Dreaming of Incest

incest, taboo · very negative

The old books read it as an omen of falling from respectability and losing money.

What happens in the dream

  • Incestuous acts: you'll fall from an honourable position and lose money in business

How you felt

  • Disgust or shame: this disturbing dream, more common than people think, is rarely about desire; it often reflects family ties that are too tight or confused
  • Anxiety: a fear of crossing a line or losing others' respect

Ask yourself

  • Are there roles or boundaries in my family that feel blurred?
  • What am I afraid of being ashamed of?
