Dreaming of a Publican
publican, bartender, innkeeper, pub owner · mixed
A publican points to compassion leading you to help someone at your own expense.
What happens in the dream
- You see a publican: you will be moved by someone in desperate straits and cut into your own gains to help them
- If you are single: a worthy but plain suitor whose feelings you may hurt needlessly
How you felt
- Compassion: the dream may reflect a generous impulse
- Doubt: perhaps a fear of passing over someone good because of appearances
Ask yourself
- For whom am I willing to make sacrifices?
- Do I judge too quickly by looks?
