Dream Symbol: mentally unstable

mentally unstable

Dreaming that you are mentally unstable (such as psychotic or insane) can represent:

  • A feeling or fear of not being able to think clearly or logically
  • A feeling or fear of others not accepting you
  • A feeling of being unable or unwilling to deal with your life right now, as in frustration, overwhelm, or a low tolerance for problems or responsibilities

Someone else being mentally unstable can mean you're attributing these same things to them, or can represent the idea of a situation or person seeming out of control or unpredictable.

Tips to Understand Dream Meaning

Dream symbol meanings are different for each person. It's IMPORTANT to consider:

  • Personal meaning - What the dream symbol means to you, what it reminds you of, how it makes you feel.
  • Context - How the dream symbol appears in the dream. For example, in a dream about a bee - what was the bee doing, how and where it was doing it, and how did you feel about it?
  • Look beyond the obvious - A dream is often about something other than its obvious meaning. Physical events in the dream commonly represent mental or emotional matters.
