Guilt

Feeling guilty, Regret, Remorse

Guilt has a way of following you into sleep, replaying what you said or did or failed to do. A guilty dream doesn't necessarily mean you did something wrong. It often shows that you care deeply about being fair and kind, and that something doesn't sit well with your values. Sometimes the guilt belongs to an old event you've never quite forgiven yourself for. The dream invites you to make amends where you can and to let go where you can't.
