Dreaming of an Engagement

engagement, betrothal, engagement ring, proposal · mostly negative

A dream of an engagement is about commitments, in love or in business, with mostly disappointing omens.

What happens in the dream

  • You're engaged, if you're young and single: you won't be as admired as you hope
  • A business engagement: dullness and worries at work
  • You break off an engagement: a hasty, unwise move in an important matter, followed by disappointment

How you felt

  • Apprehension: the dream may reflect doubts about a commitment
  • Impatience: you may be tempted to decide too quickly

Ask yourself

  • Am I committing to something for the right reasons?
  • Is there a decision I'm about to rush?
