Dreaming of a Lottery
lottery, jackpot, lotto · mostly negative
A lottery points to risky ventures and worrying windfalls more than real success.
What happens in the dream
- Holding the winning number: a speculative gain that will bring much anxiety
- Others winning: parties and amusements with friends
- Losing: you will fall prey to scheming people, and your affairs will sink
- More broadly: unhelpful business friendships and fleeting romances
- Following a draw keenly: a worthless venture and an ill-timed journey
How you felt
- A longing for luck: the dream may reflect a wish for a stroke of fortune to fix things
- Uncertainty: it may express a feeling that your fate is left to chance
Ask yourself
- What am I waiting for chance to do instead of doing it myself?
- Which risk am I tempted to take?
