Chair in a dream: meaning

What dream books say

A chair is read as your place — in a family, a job, a group. An empty chair is the classic image of an absence, often of someone missed or gone. Being unable to find a seat is linked to feeling left out or not yet settled, while a comfortable chair points to rest and security. A broken chair is read as a position that feels unstable. Someone taking your chair suggests rivalry or the fear of being replaced. A throne-like chair stands for authority. The dream may ask where you feel you truly belong at the moment.
