Dreaming of a Thermometer

thermometer, gauge, temperature · mostly negative, unless the mercury rises

A thermometer measures how your affairs stand: it all depends on which way the mercury moves.

What happens in the dream

  • You check a thermometer: disappointing business and disagreements at home
  • A broken thermometer: illness
  • The mercury is falling: your affairs take a worrying turn
  • The mercury is rising: you'll shake off your business troubles

How you felt

  • Watchfulness: a need to take the temperature of a situation
  • Worry: a feeling that things are cooling down

Ask yourself

  • What situation do I need to assess honestly?
  • Does my health need more attention?
