Lucky or unlucky?
Check in with yourself A dream reflecting an anxious or tired heart
Rather than an unlucky omen, this is a dream asking you to check in with yourself. Often an anxious or tired mind, or a worry you have been putting off, borrows the shape of a dream. Instead of reading it as a warning that something bad will happen, use it as a chance to notice what has been weighing on you lately.
