Dreaming of a Pit
pit · mostly negative, with one happy outcome
Falling into a pit points to misfortune and sorrow; climbing out, to victory over adversity.
What happens in the dream
- You climb down into one deliberately: you'll knowingly risk health and fortune for greater success
- You're in a pit and climb out: many enemies and troubles, but you'll overcome them, marry well and grow rich
- You look into a deep pit: foolish business risks and worries in love
- You wake as you start to fall: you'll come out of distress in fairly good shape
- You fall into a pit: misfortune, deep sorrow, or a sweetheart who prefers someone else
How you felt
- Fear of falling: the dream may reflect a sense of danger or vertigo
- Determination: a wish to climb back up
Ask yourself
- Where do I feel I've hit bottom?
- Which risk am I taking with my eyes open?
