Wanting dream meaning

Wanting something in your dream indicates that you have reached a stage of spiritual development where you have become impatient in your life with the never-ending search of trying to understand who you are. This feeling is often highlighted in your dream. If you want something specifically within your dream, this indicates that your needs are likely to be repressed.

Feelings of wanting or needing in a dream are often highlighted with intensity. If you are yearning for love or for a lover, this dream indicates that you have chaotic feelings at the moment. Ancient dream dictionaries indicate that yearning for a lover means you are likely to receive a proposal in the near future. If you let the partner know that you are yearning for him or her in your dream, things in your life will be positive. If that partner does not know that you want him or her, it is likely that the partner will never become yours.
