My Dream Interpretation

by myjellybean
A dream about a promise is related to friends, and its meaning depends whether you gave or received the promise.

If you gave it, you are likely to forgive an enemy and gain a friend.

If you were unable to keep a promise you gave, you are not ready to forgive somebody, even though you might want to.

If someone made you a promise, an unexpected event will reveal that a so-called friend is really an enemy.

The Big Dictionary of Dreams

by Martha Clarke
If the dreamer sees herself making a promise, the dream reveals either the need to reaffirm a commitment or fear of breaching it.

If someone promises something to you it indicates your distrust and the feeling of insecurity that such promise produces on you.

Islamic Dream Interpretation

by Ibn Seerin
(Debt, Pledge) Making a promise in a dream means indebtedness to the second party.

If one also fulfills his promise in the dream, it denotes his true intention, faith and certitude. Making a good promise in a dream means blessings, profits and longevity. Receiving a good promise from one’s enemy, or opponent in a dream means evil. Receiving a bad promise from one’s enemy in a dream means good.

A promise in a dream is a good deed.

The recipient of the promise in wakefulness is the one who makes that pledge in the dream.
