Madness dream meaning is explained below using 8 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Martha Clarke

Dreams that talk about the madness of the protagonist are not very frequent.

If this occurs, it may be an unconscious warning about your inappropriate behavior. The cause is surely the desire to stand out or be different than others, tired of the daily grind. On the other hand, dreaming that someone else is not sane reveals a serious concern. It may manifest a dangerous situation related to your finances or your family that has you very worried. This dream also warns you to care for your health.

If we dream that we chance upon a lunatic, good fortune is assured. According to some oracles, it predicts that we meet someone who will positively influence our lives and make us prosper.
