Dreaming of a Tomb

tomb, tombstone · mixed, sharply divided

A tomb divides the readings: sadness and illness for some, marriage and success for others.

What happens in the dream

  • You walk among the tombs: a coming marriage, success, a lawsuit won and surprising news
  • You read an epitaph: unpleasant duties
  • A grand tomb: falling for someone above your station
  • You see tombs: sadness and business disappointment
  • Crumbling tombs: serious illness or a death
  • Your own tomb: personal illness or disappointment

How you felt

  • Melancholy: often the end of a chapter
  • Renewal: what ends makes room for something else

Ask yourself

  • What's coming to an end in my life?
  • What am I ready to leave behind?
