Dreaming of Ruins
ruin, remains, ruins, wreckage · mostly negative, except for ancient ruins
Ruins warn of broken ties and losses, though ancient ruins promise travel tinged with sadness.
What happens in the dream
- You see ruins: broken engagements, business trouble, failed crops and poor health
- Ancient ruins or old castles: wide travel, with a note of sadness in a long- held hope come true
- The ruins of a burnt-down house: loss of property
- The ruins of a collapsed house: the death of a friend or acquaintance
How you felt
- Nostalgia: the dream often reflects attachment to what is gone
- Discouragement: it may echo a sense that something has collapsed
Ask yourself
- What has fallen apart in my life, and what can I rebuild?
- What part of the past am I finding hard to let go?
