An interpretation of break up dreams
This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. The symbolism of divorce revolves primarily around the ideas of something coming to end or being divisive. Dreams have other ways of saying the same things, so focus on how divorce captures specifics of the situation, such as feelings of acrimony, symbolism of marriage and family, division among close people, and something that ends and is not chosen lightly. Divorce can connect with other associated feelings and emotions, such as bitterness, disappointment, and anger. Personal experience with divorce, or close observation of what it does to people and families, opens the possibility for a wide array of symbolism based on personal association. A divorce is a final end to a relationship, so dreaming about getting a divorce can mean the end of something else, or your feelings for someone or something are finally settled. It can symbolize finally getting over a breakup, or realizing you’ll never get back together with your ex. See: Former partners The symbolism can extend to any sort of relationship that ends, such as a friendship or business relationship, or even the relationship to something intangible, such as a television show. The show disappoints you one last time and that’s it, goodbye show. Divorce is a negotiated settlement, such as when employment ends with a severance package. Divorce gives you distance from something. You want to walk away. Finito. Dreams can get creative with how far they reach to make a comparison. Divorce is comparable to a mistake that costs you a bundle, or to the high personal price for failure. It can symbolize a mistake that you pay for over time. See: Alimony Psychologically, divorce can symbolize disharmony inside you, being at odds with yourself. Or other parts of the psyche want to divorce from the ego. It can be a shock from within to make you realize things are at the breaking point. Something can’t continue the way it is, and it might be the way you treat yourself. Then again, divorce can be good when it means “freedom,” especially freedom from something that’s sapping you. It’s a clean break.
