Have you ever woken up after a strange dream and wondered what number it could represent? Dream numbers have been associated with Fafi in South Africa for generations, with players using different objects, people, animals and events from their dreams to choose numbers.
Our Fafi Dream Guide makes it easy to turn some of the most common dreams into numbers from 1 to 52. Whether you dreamed about snakes, money, rain, falling, a wedding, a car or even being chased, you can look for the main symbol in your dream and find its associated Fafi number below.
Remember that dream guides are based on tradition and interpretation. There is no evidence that dreaming about a particular symbol can predict which number will come up. Think of this guide as a fun way of choosing your Fafi or lucky numbers rather than a way of predicting a result.
How Does a Fafi Dream Guide Work?
The basic idea behind a Fafi dream guide is simple. You remember the most important objects, people or events from your dream and translate them into numbers.
For example, perhaps you dreamed that you were driving a car through heavy rain before finding some money. Instead of trying to find one description matching the entire dream, break it into its main parts:
Car: 11
Rain: 26
Money: 34
Your dream numbers could therefore be 11, 26 and 34.
Dreams can be complicated, so don’t worry if you cannot find an exact match. Focus on the strongest or most memorable parts of the dream and look for the closest symbols in the guide.
Fafi Nature and Weather Dream Numbers
Dreams about the natural world are extremely common. Water, mountains, storms and other natural events can often be some of the strongest images we remember after waking up.
Ocean or Waves: 16
Table Mountain: 1
Rain: 26
Bushveld: 2
Sunshine: 27
Veld: 3
Snow: 28
Drakensberg: 4
Fire or Burning: 29
Storm: 38
Clouds: 39
Garden Route: 5
Mountains: 40
Cape Winelands: 6
River: 41
Lake: 42
Forest: 43
Nighttime: 44
Stars: 45
Moon: 46
Sun: 47
Lightning: 28
Thunder: 29
Volcano: 30
Earthquake: 31
Rainbow: 27
Birds: 50
Insects: 51
Butterfly: 52
Sundowner: 7
If one particular element dominated your dream, that may be the number you choose. If several appeared, you can look at each of their associated numbers.
Fafi Dreams About Feelings and Life Events
Some dreams aren’t about a particular object at all. Instead, you might remember what was happening or how the dream made you feel.
Flying: 7
Falling: 4
Being Chased: 9
Writing an Exam or Test: 10
Being Naked in Public: 5
Being Late: 8
Losing Your Voice: 3
Losing Money: 2
Climbing Stairs: 6
Escaping: 17
Being Lost: 23
Running: 24
Winning a Prize: 25
Flying Too Close to the Sun: 33
Chasing Animals: 1
Falling in Love: 6
Broken Promises: 7
Losing a Job: 8
Fighting: 12
Arguing: 13
Being Invisible: 21
Dancing: 23
Singing: 24
Free Falling: 32
Escaping Danger: 33
Confrontation: 34
Unexpected Journey: 49
Spiritual Awakening: 52
Township: 8
Beach: 13
Market: 14
City: 9
These types of dreams can sometimes be harder to interpret because the same dream can mean very different things to different people. For Fafi purposes, concentrate on what actually happened rather than trying to analyse every emotion behind it.
Transformation and Identity Dream Numbers
Dreams involving changes to your appearance, death, mirrors or becoming somebody else can be particularly memorable.
Teeth Falling Out: 12
Death: 13
Broken Mirror: 30
Mirror: 17
Changing Identity: 39
Changing Appearance: 40
Emptiness: 35
Feeling Full: 36
Secret Room: 5
Transformation: 51
Mask: 16
Protea Flower: 17
Ubuntu: 18
Shadow: 19
A dream about death doesn’t necessarily have to be interpreted literally. Dream guides traditionally associate all kinds of unusual events and symbols with numbers, which is why even unsettling dreams can appear in a Fafi guide.
Supernatural Fafi Dream Numbers
Ghosts, ancestors and other supernatural experiences are another popular category in dream guides.
Snake: 18
Ghost: 2
Haunted House: 3
Supernatural Event: 18
UFO: 19
Alien: 20
Speaking in Tongues: 22
Pirate: 37
Time Travel: 41
Teleportation: 42
Legendary Creature: 44
Magic: 46
Vuvuzela: 20
Ancestor: 21
Ancestral Vision: 21
Mandela: 22
Shaman: 24
Spiritual Vision: 52
If you dreamed about several supernatural symbols, look at them individually. For example, a dream involving a snake inside a haunted house could give you 18 and 3 rather than trying to find a single number for the entire dream.
