Dreaming of Mourning

mourning · mostly negative, with one happy exception

Wearing mourning mostly means bad luck and misunderstandings, though one tradition sees a wedding ahead.

What happens in the dream

  • You mourn a relative, or mingle with people dressed in black: a wedding in the family, or an invitation to one, the one happy sign
  • You wear mourning: bad luck and unhappiness
  • If you are in love: a misunderstanding and likely separation
  • Others wear mourning: trouble among friends, bringing dissatisfaction and loss

How you felt

  • Grief: the dream often reflects a loss, real or symbolic
  • The end of a chapter: it may show something is ending to make room for something else

Ask yourself

  • What am I in the process of leaving behind?
  • Have I given myself time to grieve it?
