Dreaming of Influence

influence, connections, power, sway · mixed

Influence in a dream gets you nowhere if you beg for it, but brings luck when you hold it.

What happens in the dream

  • Being in an influential position yourself: your prospects brighten
  • Seeking a position through other people's influence: your wishes won't materialize
  • Seeing friends in high places: congenial company and a life free of vexation

How you felt

  • Ambition: the dream often reflects wanting more say over decisions
  • A sense of dependence: fear of having to rely on other people's goodwill

Ask yourself

  • Am I waiting for others to open doors for me?
  • Where do I already have more influence than I think?
