Dreaming of Dice

dice, craps, die · mixed

Dice give mixed omens: playing yourself brings luck, but merely seeing them warns of bad speculation.

What happens in the dream

  • You play dice, backgammon or draughts: much good in love, marriage and business
  • You see your sweetheart throwing dice: they may not deserve your trust
  • You see dice: unlucky speculation, worry, and a risk of contagious illness

How you felt

  • A taste for risk: the dream may reflect a decision you're leaving to chance
  • Uncertainty: perhaps a sense that you can't control how things turn out

Ask yourself

  • Am I betting on something uncertain?
  • What am I leaving to chance that I could actually choose?
