Auction Dream Meaning

Dream interpretation from 19 unique sources about Auction

Winning a bid at an auction portends fair treatment in your business endeavors. It also shows that you feel confident about the value of something (symbolized by what you bid on). This item can represent anything from a personal characteristic to a person.

Exchanging money at an auction foretells plenty and luck.

Losing a bid can signify the loss of something (or someone) important in real life. Examples include an object that you treasured, a personal conviction that gets impeded, or a vision or goal being waylaid. [1]

To dream of an auction in a general way, is good.

If you hear the auctioneer crying his sales, it means bright prospects and fair treatment from business ventures.

Freeing yourself of unwanted thoughts, things and experiences. An auction by choice means you have benefitted from the past and are moving on; an auction by force means you are resisting change, harboring old ideas and resentments. Buying auctioned goods may be positive or negative, depending upon their quality and desirability. [3]
To dream that you are at an auction suggests that either you are not giving the appropriate credit or attention to an item or person in your life, or you are being too attentive. This may also indicate that you need to look towards the future and utilize the knowledge you have gained to help you make decisions. [4]
If an auction figures in your dreams, what was the identity of the object you, or others, were bidding for? Was it a position at work? Was it for a lifestyle change? Was your bid too low or too high, or did you pay more than the object was worth? If so, should you re-evaluate your ambitions in waking life? [5]
Are you buying, selling or observing? The selling of what belongs to the one auctioning it off. What are the items being auctioned? Selling or trading and making a financial improvement by it. Could be one selling himself or herself to the highest and best bidder?; as in a job fair or interview.  [6]
To dream you attend an auction is, on the whole, unfavorable. If you purchase, expect loss of property. If you only attend, you are sure to meet with a heavy deprivation of friends and property. If you pass by one, then you will attain, in a few years, all that you moderately desire. [7]
Something is coming your way. Or pay attention to business and make fast decisions. Wanting to own something of worth (usually art or antiques) in bad economic times. According to Erich Fromm, it points to a “have-mode,” as in Attache Case, Booty, and Stock Market. [8]
