Photographs are our opportunity to stop time, to snatch a particularly happy or important memory from the chain of events. Why do you dream about photographs: the dream book will help you find the answer to this question. In reality, photographs reinforce memories, which is why they are especially dear to us. But what is the meaning of the photographs that we take or look at in our dreams? A variety of details will help you better understand the meaning of the dream, so let's get down to its interpretation.
If you dreamed of photographs, this may symbolize your desire to see the situation from the outside or stop time.
Interpretation of the meaning of a dream depending on its details
If you dreamed of a photograph, the dream book says that it symbolizes your desire to take a detached look at the situation, to see things as they are. Perhaps it seems to you that you are being treated dishonestly, or you do not understand the motives for the behavior of loved ones. The dream in which you looked at or took photographs will help you understand what to expect and what events to fear in the future. In a dream, you can look at your own and other people's images, take photographs, develop film, save photos on your computer, and much more.
What actions did you perform in the dream?
Seeing photographs in a dream and looking at them means some serious changes are expected in your life. Going through photo albums, putting pictures in them - organizing your life. In the near future, only pleasant events and joyful meetings await you.
Taking photographs in a dream means that you determine your own destiny. Such a dream portends good luck for you, even if you encounter obstacles on your way, you will come out of any situation with honor. Printing the photographs taken means finding out what is being hidden from you. You are very perceptive and notice the smallest details. This will help you understand what is happening and take the right steps.
In a dream you see a large number of photographs - an eventful life awaits you; frequent moves are possible, a change in type of activity, social circle, interests. Seeing torn photographs in a dream means that some situations cannot be repeated, no matter how much effort you make.
What was shown in these photographs?
Why do you dream about your photographs? You tend to analyze your actions. You doubt whether you did the right thing. A positive dream speaks of the right path. Did the dream leave you with unpleasant feelings? Perhaps the way you are living now is not the best choice. Think about what you could change for the better in your life. If you show your photos to other people, this means that a lot now depends on those around you in your life.

Have you seen modern or old photographs?
If you dreamed of photographs depicting recent events, you live in the present and do not cling to the past. Old Soviet photographs foreshadow changes in life. Well-preserved photographs symbolize prosperity and happy events. If the cards were dirty and torn, life experience has taught you nothing, expect unpleasant events.
Why do you dream about old photographs? Black and white, weathered cards will make you remember significant events from your past. If they depict elderly members of your family, this may be a sign of important events in their lives.
Where exactly did you see the memorable pictures?
Photos printed on paper characterize you as a fairly open and friendly person. You are honest with others, and this attracts people to you. Images stored on a computer indicate a closed character and a reluctance to involve others in the details of your life.
Church opinion
Photographing newborn babies is also prohibited in many religions. In Islam you cannot even draw images of people, let alone take photographs. As for Christianity, there is no direct prohibition, but it is not recommended to photograph children until the moment of baptism. Together with the sacrament of baptism, the child receives powerful protection in the person of a guardian angel, and until this moment the soul is weak and vulnerable. Therefore, taking a photograph can harm a fragile baby.
In earlier times in Europe there was a custom of photographing dead people in order to then show descendants what their relative looked like. It was then that a belief appeared warning of the death of the one who was filmed in a dream.
After the sacrament of baptism, you can take photographs of sleeping people. Christians are confident that higher powers will be able to protect the child from any harm, including from the harmful actions of sorcerers.
Practical guidelines for interpretation
Next, we will give some recommendations for interpreting a dream about photography. Astrologers recommend taking into account not only the details of the dream itself, but also the position of the moon.
Assessing the feasibility of a dream on January 27, 2022
, according to the website Gadalkin House.
Today is Thursday, the Waning 4th quarter from January 25 16:42, the Night Sun entered the 1st house. If you had a dream on another day, you can look at the recommendations in this table
. Now let's look at the main indicators of today that influence the interpretation, according to astrologers.
| Probability that the dream will come true: no more than 50% | |
| Index | Guidelines for interpretation |
| Day of week: Thursday | Try to remember everything that you dreamed about on the night from Wednesday to Thursday as accurately as possible - pay attention to small, at first glance, insignificant details. Most likely, the interpretation of today’s dream will be somehow connected with your personal life or some hidden desires. |
| Lunar day: 25th | 25 Lunar day. Today is the day of prophetic dreams. Much of what you saw this night may come true in real life in the next lunar month. It’s more difficult with those dreams that you don’t want to come true. To avoid such a dream coming true, wash your face with cold water and whisper “The water has flown and the dream has gone.” |
| Moon in sign: Sagittarius (29°38'33"); | Sagittarius - in the case of dream interpretation, symbolizes the progress of relationships, the achievement of goals and a successful combination of circumstances. If you have come across something similar among the interpretations, take note. |
| Phase: Waning 4th quarter | Waning moon. Whatever the interpretation of the dream, keep in mind that this period is characterized by a loss of strength and energy. The person becomes more passive and tired. If there are some global projects coming up or active actions are required from you, put things off until the period of the waxing moon. |
What psychics say
Esotericists and magicians are inclined to give a negative answer to the question of whether it is possible to photograph children while they sleep sweetly. Each person has a personal aura; in a child it is still unstable due to his young age. The photograph taken can harm the flow of energy.
In addition, sorcerers claim that any photo can influence human health. A photograph of a baby that ends up in the wrong hands will bring a lot of troubles and misfortunes to the child and his parents. For this reason, you should not show photographs of babies to strangers or post them on social networks.
Interpretation of sleep in various dream books: Miller, Vanga, Freud, Modern
As you can see, photographs in dreams have many interpretations, but all of them are somehow connected with the dreamer’s inner world. If you had such a dream, you need to take time to understand yourself and make the right decision. This is the general interpretation of a dream about photographs, but there are also nuances. So let's see how the compilers of famous dream books explain this dream.
