an abbess: unpleasant tasks, and giving in to authority after a failed rebellion

How you felt

• Irritation or rebellion: the dream may reflect an authority that weighs on you

Dreaming of an Abbey

• You talk with a priest inside an abbey: true friends criticize an indiscretion
• A priest bars your way into an abbey: you are saved from ruin because rivals mistake your trouble for success
