In Chinese tradition · 周公解梦 · 戒
周公解梦 reads the ring as a circle of union and promise — to receive one marks a bond or agreement forming, to lose one a tie loosening or a commitment in doubt. The unbroken circle is constancy.

Dreaming about a ring
A reading for meaning, not prophecy
A ring is read as commitment and a bond unbroken — in the East a union or promise (戒), in the West wholeness and the pledged Self, in Ibn Sirin's tradition authority, marriage, or a matter held in hand.
Three readings
In Western psychology · Jungian
Jung read the ring as wholeness and the bond — the circle that has no end, the pledged Self. A ring given or worn marks commitment and completeness; a broken or lost ring, a fear about a bond's durability.
In Islam · Ibn Sirin
Ibn Sirin read the ring, especially a signet, as authority, a possession, or marriage — a fitting ring a matter secured or a union, a lost one a loss of standing or a bond. Framed as meaning: what commitment is forming or fraying?
