Dreaming of Contempt

contempt, contempt of court, court, disdain · mixed

Contempt in a dream can, surprisingly, foretell esteem, unless it is deserved.

What happens in the dream

  • Others scorn you unjustly: you will win their highest regard and be prosperous and happy
  • You are held in contempt of court: you have committed an indiscretion, though the blame is undeserved
  • The contempt is deserved: you may be shut out of your business or social circle

How you felt

  • Shame: the dream often reflects a fear of rejection
  • A sense of injustice: you may feel misjudged

Ask yourself

  • Whose opinion is weighing on me right now?
  • Do I have something to reproach myself for, or is it unfair?
