Dreaming of a Wager

Betting in a dream warns against shady means and risk, though winning restores your luck.
What happens in the dream
- Winning it: luck turns your way again, the one good omen
- You can't put up a stake: circumstances will leave you discouraged
- Making a wager: you will be tempted to use dishonest means to get ahead
- Losing it: dubious connections will do you harm
- Betting on a dispute or an event: a serious accident threatens, but a friend's brave help will see you through with only a scratch
How you felt
- Excitement or anxiety: the dream may reflect a risk you're weighing
- Doubts about your methods: you may be asking whether the end justifies the means
Ask yourself
- What risk am I taking?
- Do my methods match my values?
