Attic in a dream
An attic in a dream is read as a treasury of old memories, forgotten wishes and ideas still waiting for their turn.
In folk lore the attic is the highest part of the house, so it is linked with thoughts, imagination and remembering. Whoever rummages through an attic in a dream is believed to recall something they wanted long ago, or to find a solution that was right under their nose. Dust and cobwebs mean nothing bad, only that a good deal of time has passed. Old folk say this is a dream of people who have more talent than they admit to themselves.
The most common dreams
Dreaming that you are climbing up to the attic
By folk belief, climbing to the attic means you will see things from above and more clearly. It is a good sign before a decision you have been turning over for a while.
Dreaming of old things in the attic
Old things are read as memories coming back to cheer you up. It is also possible that you will hear from someone you have not been in touch with for ages.
Dreaming of a dusty attic full of cobwebs
People believe cobwebs in the attic point to a neglected gift or hobby. The dream gently reminds you to bring it back out into the light of day.
Dreaming of finding treasure in the attic
Finding treasure is counted among the nicer dreams. It is read as a reward for patience, or as the discovery of your own worth.
These interpretations come from folk tradition and are meant for fun; they do not predict the future and are not advice for life decisions.
