Dreaming of a Balloon

balloon, airship, blimp, hot-air balloon · very negative

A balloon foretells dashed hopes, pie-in-the-sky schemes and business setbacks.

What happens in the dream

  • More broadly: you'll take on visionary ventures that won't succeed
  • A balloon: blighted hopes and adversity; business of every kind will drop off
  • Going up in a balloon: an unlucky journey

How you felt

  • Exhilaration: the dream may reflect a longing to escape or rise above
  • Instability: perhaps a sense of drifting with no grip on events

Ask yourself

  • Which plan have I inflated beyond what's realistic?
  • What would help me keep my feet on the ground?
