Diamonds are a symbol of wealth, strength, and power. This formidable gem has been highly coveted throughout generations. It usually stands for something tough, unbreakable, or important for you when you dream about diamonds.
What do Diamonds Represent in a Dream?
Diamonds can represent a lot of different things for you. Let’s see one by one what they could possibly symbolize, so you may be able to interpret your dream more accurately.
Symbolic of wealth
Diamonds are highly expensive, if not the most expensive gem. That being said, it would follow that it could only be afforded by people who are very rich. Dreaming about diamonds could say something about your state of wealth or your desire to be more wealthy.
Symbolic of power
Diamonds have also been symbolic of the powerful, apart from the rich. It usually follows that the very rich are the very powerful too, so it is easy to associate and interrelate wealth with power.
When you dream about diamonds, it is possible that you are thinking of how to acquire more power. You may be interrelating this too with the amount of money you possess.
Symbolic of influence
With power comes great influence. Those with power are the ones who are able to get their way most of the time. The diamond is a symbol of power and is therefore associated with influence as well.
You may be craving influence within your group of friends, your colleagues, or even your family. Or you may be enjoying a lot of it, and dreaming of it is a way that this influence is being sealed in your consciousness.
Symbolic of relationships
A diamond is also a gem that is commonly found on rings. This symbolizes relationships, and this could signify that you are craving for a relationship in your life as well. It’s either that, or you are enjoying the one that you are in the middle of right now.
Symbolic of commitment
As mentioned, diamonds are commonly found on rings. It is popular among engagement rings –the ultimate symbol of commitment.
You may be thinking a lot about commitment lately, and are wondering how it would be to be committed permanently to either a person, a work obligation or project, or a location or place of residence.
This may involve a certain situation in your life that isn’t necessarily attached to a relationship – but something that will be a bit more permanent from here on in.
Symbolic of permanence
A bit related to the previous symbol, dreaming of diamonds can also symbolize permanence. The diamond is known to last for centuries.
It doesn’t easily convert into other minerals – and if it ever does, this is a very rare occurrence. This means that a diamond is a pretty permanent gem – it will stay the way it is for a very long time.
This kind of constancy may be lacking in your life, and you may be craving for it. That is one possibility as to why you may be dreaming of diamonds.
Symbolic of toughness
It is a very hard and tough rock, and it is known to be able to break other stones easily because of its toughness. This kind of unbreakable nature makes it strong and resilient.
It doesn’t tarnish or break. This kind of toughness is a great characteristic of the diamond, and is what makes it one of the most prized and loved precious stones.
This toughness may be something you’ve observed in another person or situation and are craving it; or you may just want a similar experience in your life. If you are enjoying it now, then you are lucky and you should continue to be grateful about it.
Symbolic of a breakup
Dreaming of diamonds could also command the opposite premonition. In the same way that it means commitment, it could also mean a relationship is breaking up.
This could be for the reason that one partner is changing in ways that the other cannot keep up, and it becomes the only logical thing to do in the situation.
Symbolic of transformation
Diamonds come from the same elements that make up charcoal. In this way, diamonds also symbolize transformation.
You can feel as if you are commonplace or run-of-the-mill, but if you happen to find what makes you special and capitalize on that, you can become as precious as a diamond is.
This process of transformation and the beautiful destination is what the dream about the diamond symbolizes.
