Divorce Dream Meaning

Dream interpretation from 25 unique sources about Divorce

Dreaming of a divorce is evidence of complicated love affairs and urges you to reflect calmly before making important decisions. This oneiric thought may also reflect an internal division between mind and heart.

If they are not reconciled, you can end up suffering psychological problems. On the other hand, dreams that are generated after a marital separation tend to be distressing. Often, one spouse (particularly the one that has been abandoned) dreams of scenes involving sexual rejection or direct infidelity. Therefore, during the first stages of a divorce, dreams and nightmares are a measure of your disorientation and intense feelings of pain.

According to oneiric oracles, this dream is a warning. It advises you to improve the atmosphere of your domestic environment. [1]

1- Dreaming of divorce may actually refer to our feelings about that person in the dream, and perhaps our need to be free of responsibilities. It may also indicate the necessity to clarify our own relationship between the various facets of our personality.

2- We are becoming conscious of the need to express emotion if we are to maintain our own integrity. We are moving into a new way of life, perhaps without the old support systems we have used.

3- To dream of divorce would suggest a potential difficulty in understanding a loss of integration in our personality. [2]

Dreams about divorce can be straightforward reflections of the dreamer’s real life experiences. Divorce dreams may also reflect stress that the dreamer is dealing with. You may be wondering if you have made a mistake in some situation or decision.

If you dream that you are getting a divorce, you are not satisfied with your present relationship and you should get out of the situation or you will be unhappy.

If you dream that your parents are getting divorced, you may be expressing your real life concerns and worries about your folks. [3]

Vision: Dreaming about getting a divorce: you did something and are afraid of losing your lover or partner.

Dreaming of odier people’s divorces: a warning to take your own vows more seriously.

Depth Psychology: Is this dream a sign that you are really in danger of losing someone, or is your unconscious warning you that an affair will endanger your present relationship? Only you can answer these questions! [4]

A marriage is the symbolic integration of different character aspects. It can also symbolize the primary integration that is the purpose of all consciousness expansion.

A divorce is the end of a level of evolution that is no longer viable. In order to grow, you must release elements of the past.

A divorce in a dream is symbolic of the end of one phase of your development and the beginning of another. [5]

(1) A dream in which you and your spouse are divorced may express a (hidden) desire for an end to the relationship, or a feeling of frustration in the relationship.

(2) Divorce may be a symbol of a split within your psyche: perhaps between conscious and unconscious; the masculine and feminine halves of your personality; intellect and feelings. [6]

A dream of a divorce, whether you are in a courtroom or not, is a warning that you must change your ways and learn to compromise rather than demand, or your marriage is in danger of divorce.

A single life of frustration is that of a woman who dreams of a divorce because of cheating lovers. [7]

To dream of being divorced, denotes that you are not satisfied with your companion, and should cultivate a more congenial atmosphere in the home life.

It is a dream of warning.

For women to dream of divorce, denotes that a single life may be theirs through the infidelity of lovers. [8]

A separation from a negatively influential person or bad situation.

Potentially a dream that considers this option in your current relationship.

Separation from distinct elements of self that you perceive as holding you back, or with which you’ve been unhappy. [9]

Material aspects: Dreaming of divorce may actually refer to our feelings about the other person in the dream, and perhaps our need to be free of responsibilities. It may simply highlight the need for a change in the relationship structure. [10]
The significance of this dream depends upon the marital status of the dreamer.

If married, it is a dream of contrary and you can rely on your mate; if single, it is a warning that your affections are probably misplaced. [11]

A warning dream.

For those who are already married it means that they should try to use their understanding to the best advantage in order to avoid discord.

For those in love, it warns against jealousy». [12]

May be an expression of anger towards one’s spouse; fear of or hope for breakup of marriage. Male dream: difficulty with one’s feelings. Female dream: difficulty with social extroversion and intellect. [13]
Gives gender-specific: In any dream where the differences between male and female are highlighted, both men and women may be struggling with the conflict between logic and intuition. [14]
1. Separation in what you are nurturing (your actual calling for something else);

2. Disagreement;

3. Adultery;

4. Actual divorce. Matt. 19:5-6; Matt. 19:8; Deut. 24:1. [15]

To dream of divorce would suggest that there is a loss of integration in our personality and a potential difficulty in understanding spiritual matters. [16]
Rending apart, a severing of part of ourselves no longer providing positive growth. Understanding and letting go, necessary for a new beginning. [17]

(Poverty) If someone divorces his wife in a dream, it means that he will be dismissed from his job.

If an unmarried person sees himself divorcing someone in a dream, it means reaching a conclusion to whatever good or bad he is experiencing. As for the divorce of a married person in a dream, it means closing of his business or his death if he is bed stricken.

If one sees himself divorcing his wife in a dream, it means that he will become rich, or that his life will run smoother. Ifone divorces his wife with the intention of returning to her in a dream, it means that he will change his trade for a short time, then engages back in it.

If the divorce is irrevocable, then it could mean that he will permanently close his business. Divorcing one’s wife in a dream also means disregarding a treasure, renouncing an inheritance, abdicating one’s throne, or impeachment from one’s office. Divorce in a dream also denotes poverty. Divorcing one’s sick wife in a dream means that she may die of her illness. However, if one divorces his sick wife with the intention of returning to her again in the dream, in that case, it means that she will recover from her illness.
