Dreaming of Sleep
sleep, nap, slumber · mixed
Sleeping in a dream is often a poor sign, except in a clean bed or for someone waiting for danger to pass.
What happens in the dream
- You sleep in clean, fresh sheets: peace and affection from those you love
- You sleep beside a small child: happiness at home and love returned
- You watch others sleep: you will overcome opposition in love
- You sleep beside someone repulsive: your love will cool and your escapades will cost you
- You sleep somewhere odd: illness and broken engagements
- You simply sleep: a poor sign, unless you fear some danger, in which case you will be freed from it
- You sleep in a graveyard: setbacks, and danger for anyone ill
How you felt
- Tiredness: the dream may reflect a real need for rest
- A need for safety: it often shows how much you want somewhere to settle
Ask yourself
- Am I giving myself enough rest?
- Where do I truly feel safe?
