There are many different types of magic. The meaning of our dream, will in large part depend on the type of magic within it.
- Magical tricks include sleight of hand techniques, optical illusions, and other fun acts that a magician performs to delight and entertain his audience.
- Sorcery is associated with the power to alter time, matter, and space through the use of supernatural forces. Many cultures associate sorcerous powers with taint, evil, or the devil.
- Witchcraft is commonly associated with herbology, i.e., the creation of various potions, powders, and amulets for healing, protection, coercion, curses, and more.
In addition to type of magic, the interpretation of our dream will also depend on-
- Who is performing the magic,
- Source of the magical powers,
- Purpose of the magic and its end result,
- Location of our magic dream.
Who is Performing Magic in Our Dream
- Self
Exercising positive magic on others, indicates that we want to help, or give them support during a difficult time. Performing magic on ourselves signifies transformation, and a sign of better things to come.
If we are using sorcery, it signals confidence in our own powers and abilities. Alternatively, it may capture our wish to easily dispose of our current problems without any true effort or heartache.
- People we know
Friends performing dream magic on us, implies a good support system from the people around us, as well as positive outcomes for our future.On the other hand, sorcery or darker magics indicate the existence of enemies, or possible impediments to our future goals. We may have an unfriendly or overly competitive workplace; we may be having difficulties with a group of bullies; or we may fear betrayal from someone we know.
- Stranger
Watching a magician signals pleasant future surprises, profitable returns, or an interest in higher education.An encounter with a dark but unknown dream wizard indicates a worry for our own safety or security, fear of being stalked, or otherwise targeted by an unknown assailant. We may also be overwhelmed with negative encounters from an online bully.
Source of the Magical Powers in Our Dream
- Learned magic
The study of magic suggests that we are willing to put in the time and effort to better ourselves. However, learning black magic may be a warning against vanity, arrogance, pride, or sinful temptation. We may be heedless of others, in our quest to achieve power and fulfill our own selfish goals.
- Transformed into a wizard
If we are magically transformed into a wizard in our dream, then we yearn for strength, power, and confidence. If we are transformed into a dark sorcerer or witch, we may harbor sinful thoughts, or feel tainted and guilty for past actions.
- Given a magical object
If our magic power is attained from an object that is given to us, then we may be expecting a promotion, a proposal, or some other good fortune. The type of magical object will also be significant. For example, an apple suggests love and temptation. We may be entering into a new and passionate relationship, or we may be thinking about cheating on our spouse.
- Found a magical object
If we find a magical object in our dream, then we may need to go on a physical or spiritual journey to discover our own strength and power.
A loss of magic, suggests that we feel overwhelmed with our current situation, and may not have the resources to address upcoming difficulties. Alternatively, we may feel depleted, and not be ready or willing to face a recent traumatic event.
Failure to perform magic reveals a lack of self-confidence, and a fear of not meeting the expectations of others, or fulfilling our promises. We need to start believing in ourselves again, understand and identify our strengths, as well as stop pretending to be somebody that we are not.
Purpose of Our Dream Magic and Its End Result
Magic can be used for good or bad, and can bring about small or significant changes.
- Teaching magic shows a wish to guide others, to change the world, and leave behind a powerful legacy.
- Destructive magics may be a warning against deceit, pride, artifice, and temptations.
- Accompanying a dream wizard means we want to learn and gain knowledge from those who are experienced and wise. We may be seeking an apprenticeship or enrolling for higher education.
- Engaging a wizard in battle indicates that we are struggling with difficult issues in our life. However, we are ready to meet those challenges head-on. We may be working on a difficult project, dealing with a challenging relationship, or be struggling with an internal crisis of faith.
- Imprisoning a sorcerer or witch signals a need to keep our pride, lust, greed, and other baser instincts in check.
- Employing a sorcerer or witch suggests some guilt or regret over a recent action that was taken for selfish goals. We may have tricked or cheated others, caused them pain, suffering, and loss, or otherwise corrupted their life.
Location of Our Magic Dream
Finally, where our dream of magic occurs also carries meaning.
- Our house is safe, comfortable, and secure. Performing magic in our house indicates that we are comfortable with our current actions, and are confident about meeting future challenges. Being visited by a dark sorcerer or witch, signals bad luck, uncertainty, and worry about future loss.
- A familiar place carries a history of past deeds and past experiences. We may be haunted by a previous traumatic event, which we are struggling to process, accept, and live with. Our dream of magic, may be our subconscious wish to banish these past troubling experiences. Seeing a dark sorcerer or witch reveals feelings of guilt or fear that is associated with the dream location.
- An unfamiliar place suggests uncertainty and fear of the unknown. Using magic in unfamiliar locations signify a need to exert greater control over our life and destiny. Meeting a dream wizard in unfamiliar territory means we are seeking guidance and strength, to help us through uncertain times.

