Dreaming of Perfume
perfume, cologne, fragrance, scent · mostly positive, with some shadows
Breathing in perfume promises happy moments, but spilling it or overdoing it points to letdowns.
What happens in the dream
- You breathe in perfume: happy events
- You perfume your clothes: you'll seek and win admiration
- Perfume overpowers you: too much joy will cloud your judgment
- You break a perfume bottle: your dearest wishes will go wrong just as they seem about to succeed
- You distil perfume: very pleasant work and company
- You perfume your bath: ecstatic moments; perfume received as a gift, fascinating but risky pleasures
- You spill perfume: you'll lose something that gives you pleasure
How you felt
- Sensual pleasure: the dream may reflect a longing for beauty and allure
- Fragility: a fear that happiness will evaporate
Ask yourself
- What gives me pleasure right now?
- Am I afraid something lovely won't last?
