Dreaming of Being Ugly

ugly, hideous, ugliness, unattractive · mixed

Seeing yourself as ugly foretells trouble in love, though another reading promises welcome news from an absent friend.

What happens in the dream

  • You're ugly: a difficulty with your sweetheart, and dimmer prospects
  • You think yourself ugly: you may behave badly towards your partner and cause a rift
  • You're ugly or misshapen: welcome news from a long-absent friend

How you felt

  • Low self-esteem: often a harsh view of yourself
  • Fear of rejection: worry you won't be loved as you are

Ask yourself

  • Am I being too hard on myself lately?
  • Am I afraid I'm not enough for someone?
