Receiving a card

Depending on the type of card you receive, a card in dreams is typically an omen about something that is out of your control. You will be dealt a card which could either be a blessing or a curse. If it is a birthday card, for example, then it is an allusion to a celebration. Meanwhile, a calling card could be a reminder to reach out to long-lost friends who may be feeling low and would appreciate catching up with a friend.

Being given cards with symbols

I was on a school vacation with other familiar faces of mine and we had a test in order to find out which room we were to stay in a ship for some reason. First we were given a card with a symbol and after we were given another card, but I did not understand the meaning of it. Not to forget there were other people I did not know and at some moment I made contact with a girl and moments after I felt uncomfortable and headed to a person I knew.

Being on a ship during the course of a dream vision, especially for some sort of travel, could represent standing on the precipice of major change. You probably already know it is coming, as the idea of this vacation being related to school could indicate the presence of stress or apprehension. Your difficulty with the test symbolically shows your excitement or optimism about the possibilities this change holds, but feeling uncomfortable around strangers suggests you may not feel ready, in some way, to handle a big shift. It seems that this dream is the manifestation of your conflicting feelings and should be considered a sign to sit down and think carefully about what you want for the future.

A greeting card about a new home

My dream was I opened a pop-up card which was lovely, floral and just so beautiful. It had a hanging heart decoration which said "New home".

Receiving a beautiful greeting card in a dream vision suggests you are open to the possibilities the future holds for you. Your naturally adventurous spirit and willingness to try new things may even be inviting such opportunities to you as a beacon or a magnet. The idea that this was for a new house may be an indication that a special chance or position is on the horizon which, if taken advantage of, could lead to even bigger and better rewards.

A deck of cards with a death message

I had a dream about a deck of cards, the card on top had "Enjoy your afterlife" written on it. I am male.

The image of a deck of cards in your dream represents important milestones or major life decisions you would have to make throughout the course of your life. Overtime each moment would stack up to reveal what you have accomplished in your lifetime. What you did with the deck of cards, as well as the types of cards present, would give you further clues about what your priorities are and whether your journey would be smooth or tumultuous. In that context, the message about your afterlife is probably your subconscious reminding you to make the most of your existence because at the end of it all, that is when you would feel either fulfilled and happy or filled with regret about missed opportunities.

Deck of cards

Dreams involving a deck of cards can hold varying interpretations. If you are watching the deck being used, it may symbolize uncertainty in your future or circumstances. It hints at risks and unpredictability in your life. However, if you are playing with the deck, it can signify your active involvement in shaping your destiny. You are willing to take chances and make decisions. The specific cards and the game being played within the dream provide additional clues. A bad hand could indicate a need for caution, while a winning hand suggests that your choices and efforts are aligning favorably with your life's current circumstances.
