Discover the dream symbol interpretation and spiritual meaning

Western/Modern

Dreaming of a hanger implies that you are learning to deal with something which could be dealing with life or a problem. If you witness a hanging it symbolizes characteristics that you want to get rid of in yourself. If you are hanging clothes in your dream denotes that you are clearing your mind or parts of your identity. If you are hanging upside down it reflects feelings and situations in your life, a symbol to become grounded.

Hindu

Dreaming of being hanged in a positive omen, predicting that you will rise in society and become wealthy.

Islamic (Ibn Sirin)

In a dream, to see someone or oneself being brought to the gallows to be hung means malice, rejoicing at the misfortune of others, fame or perhaps it could mean rising in station. Consequently, if one's condition in the dream does not change to worst, then his dream could mean slander or backbiting, unless his retribution is held for a crime he committed in the dream, then the dream means satisfying one's debts.
