Dreaming of Crawling

crawl, crawling, creep, slither · mostly negative, with one happy exception

Crawling in a dream foretells humiliation and missed chances, unless you crawl on a roof.

What happens in the dream

  • You crawl on the roof of a house: a good omen, especially in love, signalling marriage
  • You crawl and hurt your hand: humiliating tasks will be placed on you
  • You crawl over rough ground and stones: you have not made good use of your chances
  • You crawl in mud with others: slack business, lost credit and reproach from friends
  • You crawl on the floor: a bad sign; if you are careless, you may lose your partner's respect

How you felt

  • Humiliation: the dream often reflects a sense of having to lower yourself
  • Perseverance: you may be moving slowly but surely

Ask yourself

  • Where do I feel belittled?
  • What opportunity have I let slip?
