Dreaming of a Detective

detective, investigator, private eye, sleuth · mixed, depending on your conscience

Being trailed by a detective bodes well if you're innocent, but badly if you feel guilty.

What happens in the dream

  • A detective follows you though you're innocent: fortune and honor draw closer every day
  • You feel guilty: your reputation is at stake and friends may turn away

How you felt

  • Feeling watched: the dream may reflect a fear of being judged
  • Guilt: perhaps something you're afraid will come to light

Ask yourself

  • Do I feel I have something to hide?
  • Whose judgment am I afraid of?
