Dreaming of Want
want, destitution · mixed
Being in want in a dream is a warning, but it can also herald a happy reversal.
What happens in the dream
- You relieve someone else's need: you will be respected for your kindness, though it brings you little joy
- You suddenly fall on hard times: unexpected good fortune awaits, through an inheritance or a good deal
- You are in want: you have ignored life's realities and risk hardship
- You are content despite want: you will face misfortune bravely and see it pass
How you felt
- Insecurity: the dream often reflects a fear of not having enough
- A search for meaning: you may be asking what really matters to you
Ask yourself
- What am I afraid of running out of?
- What would truly be enough for me?
