Dreaming of Something Hanging Above You
above, hanging, on top, overhead · mixed: danger or progress depending on the scene
Something hanging over your head is about threat or improvement, depending on whether it holds or falls.
What happens in the dream
- It falls near you but misses: a narrow escape from losing money
- It is firmly fixed: your situation improves after a threatened loss
- Something hangs above you, about to fall: danger
- It falls on you: ruin or sudden disappointment
How you felt
- Apprehension: the dream often reflects a worry hanging over you
- Hope: it may express a sense that things can hold firm
Ask yourself
- What threat do I feel hanging over me?
- Is what worries me really as fragile as I think?
