Dreaming of an Anchor

anchor, harbour, mooring · mixed

An anchor in a dream speaks of both steadiness and departure, of joy in love and of separations.

What happens in the dream

  • You see an anchor: great assurance and certain joys
  • If you are a sailor and the sea is calm: a favorable sign
  • In business: success is far off and needs care
  • For others: parting from friends, a change of home, travel abroad
  • In love: unexpected success, though sweethearts who see one may soon quarrel

How you felt

  • A need for stability: the dream may reflect a wish to drop anchor somewhere
  • Feeling stuck: it may express a sense of being held back

Ask yourself

  • What gives me stability?
  • What is keeping me in port?
