Encounter in a dream
In folk belief, an encounter in a dream announces seeing someone dear and a happy coincidence.
Dream books read an unexpected encounter in a dream as a sign that someone is thinking of you, or that you often think of someone. A dream about an old acquaintance is believed to announce news from that person or a memory that will cheer you up. Meeting a stranger is read as a new acquaintance and fresh views. People say no two people meet by chance, even if only in a dream; every such dream reminds you how much those you carry in your thoughts mean to you.
The most common dreams
Dreaming of an encounter with an old friend
By tradition, an old friend announces a message, a call or a real get-together. It is believed the conversation will flow as if you had seen each other yesterday.
Dreaming of a chance encounter in the street
Running into someone by chance is read as a happy coincidence that brightens your day. People say good folk always find each other somehow.
Dreaming of an encounter with a stranger
A stranger in a dream is a sign of a new acquaintance or a fresh idea. Old dream books hold that you will hear something useful from someone.
Dreaming of an encounter with a former love
An old flame is read as a memory, not as a call to go back. It is read that you have taken the best of that story along with you.
These interpretations come from folk tradition and are meant for fun; they do not predict the future and are not advice for life decisions.
