Dreaming of an Idol

idol, false god, icon · mixed

Idols have two faces: celebrations and happy changes, or trivial things that hold back your rise.

What happens in the dream

  • Worshipping an idol yourself: parties, outings and pleasant trips; but also slow progress if you let petty things rule you
  • If you're ill: a quick recovery
  • Breaking idols: strong self-mastery and a rise nothing will stop
  • Seeing people worship an idol: a clear change for the better, or else serious differences with close friends
  • Denouncing idolatry: great distinction through your understanding of human nature

How you felt

  • Fascination: the dream may reflect an admiration that takes up a lot of room
  • A wish for freedom: you may want to shake off a dependence or an illusion

Ask yourself

  • What have I put on a pedestal?
  • What is distracting me from what matters?
