Dreaming of a Rake

A rake urges you to oversee what you've left to others.

What happens in the dream

  • Others are raking: you will rejoice in someone else's good fortune
  • You use a rake: work you left to others won't get done unless you supervise it yourself
  • A broken rake: illness or an accident will wreck your plans

How you felt

  • A need for control: the dream may reflect difficulty trusting others
  • Generosity: perhaps the pleasure of seeing people close to you do well

Ask yourself

  • What have I handed off that I should take back?
  • Can I be glad for other people?
