Dream symbol · S
Scandal
The release of accumulated tension and the need to express a suppressed truth.
Dream interpretation
A scandal in a dream acts as a valve for emotional pressure. We often dream of quarrels when we are being too restrained and tactful in reality. Screaming and anger are ways for the psyche to cleanse itself of accumulated bitterness. If you start the scandal, it is time to set boundaries. If you are an observer, you may feel helpless in a conflict at work or home. Do not be frightened by the aggression in the dream—it is psychic energy wanting to be channeled into constructive action.