What does my dream mean?
I was at a location near the sea, it was a poorly lit street where I was running from 3 girls and a man Who had been following me. I entered this old abandoned house and it transported me to a magical hotel/land sort of. There were creatures that looked like humans but they had powers, and warlocks, it was great. There were two entrances, one from where i entered first, the house and The other one was from my shed. You have to crawl through the clutter and you’ll find a small door.
However , I had a decision. Either stay there permanently and never live my old life or leave that world permanently. Because when you leave that magical world and return to your normal one you have to Be back by 20 minutes or else you forget about it.
I also remember making friends with a powerful warlock called Magnus Bane – yes same one from the series (idk why he was there) and with another girl my age. I made the decision to leave my old life and stay in this new world.

Hi! Please tell me what my dreams/visions mean. It started a couple of weeks ago when my friends and I were all standing in front of a mirror and talking and then we gathered into a group to compare heights and saw a tall shadow behind us. We all saw the same shadow, but when we turned around there was nothing there (that was in real life). That night I had a dream about this team of girls with very strong supernatural powers. They each had an outfit, hair colour and eye colour that was for them. The girl I remember the most was a purple girl who had the power to summon monsters and see the future. The next night the same 6 girls were in my dream, all crouched around some kind of throne. On the throne there was a lady, her colour was light grey, and she was clearly some kind of princess. The next day I woke up and kept seeing the purple girl in the glass and I; mirrors. Then my friends and I went into a studio for dance, and in the middle of the class saw the purple girl IN THE FLOORBOARDS. We all saw the same thing which is weird, because my friends had not had the dreams. Finally, that afternoon I was at my desk doing some deep thinking into this kind of hierarchy with the princess, and I just glanced up into the mirror and saw that for a split second my irises were grey, like the lady in my dream. That night I had the same dream as last time but I was the lady in grey. I couldn’t control any of my limbs but for some reason it felt like that was where I was meant to be? Anyway after that dream my friends and I never saw any of the girls again, and I had no dreams about it. What does it mean?

Hi. I had a dream last night that I protected a very powerful stone from some evil or deceitful persons and it was very intense because all of my dream they were running after me and trying to use their senses and get clues to catch me. I don’t remember how I got or received that stone which by the way it was called the philosopher’s stone but I always kept it in a small box and I could turn invisible or fly to hide myself from these people who also had superpowers. Finally I tried to deceive them but they were old and experienced in this kind of tracking and one of them got me, tied me and took my stone and called their boss.. but their boss only arrived after 2 years because somehow I set the stone to deceive the course of time and he thought he arrived there in time.. idk it was confusing but cool.. and in the end I found that they had the other half of the philosophers stone and it was complete then

I was not sure but today i had a dream where there was this lady who had shining silver hair done on one side and her butler(?) standing near a wilted tree. She was anticipating her death as she was told that she would die today (?). It was an isolated area with a mansion (i dont know the vibes of the mansion but was red or white in colour). There was this another lady with a huge hat which covered her eyes and was supposed to be the wife of silver hair’s son. She was very sweet and all and appeared many times almost as if she like she was the protagonist. But (in reality) as i slowly started to gain consciousness— (back in dream) the silver lady informed her daughter-in-law about her conditions. While she was slowly dying she sensed a familiar feeling from her (hat lady)—something that was inside her. Atlast, the silver lady screamed ‘you…whyy..? (Ik dramatic but it was). She didn’t get to speak ahead. The butler went away from the scene and she was still there with what expressions(god knows). Yaa so she had literally devoured her husband.

I had multiple dreams where I was a witch, but somehow I was incabable of using my magic. In one dream I was creating water in my house, but the amount of water I was conjuring was really small and I was really upset about that, in another dream I was trying to cast a spell and transfer myself to another place but still, it wasn’t working.
I was really disturbed about those dreams… And in my culture dreaming about being a witch is a sign that I’m becoming a bad person.

