Dreaming of Vitriol

vitriol, corrosive, sulfuric acid · mostly negative

Vitriol mostly points to unfair judgments and spite, whether you are the one dishing it out or on the receiving end.

What happens in the dream

  • Seeing vitriol: you may blame someone who has done nothing wrong
  • Throwing it at someone: you will hold a grudge against people who are trying to help you
  • A jealous rival throws it in your face: you will become the undeserved target of someone's hatred
  • If you run a business: enemies and harassment

How you felt

  • Anger or bitterness: the dream may mirror resentment you haven't voiced yet
  • Fear of being hurt: you may feel exposed to other people's judgment

Ask yourself

  • Have I judged someone too quickly lately?
  • What hostility, real or imagined, is weighing on me right now?
