What does it mean when you dream about your friend?

In the Persian tradition, a friend in dreams announces spiritual problems, grief, and sorrow. Westerners believe that if you dream of a friend, there may be some conflict with this person in the future. 

What does it mean when you dream about your friend?

The dream is positive if you receive a friend in your house, and it suggests good relationships with others. Friends in dreams can be omens of your past. Our dreams can contain messages about others: maybe in ways, we could help them or warnings to stay away from them! If you dream suddenly that a friend from school is in trouble, contact him or her the following day it may mean they are in trouble in waking life. Sometimes, the unconscious mind can pick up subtle messages that our conscious minds might miss.

Our dreams can connect us to deeper levels of our psyche, such as archetypal energies or deeper spiritual layers. These are what Jung called "big dreams". These dreams can bring us into touch with our inner guides or inner gurus. Or, at a more basic level, they may give one a clue for what we are looking for - solitude or more contact with our friend for example.

If you see friends in your dream, this indicates that you need to better relate to people around you. If you know the identity of the friend in your dream, you need to be able to look at the relationship with that person in order to find ways to improve it. If you see yourself as a child playing with old friends, this generally suggests that you started questioning your identity.

Even though our dreams are a personal conversation with our unconscious, there are commonalities in the images we experience. Jung called this the collective unconscious. The collective image bank contains archetypes. An archetype, as you'll recall, is a common pattern of experience that is shared by all people. It can appear in many forms, including as a symbol or image, a pattern or feeling, as well as an idea, person, or even an idea.

Archetypes are useful because they communicate ideas that others can understand. These archetypes can help us to build a structure or based on the experiences of those who have been there before. These can be helpful in helping us discover the meaning of our dreams. 

A friend is someone who you depend on. When we go through spiritual growth, they may appear in our dreams. The friend could indicate that you need to retreat' * for a while and be alone away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This friend as a symbol may be telling you to listen and follow your intuition - it is a message to you. Maybe you listen too much to the negative side of others and ignore your own instincts. You can see the friend in many forms: as on their own, as a monk, nun, or as a friendly dog in a dream. A similar archetypal figure, the guru, may be seen in dreams when we need to focus on ourselves for a while.
