Dreaming of Misfortune

misfortune, bad luck, calamity, mishap · positive

Dreaming of misfortune reads in reverse: it is a sign of luck and success.

What happens in the dream

  • Misfortune strikes you: luck and success
  • You lose money: you are about to gain some
  • Your house burns down: a successful venture
  • You are robbed: an inheritance or a valuable find

How you felt

  • Anxiety: the dream often stages vague fears that come out at night
  • A need for reassurance: it may show you are bracing for the worst to keep it at bay

Ask yourself

  • What disaster do I picture too often?
  • What reassures me when I'm afraid?
