Dreaming of Pictures
pictures, drawings, images, paintings · mostly negative
Pictures mostly point to illusion and joy without profit, with one happy note in love.
What happens in the dream
- Your face appears and fades in a living tree: prosperity, but difficulty finding real understanding
- Surrounded by masterpieces: insatiable longings that make your present success feel paltry
- You look at beautiful pictures: false appearances and joy without profit; in love, great pleasure and a lovely family
- You make a picture: an unprofitable venture
- You destroy pictures: you'll be forgiven for standing up for your rights forcefully
- You buy pictures: worthless speculation
- Pictures appear before you: deception and ill will from people around you
How you felt
- Idealization: the dream may reflect a gap between your dreams and reality
- Dissatisfaction: a sense that nothing ever measures up
Ask yourself
- Am I comparing my life to an ideal picture?
- What would truly satisfy me?
