Dreaming of a Ball

ball, gala, prom · mostly positive, with one dark exception

A ball is a very good sign when the party is lovely and lively, but turns dark if you feel ignored there.

What happens in the dream

  • A ball with elegant dancers moving to enchanting music: a very happy omen
  • Your partner vanishes and you can't find them: a marriage that may not last long
  • Dancing with someone at a ball: you'll marry that person
  • Playing ball or watching a game: money will arrive soon
  • The ball rolling about: that money will be delayed
  • Feeling gloomy and overlooked at a ball: a possible death in the family

How you felt

  • Joy: the dream may reflect a need for celebration and lightness
  • Loneliness in a crowd: perhaps a fear of going unnoticed

Ask yourself

  • In which circle do I want to shine?
  • Do I feel seen by the people who matter to me?
