Dreaming of a Present

present · mixed

Receiving a present in a dream means either exceptional luck or disappointment, depending on the reading.

What happens in the dream

  • You receive presents: unusual good fortune
  • You are given fruit: a pregnancy may be on the way
  • Your partner gives you gold jewellery: be wary of desire that is more physical than heartfelt
  • You receive a present: by contrast, often a disappointment

How you felt

  • Joy or surprise: the dream may reflect a need to be treated or recognised
  • Suspicion: perhaps a sense that a generous gesture hides an expectation

Ask yourself

  • What would I really like to receive?
  • Do I accept what I'm given easily?
