Dreaming of a Heart

heart, chest, heartbeat, palpitations · mostly negative, with happy exceptions

A heart is mostly a bad sign, unless you see a human heart or an animal's heart.

What happens in the dream

  • You see a human heart: you are sincerely loved, the happy sign
  • You see an animal's heart: you'll overcome enemies and earn everyone's respect
  • You eat a chicken heart: odd urges will drive you to take on hard projects to get ahead
  • Your heart aches or feels like it's smothering you: business trouble or betrayal; a mistake of your own will cost you if not corrected
  • You see your own heart: illness and failing energy
  • You lose your heart: illness; if partnered, infidelity

How you felt

  • Anxiety: the dream often reflects an emotion that tightens your chest
  • A need for love: you may be wondering whether you are truly loved

Ask yourself

  • What is weighing on my heart right now?
  • Do I feel loved the way I need to be?
