Dreaming of a Crowd

crowd, audience, mob, throng · mostly positive, unless marred or in mourning

A crowd in a dream is usually good, unless the gathering is spoiled or too many wear black.

What happens in the dream

  • A large, well-dressed crowd at an event: pleasant times with friends
  • A crowd in the street: brisk trade and an air of prosperity
  • You try to make yourself heard in a crowd: you will push your interests ahead of everyone else's
  • A crowd dressed in black or drab colours: a bad sign
  • Something spoils the gathering: distress, lost friendships and family disputes
  • A crowd in a church: a death may affect you, or some slight unpleasantness
  • A hypnotist in the crowd fails to hypnotize you: a threat hangs over you that only you can avert

How you felt

  • A need to belong: the dream may reflect a wish to be part of something larger
  • Anonymity: you may feel lost in the crowd

Ask yourself

  • Do I feel seen by the people around me?
  • Where do I need to make my voice heard?
