Dreaming of an Anvil

anvil · mostly positive, with one shadow

An anvil in a dream points to rewarding work, if you are willing to put in the effort.

What happens in the dream

  • Hot iron and flying sparks: pleasing work, an abundant harvest
  • A cold anvil: small favors from those in power; success is within reach, but takes hard work
  • A broken anvil: through neglect you have thrown away chances that won't come back

How you felt

  • Determination: the dream may reflect a wish to forge your own future
  • Pressure: it may express a sense of being hammered by trials

Ask yourself

  • What am I forging right now?
  • What opportunity have I let go cold?
