People's manners in the dream foretell how your affairs go: rude ones derail your plans, gracious ones carry them through.

What happens in the dream

  • People with gracious manners: an important matter will take a pleasant turn
  • Rude, awkward people annoying you: a journey and meeting a fool
  • Ill-mannered people: a plan will fail because of someone disagreeable

How you felt

  • A need for respect: the dream may reflect how you're being treated
  • Irritation: it may express someone who makes you uncomfortable

Ask yourself

  • How do I feel treated lately?
  • Does my own attitude help my plans?
