Dreaming of an Inquest

inquest, coroner, inquiry, investigation · mixed

The readings clash: an inquest foretells either losses and disappointing friendships, or prosperity.

What happens in the dream

  • Attending a coroner's inquest: you'll soon squander your fortune, or by another reading you'll prosper
  • The inquest is held on you: you'll come into money through the death of a wealthy person
  • The inquest is held on a friend: a good sign for you
  • An inquest: disappointment in your friendships

How you felt

  • A need to understand: the dream often reflects a question still unanswered
  • Vague guilt: a sense of being examined or judged

Ask yourself

  • What am I still trying to get to the bottom of?
  • Do I feel watched or assessed right now?
