Dreaming of a Picnic

picnic, barbecue, lunch outdoors, outing · mostly positive, with one exception

A picnic promises success and real enjoyment, unless a storm interferes.

What happens in the dream

  • You go on a picnic: success and real enjoyment
  • If you are young: unmixed happiness
  • A storm or some upset spoils the picnic: a sure profit or pleasure in love or business is put on hold
  • Another reading: someone frivolous will fall for you, or court you out of vanity

How you felt

  • Lightness: the dream may reflect a need for simple pleasures and fresh air
  • Fear of mishaps: worry that a good time will be ruined

Ask yourself

  • When did I last allow myself a simple, joyful moment?
  • Do I let small upsets spoil my enjoyment?
