Dreaming of Losing Your Wits
losing your wits · mostly negative, with one happy exception
Losing your head in a dream mostly foretells disagreements and humiliation, but sometimes an odd kind of popularity.
What happens in the dream
- Going out of your mind and making a public spectacle: a long life, public favour and profit, the only happy reading
- Losing your own wits: you'll feel humiliated and low when your plans fall through
- Seeing people behaving foolishly: disagreements and losses
How you felt
- Shame: the dream often reflects a fear of looking ridiculous
- A wish to let go: you might want to care less about appearances
Ask yourself
- What am I afraid of looking like?
- Where would I like to allow myself a little madness?
