Dream Theme

Dreaming of mist
Vinaya K. Manhas

MIST or fog generally represents ambiguity and, to a great extent, deception. As per Indian thought to see mist and fog in your dreams is very unlucky and a predictor of bad luck and problems. If you have given loans then you shall face difficulties in recovering them. After such a dream you are warned to not give loans to anyone as the chances of recovery will be slim. Any form of speculative activity such as gambling or share trading will be risky. Avoid such activities or else you may have to face losses. Such a dream could also foretell severe sickness. Dreams of mist may also be an indication that you need to pay more attention to the spiritual side of life. Should the mist begin to clear before you wake up and the sun begins to shine, then it is a lucky sign. The uncertainty prevailing in your life shall soon end. If you are undergoing losses, fate shall take a turn for the better and you shall stand to gain. Any plans that you may have for advancing in your business or profession shall be realised. However depressing the present may be, you can be sure of a very good time in the future.

As per western thought, to dream of being enveloped in mist denotes uncertain fortunes and domestic unhappiness. Should the mist clear away then you can be sure that your troubles shall soon end. Should you see others enveloped in mist then you can be certain that you shall stand to gain from other misfortunes. To be travelling on a road enveloped in mist foretells long and tiresome journeys ahead. But should the mist clear up then you can be sure of gains at the end of the journey. For an unmarried woman to be enveloped in fog is a warning of malicious scandals but if the fog clears, it means that she will soon be able to prove her innocence and regain her social standing.

Psychoanalytically speaking, mist symbolises confusion. We may not be clear regarding our actions or emotions. Such a dream asks us to sort out our confusion by analysing our attitudes and emotions. It can also indicate our unwillingness to face certain realities of life. To see yourself walking through fog or mist is often a warning that the judgment of other people could cloud certain important matters. So might be better if you take no action in under the present circumstances. You are advised to sit still and let the situation sort itself out. It can also indicate directionless wandering. You need to clear up certain areas of your life and give direction to them.

A 53-year-old man would often dream of getting lost in a fog, and would not know where he was going. But he would feel no fright, just a feeling of peace in walking aimlessly. The dream portrays certain aimlessness in the life of the dreamer. But getting lost does not seem to provoke fear within him, rather a feeling of light-heartedness. This means that getting away from the home environment proved to be relaxing for him. His problems at his home need to be sorted out for the mist in his real life to clear up.
