Dreaming of Oysters

oysters, seafood, shellfish · mixed

Oysters speak of money and pleasure: eating them is a good sign to some, a sign of excess to others.

What happens in the dream

  • You deal in oysters: you won't be shy about winning a sweetheart or a fortune
  • You see oysters: comfortable circumstances and many children
  • You rake them out of the water: money coming in
  • You open plump oysters for others: you will have plenty of cash
  • You eat oysters: in some traditions a very good omen, in others money trouble and a chase after cheap thrills

How you felt

  • Appetite or desire: the dream may reflect a wish to treat yourself
  • Inner tug-of-war: you may be torn between instant pleasure and caution

Ask yourself

  • What am I indulging in, and at what cost?
  • Do I share what I have freely?
