Dreaming of Being Hanged
being hanged, hanging, noose · positive, by contrast, with one exception
This dream reads in reverse: being hanged points to wealth and distinction, but escaping brings bad luck.
What happens in the dream
- You are hanged: you'll become wealthy or distinguished
- You are about to be hanged, or see others hanged: success in your undertakings, or rising through marriage
- You dodge the law and escape the noose: disappointment and bad luck, the one bad sign
How you felt
- Anxiety: the dream often reflects a sense of being judged or condemned
- Surrender: you may feel at the mercy of a decision out of your hands
Ask yourself
- Who or what makes me feel judged?
- What am I running from instead of facing?
