If you dream of skulls grinning at you, tension is brewing close to home — expect arguments and friction with those you live with. If you find yourself holding or handling skulls in the dream, anticipate a slowdown or contraction in your financial or professional life. Seeing the skull of someone you know suggests that a friend may cause you harm, likely driven by envy over something you've been given or chosen for ahead of them. If the skull you see is your own, the dream points inward — guilt or regret may take hold of you, leaving you feeling like a prisoner of your own past choices.
