Dreaming of Chastisement
chastise, discipline, punish · mixed
Being punished signals carelessness; punishing someone points to an ill- tempered partner, though children turn out well regardless.
What happens in the dream
- As a parent, correcting your children: you'll be lenient, but bring them up honorably
- Being chastised: you haven't handled your affairs prudently
- Chastising someone else: an ill-tempered partner in business or marriage
How you felt
- Guilt: the dream often mirrors something you blame yourself for
- Anger: it may reflect exasperation with someone
Ask yourself
- Am I blaming myself for something?
- Is my strictness with others fair?
