Dreaming of Profanity
profanity, cursing, obscenity · mostly negative
Swearing in a dream warns against hardening your heart; hearing it points to being hurt or insulted.
What happens in the dream
- You use profanity: you risk becoming coarse and unfeeling toward others
- Others swear: you will be hurt in some way, and probably insulted too
How you felt
- Pent-up anger: the dream may reflect frustration looking for a way out
- Unease: perhaps a fear of being battered by words
Ask yourself
- What anger am I not expressing?
- Are other people's words hurting me at the moment?
