Dreaming of a Laboratory

laboratory, chemistry, experiment, lab · mostly negative

A laboratory suggests energy poured into clever but unprofitable schemes.

What happens in the dream

  • You are in a laboratory: you're wasting great energy on fruitless ventures when something more practical would succeed
  • Still the alchemist: wealth will prove a myth, and the person you love won't be entirely sincere
  • You fancy yourself an alchemist trying to make gold: fascinating, far- reaching projects, but you won't reach the peak of your ambitions

How you felt

  • Excitement: the dream may reflect a love of experimenting and new ideas
  • Frustration: you may feel your efforts aren't paying off

Ask yourself

  • Am I scattering my energy across too many ideas?
  • Which project needs to be made more concrete?
