Hanging in dreams mainly stands for something that has been left 'hanging', unfinished in the waking life - therefore an unsolved conflict, an uncompleted situation etc. Such a dream image usually relates to feelings of instability, insecurity and unsteadiness. You oscillate in the waking life between things, you lack determination and steadfastness.

If in your dream you meticulously sort and hang up clothes, this is a positive dream image and stands for your determination to put an order in things in your life.

Hanging in dreams may also be an advice that someone should get a different perspective on things or on a certain situation.

If you see yourself or someone else hanged in a dream, this is not necessarily a bad dream omen. It relates to the end of a stage or period in your waking life and heading for new, promising horizons. To be hanged in your own dream should not be interpreted as a premonitory dream, at least not in that which concerns your actual death in the waking life. Dreams in which you see yourself dying are metaphors for great changes which are going to occur or must necessarily be made in real life. You must remove certain external factors or solve conflicts which contribute to your emotional imbalance. Therefore, do not wake up alarmed and frightened after such a dream - instead, try putting things in order in your life and eliminate all that causes you to accumulate negative energy and stands in your way towards attaining a general equilibrium.
