Dreaming of Joy

joy, gladness, happiness · positive, with one exception

Joy foretells harmony and an end to fear, unless it tips into ecstasy.

What happens in the dream

  • Joy and festivity: a good sign if you hope to marry, and fun if you love company
  • Feeling joy: harmony among friends
  • If you're sad or fearful: an end to heaviness and fear
  • Ecstatic joy: pain and trouble, the one dark note

How you felt

  • Fulfilment: the dream often reflects a need to notice what's going well
  • A little wariness: fear that happiness won't last

Ask yourself

  • What makes me happy right now?
  • Do I let myself savour my joy?
