Dreaming of an Inn

inn, pub · mostly negative, with one happy exception

An inn is mostly an unfavourable omen, unless it's roomy and well kept.

What happens in the dream

  • A roomy, well-furnished inn: prosperity and pleasure, the one happy reading
  • If you're ill: a grim sign for your recovery
  • A run-down, badly kept inn: little success, sad tasks or unhappy journeys
  • If you're in love: your partner's unfaithfulness
  • Staying at an inn: poverty and failed undertakings
  • If you're in trade: lost custom and dishonest staff

How you felt

  • A sense of being in transit: the dream often reflects a transition where you don't feel at home
  • Insecurity: fear of lacking a real anchor

Ask yourself

  • Where do I feel I'm only passing through?
  • What would make me feel truly at home?