Miller's Dream Book - You Can Be Deceived
- How did Gustav Miller interpret the photographs he saw in his dream? In his opinion, such dreams clearly indicate that you will become a victim of deception.
- If the photo shows your loved one, he is probably not being honest with you;
- For a family person, photographs foreshadow the exposure of loved ones who actually treat you negatively.
- Why do you dream about your own photograph in a dream - to the frustration that the dreamer can bring to himself and his loved ones.
Vanga's dream book - it's time to change your life
According to this dream book, a photograph of yourself cannot be a happy omen.
You feel unfulfilled either at work or at home. You are very irritable, everything literally falls out of your hands. You need to reconsider your life, perhaps think about changing your job or place of residence. According to Vanga’s dream book, a photograph of yourself in a dream is a sign that you are dissatisfied with life.
Perhaps the marriage you entered into has run its course, or you have realized that the person you once loved is not at all the one with whom you would like to spend your life. One way or another, you have to carefully understand yourself, your desires, and fears.
Seeing an image of a friend means that you are worried about the fate of this person. If in a dream you saw a stranger in a photograph, but were firmly convinced that it was someone close to you, serious events will happen to someone dear to you.
A torn photograph promises trouble. Sad news may come, perhaps even the disappearance of one of your relatives. A photograph disappeared in a dream - you have taken the wrong steps, which will now result in sad consequences for you. However, when trying to reduce harm, do not resort to illegal methods - by doing this you will completely deprive yourself of the chance for a favorable outcome.
Why dream of showing photographs to people - you are open to everyone around you, very trusting and childish. You should be careful when communicating with others. Not everyone wants you to be happy. You will always find the necessary support from your family.
Freud's Dream Book - you are too self-centered
If in a dream you see a photograph of yourself, this is a sign of your increased attention to yourself and your actions. Being the center of your worries and thoughts, you forget about those around you. Sooner or later, they may answer you in kind. If you dream about the process of photographing, the people around you understand perfectly well what to expect from you. If you look at photographs in albums, in reality you will meet an interesting person who will completely take over your thoughts.
Modern dream book - your feelings are not mutual
Looking at your photograph in a dream is a risk of being deceived in personal relationships. Looking at the image of your beloved means your feelings are not mutual; perhaps your chosen one is driven by motives of personal gain. Seeing other people's pictures means learning about the bad qualities of a loved one. Taking pictures yourself is a sign of misfortune that could happen to you or someone close to you.
Reasons for the ban
In the modern world, taking a photo is as easy as shelling pears - just take out your phone and the photo is ready. However, many parents, wanting to capture the touching appearance of a sleeping baby, do not think that this could harm him. In ancient times, our ancestors were wary of such things for many reasons.
Hypnos and Thanatos - twin brothers
The argument in the debate that one should not photograph a sleeping child is the belief of esotericists that sleep and death are similar. In Greek mythology, the god of death Thanatos is the brother of the god of sleep Hypnos. The close connection between sleep and death is evidenced by the similarity of the state: motionless and relaxed posture, closed eyes.
Because of this connection, it is believed that photographing a small child while sleeping means hastening death. According to signs, if the photograph is blurry or there is a white spot near the sleeping person, then this means imminent death or serious illness of the person depicted in the picture.
Losing an Angel
Another proof that baby photos can cause harm is the loss of an angel. A sharp click of a camera or a bright flash can frighten the guardian angel who invisibly protects peace, and a person will lose his protector. Of course, this will not cause death or illness, but it can lead to the fact that troubles will constantly happen to the baby.
The sleeper will not wake up
In ancient times, it was believed that during sleep a person’s soul leaves the body, going on a journey, and comes back at the moment of awakening. If a sleeping person is awakened suddenly, the soul may not have time to return. Because of this, a person will have difficulties with mental health, he will be haunted by illness and even death.
Taking photographs of sleeping newborn babies is a bad omen that promises misfortune. If the click of a camera or extraneous sounds during shooting abruptly snatch the baby from Morpheus’s arms, then the young and fragile soul will not have time to return.
Stolen Destiny
In earlier times, people believed that a person could be influenced by his image. Those who photograph babies should know that a photo in the wrong hands can turn out to be a powerful magical tool.
Children before baptism are especially sensitive to negative energy. The child’s face, clearly captured in the photograph, is a “gift” for black sorcerers. In ancient times, they tried to save babies who were very sick or in danger by finding a “donor” - an image of a healthy child. With its help, black rituals were performed that made it possible to steal fate and health and transfer them to another newborn.
Rational explanation
The ban on photographing sleeping children also has a logical explanation. In the first years of life, babies are very weak and vulnerable, and even the slightest impact on them can lead to dire consequences. No matter how beautiful a sleeping baby may look, you need to remember that the sound of a click can frighten the baby, cause stuttering or sleep problems.
Every parent has the desire to photograph a peacefully resting child. The moment when the newborn is calm and relaxed, you want to capture it and bring it back after a while, remembering how cute and tiny the child was. However, beliefs recommend not to do this, as there is a chance of scaring or harming the baby. If the photo is taken, such photographs should not be shown to anyone, much less put on public display on the Internet.
Why do you dream about taking pictures of yourself, another person, people?
Did you dream that you were taking a selfie? In reality, do the stupidest thing and cause a lot of pain to others. If you are photographed, you will soon experience fiery love without reciprocity, or you will become the object of other people’s claims.
Seeing yourself in a photo means that you will cause a lot of trouble through negligence. You can photograph familiar people and friends in a dream before a major disappointment in them. Did you dream that you took a photo of a familiar character? This is an omen of an imminent separation.
