You may dream about a fan because you are feeling hot or it’s very humid outside. An electric fan may show that you need to cool off your mind, settle down and take some time for yourself. It may also mean that you need to cut off bad thoughts and start anew.
In dreams, fanning usually represents emotions that need to be cooled off. This can happen when we are feeling overwhelmed with anger and frustration. Fanned anger will then cool off and lessen its intensity. For example, you may be trying to get rid of some type of feeling or emotion, or trying to calm someone who is experiencing an emotional storm.
