Devil

Interpretation

Meeting the devil in a dream can be surprisingly hopeful. Rather than signaling doom, it often indicates success in trade or ambitious ventures, especially when you recognize and channel your competitive fire. The devil personifies the parts of you willing to bargain for advancement; awareness allows you to negotiate with integrity.

If you flee from the devil, the dream points to quarrels or conflicts where fear of confrontation keeps you from stating your terms. Standing your ground reflects confidence in your ethics and savvy. The encounter invites you to examine where ambition aligns with your values and where it strays.

Common Meanings

• Shaking hands: Accepting a deal that tests your boundaries
• Running away: Avoiding necessary conversations about power
• Outsmarting the devil: Transforming temptation into strategic success

Cultural Context

Across folklore, the devil challenges heroes to know themselves. Stories of bargains gone wrong also remind listeners to stay vigilant. Your dream leans on that archetype, urging you to harness ambition without sacrificing what matters most.
