Dreaming of an Anecdote
anecdote, joke, story, tale · mixed
Telling anecdotes in a dream points to a taste for fun over serious thought.
What happens in the dream
- You hear anecdotes: you will join a cheerful crowd of pleasure-seekers
- You tell an anecdote: you prefer merry company to intellect, and your affairs will be as unsteady as you are
How you felt
- Lightness: the dream may reflect a need for laughter and ease
- Scatteredness: it may express a sense of not being serious enough
Ask yourself
- Do I need more lightness, or more steadiness?
- What story do I want to tell?
