Witch — Dream Meaning
Power, unofficial — witches mean knowledge outside institutions, counsel in cottages, and gifts reclassified as threats by frightened villages.
What it means to dream about witch
A witch is power in its female, unofficial form: knowledge kept outside the institutions, feared accordingly by every century that dreamed her. In dreams she divides by her errand — the wise woman (the grandmother's shadow-sister: healing, counsel, the craft of herbs and timings, consulted when the official authorities have failed or overcharged), the persecutor (the fairy tale's oven-keeper: malice in a cottage, appetite for the young and lost), and the self as witch (the dreamer's own unofficial power claiming its portrait: the intuition, the craft, the refusal to ask the village for permission).
Flying, in the witch's entry, belongs to her by copyright: the broom is dreamland's oldest personal aircraft, and its flights are filed under freedom with a reputation. Being accused of witchcraft is the reputation family's historical nightmare: the village turning on its healer — the dream of everyone whose gifts have ever been reclassified as threats by a frightened audience.

DreamDictionary readings draw on traditional folklore and modern dream psychology. They are prompts for reflection, not predictions — the feeling a dream leaves you with is usually its most honest part.
