Dreaming of Your Son

son · mixed

A handsome, dutiful son promises pride; a son ill or in danger signals trouble.

What happens in the dream

  • Your son is handsome and dutiful: he will make you proud and aim high
  • You rescue him: the danger will pass unexpectedly, the happy outcome
  • Your son is injured or ill: trouble lies ahead for you
  • Your son falls to the bottom of a well and cries out: deep grief, losses and illness
  • You talk with your son: a sudden setback

How you felt

  • Parental worry: the dream often reflects fear of something happening to a child
  • Pride: it can also express attachment and the hopes you hold for them

Ask yourself

  • What am I worried about for the people I love?
  • What hopes am I projecting onto others?
