Divorce / Separation Dream Meaning

Dream interpretation from 2 unique sources about Divorce / Separation

Dreams that involve divorce or separation from your partner in some way may be expression of anger towards your current partner. Such dreams may also represent some kind of emotional breakdown or lack of communication in the relationship.

If you have a dream in which your partner demands a divorce, you may be feeling concerned about the robustness of your marriage. On the other hand, your unconscious may be traumatizing you with such a dream to remind you of how lucky you are to have such a wife or husband, thereby warning you not to take them for granted.

If it is you who is asking for the divorce in your dream, ask yourself if you are longing to escape from your marriage.

If you do have dreams which feature divorce, they can be extremely unsettling, especially if you are in a committed relationship in waking life; it is important to bear in mind, however, that your unconscious may have used your partner as a symbol for something else to which you are wedded, such as a job, an ideal or an opinion.

If so, your dreaming mind may have been urging you to leave your job, change your mind or open your mind to new possibilities. A dream of saying farewell to your lover or partner is similar in many ways to dreams about death, as it does not mean you are going to leave someone, it means you are saying goodbye to something they represent. [1]

Either a desire for or a fear of separation. This symbol also may indicate separating things out—differentiating—which points to your ability to make judgments. [2]
