Dreaming of an Auction
auction, auctioneer, bidding, sale · mixed
Auctions carry opposite readings: bright prospects and plenty on one side, loss of property and friends on the other.
What happens in the dream
- Hearing the auctioneer calling out lots: bright prospects and fair dealings
- An auction in general: a good sign
- Buying at an auction: tight margins in business, but plenty at home
- A feeling of regret in the dream: be careful with your business affairs
- Walking past one without going in: within a few years you'll have all you reasonably want
- Attending an auction: another reading sees a heavy loss of friends and property
- Buying: in that same reading, a loss of property
How you felt
- Excitement: the dream may reflect a taste for risk or opportunity
- Apprehension: perhaps a fear of losing what you value
Ask yourself
- What am I willing to bid, and for what?
- Is there something I'm afraid I'll have to give up?
