Forgetting – Dreaming about forgetting symbolizes detachment and peace in life. While we may worry about senility in waking life, it is not something to worry about in dreams, even though worry is often associated with dreams of forgetting. If you dreamt about forgetting something important in a dream, it is a wonderful sign that you are balancing out your life by becoming detached. You may feel worry about forgetting something in your dream either during the dream or afterwards. This is the typical human response of wanting to retain attachments to this life and its memories. This feeling should be ignored.
