Madness in a dream: meaning

What dream books say

Madness in a dream is read as the fear of losing your grip, or as a wild part of you that refuses ordinary rules. Tradition finds both a sign of strain and a hidden freedom in it. Being called mad by others points to feeling misunderstood, while watching someone else lose their mind suggests chaos in a relationship. Feeling calm amid the madness is read as clarity others cannot yet see. It can help to ask where life asks you to be more reasonable than you feel.
