Dreaming of Crutches

crutches, walker, wheelchair · mostly negative, with one happy exception

Crutches in a dream speak of dependence and infirmity, but breaking them signals recovery.

What happens in the dream

  • You walk on crutches: you will rely heavily on others for support and advancement; another reading says your love will leave you
  • You only see crutches: some infirmity will weigh on you
  • You break your crutches: you will recover from illness, the one happy omen
  • If you are in a relationship: doubts about your partner's faithfulness
  • Others on crutches: disappointing results from your work, or misfortune for a friend

How you felt

  • Dependence: the dream often reflects a feeling of not standing on your own
  • A need for support: you may find it hard to ask for help

Ask yourself

  • What or whom am I leaning on too much?
  • What do I need to regain my independence?
