Dreaming of a Dowry
dowry, bride price, marriage portion, trousseau · mixed
Receiving a dowry in a dream fulfills your hopes; being denied one points to hardship.
What happens in the dream
- You fail to receive a dowry: hard times and a cold world to make your living in
- You receive it: your current hopes will be fulfilled
How you felt
- A question of worth: the dream often reflects what you feel you bring to, or expect from, a union
- Insecurity: perhaps a fear of not having enough to get started
Ask yourself
- What am I expecting to receive from others?
- Do I feel I bring enough to my relationships?
