Dreaming of Skates

skate, ice skate, roller skate · mostly negative, with one cheerful note

Skates mostly warn of risk: losing something valuable, or having your name dragged into gossip.

What happens in the dream

  • Young people roller-skating: good health and joy in pleasing others, the one happy sign
  • The ice breaks under you: unworthy friends will give you advice
  • You see a pair of skates: discord among the people around you
  • You skate on ice: you could lose your job or something valuable
  • You watch others skating: unpleasant people will link your name to a scandal

How you felt

  • Insecurity: the dream may reflect a sense of moving over slippery ground
  • Embarrassment: it can echo a fear of what others are saying about you

Ask yourself

  • Where in my life do I feel the ground could give way?
  • Whose advice am I relying on right now?
