Dreaming of a Man

man, gentleman, guy, male · mixed, depending on his appearance

The man in the dream mirrors your fortunes: handsome and well built, he means prosperity; ugly or menacing, disappointment.

What happens in the dream

  • A handsome, well-built, supple man: a happy life, rich possessions and sometimes distinction
  • A man dressed in black: good luck; in white: a bad omen
  • A murdered man: long life
  • A misshapen or sour-faced man: disappointments, perplexities, or trouble from a supposed friend
  • Meeting a strange man: a vindictive enemy

How you felt

  • A need for strength or protection: the dream may reflect a reassuring figure
  • Wariness: it may express fear of someone threatening

Ask yourself

  • Which male figure matters in my life, and how?
  • What part of me does this man stand for?
