Dreaming of a Farewell

farewell, goodbye, send-off · mostly negative

Saying goodbye in a dream is not a good sign: it is said to bring painful news.

What happens in the dream

  • You say goodbye without sadness: you will soon find comfort elsewhere
  • You say or hear a farewell: unwelcome news of absent friends
  • You say goodbye to a lover: their indifference toward you

How you felt

  • Sadness: the dream often accompanies a separation, real or feared
  • Relief: it may express a wish to close a chapter

Ask yourself

  • Is there someone I am drifting away from?
  • What chapter am I ready to close?