At least you tried.

I had a dream i went to see a beautiful house. I was counting the rooms, I only counted 7 but there was more.i went down stairs and there was a lady cleaning the floor. She was tellimg me the history of the house. She told me some lady past away. And that she has a sister who works with rituals, that she can help with that. She told me to do everything that she says. Her sister was blind. Her shop was right next to the house I went in to. When I entered she was on her knees, about to start. We greeted each other and she kissed the pentagrama, I also kissed the pentagram.She wanted me to do it with her. She tried to convince me. But I was scared. I told her I’ll watch instead. She told she was going to tell the spirits to not bother me. Some other lady walked in the store at Sat on a couch and waited for her to finish. When she started she was screaming words and summoning a spirit. I heard really loud fast foot steps running downstairs. I covered my ears and my eyes. I wanted to wake up but i couldn’t. The lady that was brought me there was also screaming words. When the foot steps stopped there was a little boy looking straight at me.

What’s that meaning?
Bailey Dove says
It might mean that you are struggling with a problem, or some harm has come. If you are struggling, try to find a way to fix it.
Sira says
Can I know what does it mean when in your dream, you encountered two elderly woman that is very afraid of you when you visited their aura reading stall. They asked you to never come back to their place anymore because of what you are in the past life.

I’ve been attracted to magic ever since I can remember but I’ve never been able perform any in my dreams until recently. And this article in my opinion is accurate bc a reached to those conclusions. Could it be cause all these self searching and learning process that I’m going through. Also lately I dream parts of what happens the next day. Maybe is just that I’m aware of things now, 3rd eye opening. A lot of things are happening in a good way I think.

Can someone help me?
I can’t figure out what my dream means.
in this dream someone (a man that I don’t know) was using witchcraft to find me or a package of his that was sent to me. He was using this board thing kinda like a Ouija board and he had candles and a jack of spades card. This random man was wearing a grey jacket with a hoodie and had a black mask covering his eyes like tho ones burglars wear in cartoons? Later on in the dream I was chased by a large black scary wolf and in the dream I was in an old abandoned church and there were some ladies using tarot she was blonde hair and wasn’t supposed to be there and we had to remove her and hide her as people were looking to harm her, and then I woke up lol.
What does this dream mean? can someone help me Ive been thinking about this dream all day!

I had kinda the best dream of my life but very confusing. It all started as me with a bunch of other guys as my age but we were in some sort of a school; not an ordinary school, it had lots of crystal and light blue colors but I couldn’t understand where o what was were I was, I just knew it was a school while I was walking with my tray with the others. Then I don’t remember this part much but from it, what I remember is me going through some kinda tests (I don’t know what it really was) with the other guys but we started to have blood on our faces and lots of wounds. Some of the “theachers” who were taking us through the places told us to wait in some sort of a 2nd floor of some dusty place, it was a really small room and we were all sat with our blood from the wounds on our faces and none of us said a word through a long time until an old woman came into the room (she looked in her 50’ 60’s) and gave us a little talk I don’t remember but I noticed the guys in my room weren’t exactly my age and some still were children and I had a lot of fear that moment cause one of them even had a coloring book and I couldn’t believe what had happened. Time passed (I don’t really remember what happened through time but it seemed like three months or something) and there was some sort of special religious mass on a public church but the people who gave it were different (they were dressed in black) and I told my mom we should sit outside cause I just remembered that all that happened to me was because of that church a year ago= they said something about picking some people to form part of their black order/secret darkness (I don’t really remember the name but it was defeneitly one of them) when they said that lots of people panicked and started running out of the church and some others didn’t know what was happening and I saw everyone running so I did too but a man dressed in black caught me and took me with them with the other guys and that’s how all that torturing with the children happened to me.
So, in this same day but a year later I told my mom we should sit outside because these were bad people believe it or not and at some point of the mass they were going to do a trapping of all of us and that we would have to run, my mom got it and we sat outside. Durning the church somebody called my mom and I didn’t care much until I heard the conversation, it was one of the black dressed men who called her (I don’t know how they had her number, knew her name and everything else, I was really traumatized and scared) he was telling her if she wanted to join them cause needed a woman to do some job with them and that she was going to get well paid and my mom was saying some tricky things (like conditions of she worked with them or something) and the conversation ended up in confusion so nobody got to an agreement and I was relieved. I turned back and saw through the glass of the church one of those men in direction to us, just standing there with a phone in his hand and I figured out it was the man who called my mom. We kept in the church until the moment came, we were the first ones to run and luckily we found an uncle of my mom who lived just near the church and she let us stay in her house but my mom’s husband had my two baby brothers in the car and he came to the house, he parked the car in front of the house and my mom started to unfasten their seat belts but they were too tight so we had to unbuckle all the seat to take it with us cause the front house gate started to open and a man yelled to us, and we knew it was one of them, and we got the babies, I was the first one to enter the house and I pressed the hay button so that it started to close cause the man was already out of his house and everyone was still running on the street and the environment was really tense. The we all got to be safe in the house and all doors locked

