Dreaming of being abandoned might signify the need to discard past emotions and traits hindering personal growth. Release outdated attitudes to move forward. A more direct interpretation implies fear of desertion, abandonment, or betrayal, stemming from recent losses or a fear of losing loved ones. This fear could be a part of the healing process or coping with loss. It might also trace back to unresolved childhood matters. Alternatively, the dream suggests feeling neglected or overlooked, urging you to embrace life with "reckless abandon" and greater freedom. Abandoning others in a dream may reflect feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges and decisions.
