Friday the 13th
Even people who laugh at superstition know Friday the 13th, the most famous unlucky date in the English-speaking world. Dreaming of it rarely has much to say about the calendar. More often it reflects a nagging sense that things could go wrong, or that you're waiting for the other shoe to drop. If the day passed without trouble, you may be leaving behind an old worry that never came true. Feeling jinxed in the dream can show that you've been blaming chance for something you could actually change.
Also called: Friday the thirteenth, Unlucky day, Number 13
