Dreaming of a Raffle

raffle, draw, sweepstakes · mostly negative

A raffle points to unlucky speculation and dashed hopes.

What happens in the dream

  • You raffle something off: you will fall victim to speculation
  • You raffle for poultry: a household that may go short
  • You are at a church raffle: disappointment will cloud your future
  • You take part in a raffle: empty expectations, even hardship

How you felt

  • Hope: the dream may reflect a wish for a lucky break to fix everything
  • Wariness: perhaps a fear of backing the wrong horse

Ask yourself

  • Where am I relying too much on luck?
  • Which expectations should I rethink?