Home, Family and Social Dream Numbers
Everyday life provides plenty of material for our dreams. Family members, pets, houses, celebrations and people from our past can all suddenly appear while we’re asleep.
Dog: 21
Cat: 14
House: 15
Door: 19
Bridge: 20
Baby: 31
Wedding: 32
Returning Home: 9
Reunion: 10
Celebration: 11
Family Gathering: 14
Old Friend: 15
Stranger: 16
Celebrity: 43
Festival: 26
Unexpected Reunion: 45
Braai: 25
Party: 26
Sokkie: 27
Rugby Match: 28
Church: 33
You don’t necessarily have to know why a particular person appeared in your dream. If an old friend was the part that stood out most strongly, for example, you could simply use the number associated with an old friend.
Money, Cars and Everyday Objects
Some of the easiest dreams to translate into Fafi numbers involve everyday objects. These are often much simpler to identify than abstract feelings.
Driving a Car: 11
Clock: 48
Watch: 49
Finding Money: 34
Finding Keys: 35
Finding Treasure: 36
Musical Instrument: 25
Lost Belongings: 37
Recovered Belongings: 38
Mystery Door: 47
Secret Message: 48
Train Station: 35
Bus Ride: 36
Street Art: 37
Smartphone: 38
Money: 39
Beads: 40
Traditional Instrument: 41
Food or Recipe: 42
If you dreamed about finding a wallet full of money, for example, you might decide that “finding money” is the closest match and use 34.

How to Turn a Complicated Dream Into Fafi Numbers
You don’t need to find one entry that describes your entire dream. In fact, breaking a dream into individual pieces is usually much easier.
Imagine you dreamed that you were being chased by a dog through a forest while carrying money.
There are four obvious symbols:
Being Chased: 9
Dog: 21
Forest: 43
Money: 39
That gives you four possible Fafi dream numbers, 9, 21, 39 and 43.
You could then decide which part of the dream felt most important to you. Perhaps the dog was what you remembered most clearly, in which case 21 might be your main dream number.
Can Fafi Dream Numbers Predict the Result?
No. A Fafi dream guide cannot tell you which number is going to come up next.
Dream guides are a traditional method of giving meaning to dreams and turning them into numbers. They can make choosing numbers more interesting and personal, but every result remains unpredictable.
If you dreamed about a snake and your dream guide gives you 18, that doesn’t mean 18 is more likely to come up because of your dream.
This is important to remember when using any lucky numbers or Fafi dream guide.
Why Are There Different Fafi Dream Guides?
You may notice that the same dream doesn’t always have the same number when you compare different Fafi guides.
That’s normal.
Dream guides have been passed around and adapted over many years, and different versions can associate different numbers with the same dream. Some guides may call themselves Fafi guides, Mo China dream guides, Chinese dream guides or simply lucky numbers dream guides.
The principle is generally the same. You take something memorable from your dream and find the number traditionally associated with it.
For that reason, it’s usually better to stick with one guide rather than comparing several guides until you find the number you want.
Fafi Numbers Are From 1 to 52
An important thing to remember when using our Best Sports Betting Fafi Dream Guide is that we’ve kept all the dream numbers within a range of 1 to 52.
If you’ve found another dream guide online containing numbers such as 80, 100 or 140, don’t use those numbers directly with this guide. Different guides and different types of lucky numbers betting can use different number ranges.
Every dream symbol listed on this page has therefore been assigned a number no higher than 52.
What If My Dream Isn’t in the Guide?
Dreams can get seriously weird, so there’s no realistic way to list absolutely everything someone could dream about.
Start by simplifying your dream.
If you dreamed about driving your grandmother’s old red car along a mountain road while a storm approached, don’t search for that entire sentence. Break it down into car, grandmother, mountain, road and storm.
You can then look for the symbols that appear in the Fafi Dream Guide and decide which ones best represent what you remember.
If there’s a dream you think we should add to the Best Sports Betting Fafi Dream Guide, leave us a comment with what you dreamed about and we’ll see if we can find a suitable number for it.
Best Sports Betting’s Thoughts
Fafi dream guides remain an interesting part of South African betting culture, and there’s something much more personal about choosing a number because of a dream you had the night before instead of simply picking one at random.
Whether you dreamed about money, snakes, falling, rain, a wedding, your family or something completely bizarre, start by breaking the dream into its simplest parts. You can then use our Fafi Dream Guide to find the numbers from 1 to 52 associated with those symbols.
Just remember that dream numbers don’t predict what will happen next. They’re a traditional and entertaining way of choosing numbers, and Fafi and lucky numbers betting should always be treated as entertainment.
