Dreaming of a Carnival
carnival · mixed
A carnival promises unusual fun, but masks and grotesque figures signal discord and disappointment.
What happens in the dream
- Taking part in a carnival: some unusual pleasure or recreation
- A masked carnival, or one full of grotesque or clownish figures: discord at home, unsatisfying business and unrequited love
How you felt
- A wish to let go: the dream often mirrors a need for fun and freedom
- Unease about appearances: it may reflect a sense that people are wearing masks
Ask yourself
- What kind of celebration or silliness do I need?
- Who around me seems to be wearing a mask?
