Umbrella Dream Meaning

Dreaming of an umbrella usually speaks of being ready to shield yourself from rough conditions. Just as you open an umbrella against rain or sun, in a dream it often means you have something prepared inside you to cope with a difficult situation or with stress. Much of the meaning rests on whether the umbrella is open or closed, sturdy or broken.

• A sturdy open umbrella

  You feel able to protect yourself even in hard times.

• An umbrella breaking or turning inside out

  Despite your preparation, you are struggling to handle the situation.

• Losing your umbrella or not having one with you

  You were not fully prepared for a problem that came up suddenly.

• Sharing your umbrella with someone

  This expresses a wish to stand by that person.

• Two people walking under one umbrella

  This scene speaks of a closeness in which you each shelter the other.

In essence an umbrella dream says that you cannot hold off every storm, but the effort to give yourself and the people close to you a little cover is often the most important thing you can do.
