Dreaming of Dust

dust, grime · mostly negative, but repairable

Being covered in dust points to minor harm from others' failures, which a little good sense can repair.

What happens in the dream

  • You carefully brush the dust off: you'll recover the loss
  • If you're in a relationship: your partner may leave you for a new flame
  • Dust covers you: your business will suffer slightly from others' failures
  • Dust swirls so thick it chokes you: someone is plotting to harm you or use you

How you felt

  • Weariness: the dream often reflects quietly accumulating worries
  • A need for clarity: perhaps a wish to clean house in your life

Ask yourself

  • What am I letting pile up?
  • Is someone trying to take advantage of me?
