Dreaming of a Chain
chain, fetters, links, shackles · mixed
A chain is about ties: gold or as jewelry it signals a marriage; as fetters, unfair burdens you can break free of.
What happens in the dream
- A gold chain: a wedding; being given one, a marriage soon
- Chains, necklaces and jewelry: marriage if you are single, purchases and riches if you have a family
- If you are in business: you'll be prevented from doing something you particularly want
- Being bound in chains: unfair burdens are about to land on you; breaking them frees you from an unpleasant obligation
- Others in chains: bad luck for them
- Seeing chains: slander and the schemes of envious people
How you felt
- Being held back: the dream often mirrors a tie that restrains you
- A wish to belong: it may also reflect a desire to commit
Ask yourself
- Which ties comfort me, and which hold me back?
- Which obligation would I like to break free of?
