Lucky dream Read as a dream announcing good things

Traditional readings lean toward this being a lucky dream, a sign of something coming in: good news, money or a welcome connection. If the mood of the dream was heavy or frightening, though, pay attention to that feeling first. Treat a lucky dream less as "fortune will arrive on its own" and more as "things go well if you move".

Similar dreams and how they differ

Dreams that share the same subject. Find the scene closest to yours.

  1. Dream of Your Roof Blowing AwayDepends on the scene

    The roof blowing off in the wind has long been seen as the household's protective shield weakening for a while, but there's also a lucky reading: if sunlight poured through the opening, blocked luck would open wide. If you felt refreshed looking at the sky, it leans toward the good.

    There's both a wish for the limits that confined you to vanish and fear of sudden change. It may be a sign it's time to break out of the mold.

    • Seeing stars through the open roof · Your dreams and hopes grow and your view widens.
    • Rain pouring in and soaking the house · Prepare for expenses or worries for a while.
    • Putting on a new roof · Read as making your household sturdy again.

    Today's advice · If change scares you, decide just one thing to keep and one thing to change.

  2. Dream of a chicken flying up highLucky dream

    A chicken, which can't really fly, soaring high means an unexpected leap or rise in the world. It was seen as something beyond your limits happening.

    Hope that you can do it too is welling up.

  3. Dream of a bluebird flying awayDepends on the scene

    A bluebird leaving means don't search for happiness far away; look close by. If the bluebird landed on a tree near your house, happiness is right beside you.

    It's a sad feeling that happiness is always just out of reach.

  4. Dream of a pheasant bursting into flightLucky dream

    A pheasant suddenly bursting up from the brush means a hidden chance suddenly appears. If the pheasant showed off splendid plumage, that chance is strikingly big; a cock pheasant relates to outside work, a hen to household matters.

    It's a heart that's been waiting for an opportunity.

  5. Dream of a bird you thought dead flying off againLucky dream

    A bird you thought dead coming back to life means something you'd given up on revives and the energy of recovery arrives. If the bird sang vigorously as it flew off, recovery is faster than expected.

    It's a heart that never let go of hope even when everyone said it was over.

  6. Dream of a bird flying out of your mouthLucky dream

    It's a wish to express yourself.

  7. Dream of birds flying so high they become dotsLucky dream

    Birds growing smaller as they fly high mean moving toward a big goal, so dream big. If a dot-sized bird came back down, something that went far returns with good results; if the sky was clear, that path is smooth too.

    It's a wish to go further.

  8. Dream of flying through the sky with a flock of birdsLucky dream

    Flying through the sky with birds means achieving goals with good colleagues. If you felt at ease in the flock, like-minded colleagues are beside you; if you reached the destination together, success is near.

    It's a wish to be together.

    A wish to rise above the ordinary and become special appeared as a hero.

  11. Dream of flying along with your familyLucky dream

  12. Dream of people looking up at you as you flyLucky dream

  13. Dream of flying through the sky on a dragonLucky dream

  14. Dream of a typhoon blowing off your roofCheck in with yourself
