Dreaming of a Labyrinth

labyrinth, maze, tangle, warren · mostly negative, with one happy exception

A labyrinth foretells tangled situations and tension, though a green labyrinth promises unexpected happiness.

What happens in the dream

  • A maze of railway lines: long, tedious journeys with interesting encounters but no financial gain
  • A labyrinth: complicated, baffling business affairs and a strained home life
  • A labyrinth of green vines and timber: unexpected happiness will grow out of what looked like loss, the one happy omen
  • A labyrinth at night or in darkness: a painful but passing stretch of illness and trouble

How you felt

  • Confusion: the dream often reflects a sense of going round in circles
  • Impatience: you may be looking for a way out of a stuck situation

Ask yourself

  • Where do I feel I'm going round in circles?
  • What if what looks like a dead end hides a way out?
