Dreaming of an Orator

orator, lecturer, speaker · mostly negative

An orator in a dream warns against flattery and against being won over by appearances.

What happens in the dream

  • Being swept up by an orator's eloquence: you'll listen to flattery to your own cost and help people who don't deserve it

How you felt

  • Fascination: the dream often reflects the pull of people who speak well
  • Self-doubt: it may mirror a fear of being too easily persuaded

Ask yourself

  • Am I won over by smooth talk?
