Dreaming of Cards
cards, solitaire · mostly positive, unless you play for stakes
Playing cards in a dream is mostly about love and marriage and hopes coming true, as long as you aren't playing for money.
What happens in the dream
- Holding many picture cards: a marriage that makes you rich and happy
- Hearts: fidelity, a cozy home and many children; diamonds: wealth, though possibly a sour-tempered partner
- If you are hoping for a job or running a business: you will succeed
- Playing cards for fun: long-held hopes come true, small troubles fade, and love goes well
- Playing for money: serious difficulties
- Losing: enemies; winning: you will clear your name, but only with trouble
- Your sweetheart playing cards: you'll have reason to question their intentions
- Clubs: money through marriage, but a demanding partner; spades: an unhappy match and a lonely life
How you felt
- The thrill of chance: the dream often mirrors a choice where the stakes are high
- A longing for love: it may reflect hope for a meeting or a commitment
Ask yourself
- What bet am I placing right now?
- Am I leaving too much of my love life to chance?
