Is dreaming about honey a sign of good luck?
Last Tuesday night, I had an exceptionally vivid dream: golden honey was everywhere—dripping onto the table, the floor, even coating my cat-patterned gloves! When I woke up, I felt sticky all over, my mind a bit muddled. Suddenly, I remembered my eccentric aunt who always claimed, “Dreaming about honey is good luck.” A question popped into my head: Is that really true? Or was she just saying it casually? I decided to test it myself.
How did I start recording this dream?
I have a little habit: every morning when I open my eyes, I grab the old notebook by my bed and jot down my dreams. That day, I wrote in detail:
- The honey felt warm to the touch (a bit odd)
- The air smelled of pine trees
- The honey flowed incredibly fast, like motor oil
- My cat (I call her Mittens) was licking her paws in the dream, as if she’d gotten honey on them too
After writing it down, I opened my laptop while eating breakfast cereal and searched “what does dreaming about honey mean.” Most websites said: “Honey = sweetness, abundance, good luck.” It sounded nice, but I didn’t quite buy into these “one-size-fits-all answers.” I wanted to know: What did this dream mean specifically for me?
I Ran a Little Experiment
I set myself three simple tasks:
- Record my dreams immediately upon waking each day—so no details slipped away
- Notice honey in my real life—like buying locally sourced honey at the supermarket
- Record every “small stroke of luck” that happened that day—no matter how minor, jot it down
Surprisingly, things really started shifting.
Those “Coincidences” Left Me a Bit Stunned
On day three, I found a $20 bill in the pocket of my winter coat—money I’d completely forgotten was there!
On day five, after reviewing my report, my boss actually said: This is much better than I expected!”
The most magical part: On Thursday night, I dreamed I was drinking a “Honeycomb Latte,” and when I went to the coffee shop on Friday, the barista actually upgraded me to a large size for free!
Individually, these might not seem like much, but taken together, I started wondering: Could dreaming about honey have made me more willing to notice the good things in life? Or even actively seize opportunities?
The Moment I Truly Understood
About two weeks later, I noticed a pattern: every time I dreamed about honey, I became more open and receptive to new experiences.
For instance, after dreaming of honey cascading like a waterfall, my friend Sam invited me to a barbecue. I’d usually decline, but that day I accepted. At the gathering, I met someone skilled with computers who fixed my lagging laptop for free!
That’s when I realized:
- The dream itself doesn’t “bring” good luck
- But it makes me more attentive to the good things already present in life
- And this positive feeling snowballs, growing bigger and bigger
The True Lesson Honey Taught Me
Turns out, dreaming about honey isn’t some mystical omen or magic. It’s more like my brain gently reminding me: Hey, there’s plenty of sweetness in life—have you noticed?”
Since then, whenever I stumble upon little joys—like brilliant sunshine, the aroma of fresh coffee, or a task completed smoothly—I silently thank my subconscious. Even on stressful days, I brew a cup of hot tea and add a spoonful of real honey. Not to “invite good fortune,” but to remind myself: life isn’t all that bitter.
Interestingly, even my cat Mittens seems happier—I used that “found” $20 to buy her new toys and treats. Now, whenever she spots the honey jar (though she can’t have any), she wags her tail as if she too senses that “sweetness.”
So, is dreaming about honey a good sign?
The answer is: its meaning doesn’t depend on the dream itself, but on how you think and act after waking up.
If you dream of honey, don’t rush to look up “Is this good luck?” Try this instead:
- Write down the dream
- Ask yourself: “Have I been overlooking life’s little joys lately?”
- Actively do one small thing that makes you happy
You’ll discover that true “good fortune” is actually your willingness to see and believe in beauty. Honey is just a gentle reminder your heart sends itself.
