Dream of a Friend
A friend in a dream is a mirror of how things stand between you and others. An old friend appearing was read as longing, or as a sign that word from that person is coming, and setting off somewhere together is a good omen of new cooperation. Arguing with a friend does not forecast a real quarrel; it signals something left unsaid. A friend drifting away means you are feeling the distance yourself. Reaching out to check on them is worth doing regardless.
A dream about a friend is more often a reflection of how you are getting on with people now than of anything happening to that friend. Traditional reading treated a friend as a place where you see yourself, and separated the meanings by how you got on. Someone you have not seen in years turning up is common.
Readings by Situation
An old friend appearing
Either longing, or a sign that word from that person is coming. Tradition read an old friend appearing as a tie reconnecting. It is a good time to reach out.
Setting off somewhere together
A good omen of new cooperation. Tradition read walking a road together as minds meeting. If you have something joint ahead, this reads well.
Arguing with a friend
A sign of something left unsaid. It is not a forecast of a real quarrel. Tradition too read a quarrel with someone close as the relationship deepening a layer.
A friend drifting away
Your friend is walking away with their back to you. It is not a forecast of an actual parting but the mind noticing first that the contact between you has thinned.
A friend dream does not forecast anything that will happen to that person. It is a scene drawn by what you feel among people. How you stood with them in the dream tells you what you have been wanting from people lately.
