Dreaming of Labour
labour, toil, workers · mostly positive, with caveats
Seeing work done is mostly a good sign, pointing to health, profit and promising ventures, with a few warnings.
What happens in the dream
- Animals straining under heavy loads: you'll prosper, but be careful not to treat those who work for you unfairly
- People toiling: profitable work and robust health
- You are working yourself: a good outlook for any new venture, and good crops if you farm
- If you're in a relationship and see your partner at work: be wary of their intentions
- You are working very hard: a painful journey lies ahead unless you're careful
How you felt
- Satisfaction: the dream may reflect the pleasure of useful effort
- Exhaustion: you may be carrying too heavy a load
Ask yourself
- Does my work feed me or drain me?
- Do I treat the people who help me well?
