Dreaming of an Affront

affront, offence, slight · negative

An affront in a dream is a bad sign: it points to tears and traps set by ill- wishers.

What happens in the dream

  • A young person is affronted: someone unfriendly exploits their naivety to compromise them or turn a friend against them
  • You suffer an affront: you will shed tears

How you felt

  • Wounded pride: the dream may reflect a humiliation you haven't processed
  • Wariness: it may express a sense of being exposed to others' schemes

Ask yourself

  • What slight is still sticking in my throat?
  • Am I protecting myself enough from people who mean harm?
