A wake warns against dubious choices, in love as in daily life.
What happens in the dream
- Seeing your partner there: you may give in to passion at the cost of your good name
- Attending a wake: you will drop an important commitment for an ill-advised meeting
- A rowdy wake with drinking and wailing: poverty and hardship
- If you are single: beware of a partner who drinks too much
How you felt
- Grief or nostalgia: the dream may reflect a loss you haven't finished processing
- Moral unease: you may feel torn between duty and desire
Ask yourself
