What Does Dreaming of Divorce Mean?
Traditional Interpretation
In traditional interpretation and according to Ibn Sirin, divorce in a dream mostly points to leaving behind a situation, a partnership, or a burden; in some readings it may point to loss of wealth or a trial concerning one's reputation. Many scholars, however, have interpreted a separation that occurs for a valid reason as deliverance from hardship and as ease and abundance.
Psychological View
From a modern psychological perspective (Jung), a divorce dream may symbolize not so much a relationship as the need to part from a piece of oneself, an old identity, or a tie one no longer wishes to carry. In the Freudian reading, it may point to a repressed desire for freedom or to the outward expression of unresolved tension in a close relationship.
By Context
For a Married Man
For a married man who sees himself divorcing his wife, some interpreters read it as financial gain, others as hardship in making a living.
For a Married Woman
A married woman seeing herself divorced may point to a contentious, tense period in the marriage or to problems that need resolving.
For Singles
A single person dreaming of divorce may, in some sources, be interpreted as parting from a partner, and in others as an approaching marriage.
According to Nabulsi
According to Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi, a divorce dream may—paradoxically—point to the bond between spouses growing even stronger.
