Dreaming of an Island

island, atoll, isle, islet · mixed

A green island promises happiness and good journeys, but a deserted one points to isolation.

What happens in the dream

  • Being on an island in a clear stream: pleasant journeys and lucky ventures
  • If you're single: a happy marriage
  • Seeing an island: comfort after much effort to meet your obligations
  • People on an island: a struggle to rise in prominent circles
  • A barren island: happiness and money lost through excess
  • Being on a deserted island: behaviour that will put off your friends and drive them away

How you felt

  • A need for solitude: the dream often reflects a wish to withdraw for a while
  • Isolation: fear of being cut off from others

Ask yourself

  • Do I need time alone, or do I feel alone?
  • What separates me from others right now?
