One thing that fortune tellers do is provide answers to questions that we don’t know the answer to ourselves. They may answer what your future holds, or they may provide answers to how you should handle a specific situation. Fortune telling in a dream can be seen as a representation of seeking guidance. This can be in the form of looking for help with your life choices and deciding whether or not you are making the right choice.
Another thing about fortune telling in dreams is that it often comes up when we are feeling at a loss for words. It may come up when we feel confused or ungrounded by what is happening in our lives. The reason why this might happen is because there is an underlying fear of the unknown and try to get reassurance about what will happen next, so that you can live comfortably in life without worrying about every little detail coming up.
