The Big Dictionary of Dreams

by Martha Clarke
Mist is a symbol of the indeterminate, of the fusion of the air and water elements, of each stage of evolution. In oneiric terms, fog symbolizes the fears and anxieties stored in the depths of the unconscious.

It is therefore not the best time to undertake a new initiative, since you have an unclear understanding of the situation. Likewise, you must not forget that mist is usually associated with gray, i.e., the symbol of indifference and a lack of determination. To dream of this color may be a warning that a crisis of values lies ahead. You may not see things clearly or as they really are. This disorientation can end if you try to be more energetic and decisive.

If the fog is dense, the omens are disadvantageous.

If it is clearing up, you will obtain success.