Maybe something sinful came across you, maybe you could try to change it.
Abelie says
I have dreams like 4 times a year where I am using magic but it’s very weak. Like once I was using it to the shoelaces on rollar skates and it was barely pulling them tight and I knew that I had magic and so did the other kids and I wasn’t sure why it wasn’t working but they made fun of me. Same thing last night I was on a mountain and these brothers (fire and ice) had divided the mountain and fire was evil and I had ice powers and I was trying to frost something to see if I could and it would just make a couple foams come out.
What is this???
PS
I have insanely vivid (yet rarely lucid) dreams basically every night and I remember almost all of them and I had a nightmare every night until I was six and I had one good one and now they’re all just weird with an occasional bad. Magic and other worlds and spies and memory erasure and kidnappings are all very normal.
Null says
i had a dream where i was in an unfamiliar gigantic room kinda like Colosseum sized but with a roof and made purely of quarts along with a massive crystal in the center that changed colors every so often and i was sitting next to it speaking a language i do not know all i felt from the dream was energy moving faster than rapid water running thru me and the sound was of an ocarina playing festival songs with the gentle drip of a fountain nearby. annyone able to translate this dream ?

Drei Winchester says
I just dreamed about this but I forgot most part, it was a dream of me practicing magic somewhere not familiar, a vacant lot I pressume? Well it was hazy mostly but what strike me was how vivid and so tangible what I was doing in my dream was. I was casting magic, elemental magics to be exact. With a wave of my hand small orbs of my prefferred element would appear between my fingers which will grow in size according to my current energy. Then when I throw these orbs they would explode and create an isolated storm of elemental attribute according to the orb’s element. Then someone came he is hazy but I regarded him as a friend and I was happily showing him my magic but when I waved my hand I couldn’t create the same orb size, most I can do was orb so small nothing would happen even if I throw them. Then realizing I was tired I sat down and rested. I was alone when I realized he was gone then I woke up…. It was just so vivid.

I don’t remember much. But I was in a garden, filled with butterflies, and a cage filled with lizards and small reptiles. I had moved to a new house, a gigantic one, with a garden. There was so much. But for reasons I don’t recall, my father abandoned it. I woke up many years later in the the same house. I found butterflies in the garden. They disappeared, and I found one dead under something. And then I woke up and my mom was there. My dad walked me through an outdoor concert setup. I could only hear music, but the speakers were broken and rubble was everywhere. We went back to the house, to find that I had missed 2 more years. Everything in the house was dead. And suddenly my dad and mom left and I only kept finding animals as I explored then I got a job about selling chocolate, in the very same house, though no one was there in that house anymore. And I went to a room, finding a spell was cast and made my”father” a minister of a country even though there was no one in the house anymore. It was found on the walls. All I know for sure is that everything was dead or destroyed when I woke up and no one I knew existed. My family had a different job than I was hoping they would end up in. And a different family. And I kept exploring the rooms to find a spell was cast yet in a familiar room. By a fairy. And I so regretted not seeing anything to the point that there was an intense feeling I couldn’t understand. But it wasn’t a good feeling. And none of the dreams my family had were accomplished even though we loved our garden so we gave up and cast that spell. I felt guilt, fear, confusion, disturbance, sadness (intensely) and disdain and disappointment. I wanted to go back. And fix the spell.
Lys says
There was also something else I couldn’t pinpoint in that intense feeling of regret and mourning.
