Dreaming of a Nun
nun, nuns · negative
A nun mostly signals staying single, separation or discontent.
What happens in the dream
- You are religious and dream of nuns: worldly pleasures will interfere with your spiritual life
- A dead nun: despair over loved ones' unfaithfulness, and dwindling fortune
- You throw off the habit: longing for worldly pleasure will pull you from your duties
- You see a sober-looking nun: staying single; if you speak to her, you will remain alone
- A man dreams of a nun: he will suspect his sweetheart of being untrue and perhaps leave her
- If you are married: widowhood or separation
- You are a nun yourself: discontent with your present situation
How you felt
- A need to withdraw: the dream often reflects a wish for calm and reflection
- Renunciation: it may show you are denying yourself something you care about
Ask yourself
- What am I giving up, and why?
- Do I need some silence right now?
