Ten Thousand Dream Dictionary

1- A poker obviously has links with masculinity, but also with rigidity. In dreams a poker can therefore suggest aggressive action, but also rigid attitudes and behaviour.

2- Playing a game of poker in a dream suggests that one is taking a risk in everyday life. It may be important to note who we are playing with.

3- The poker in this instance suggests rigid and unbending discipline, which is sometimes necessary in spiritual development.

My Dream Interpretation

by myjellybean
To dream that you are playing poker suggests that a situation in your waking life requires strategy and careful planning. You need to think things out before carrying out your actions.

If your dream centers around the gambling aspect of the game, you may be participating in some risk-taking activity in real life. You may be letting fate decide how things go, and not taking responsibility for your actions. Also see “Poker Chip” below.

A game of chance and skill, poker has at the heart of it the concept of a bluff, hence the term “poker face,” where your true intentions are hidden.

The game requires a great deal of patience and strategic waiting in order to accomplish something.

If a poker game is featured in your dream, look for ways in which you are hiding what you really have to offer in an effort to gain something that you desire.
