Witness Dream Meaning

Witnessing an event in a dream, or standing as a witness in court, usually points to an inner tug-of-war over truth and responsibility. This dream often comes from the dilemma of having seen something and not knowing what you ought to do about it.

• Taking the stand to tell the truth

  You feel firm about where you stand on questions of fairness.

• Being afraid to testify, or feeling pressured to lie

  Somewhere in real life you are being pushed to act against your conscience.

• Silently watching events unfold without doing anything

  This dream often comes when you have seen some wrong happen in front of you and lacked the courage or the chance to step in.

Seeing and knowing carry a responsibility of their own. This dream draws your attention to how much of that weight you are carrying.
