An interpretation of actor dreams

An interpretation of actor dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. An actor can symbolize the roles in life you play: spouse, son, daughter, parent, employee, sibling, friend. In those roles you are expected to act and be a certain way. The role can be formal—like priest or doctor—or informal—such as playing the role of friend who gives advice, or a person who fixes problems. When the roles you play conflict with your inner desires and true character, that tension will generate conflict likely to be exposed in dreams. For example, some parents want their children always to play the role of a child in the relationship, but that role might not fit a teenager or adult child who has outgrown it. In which case, you could dream about an actor who refuses to work or step onstage. Being an actor can mean unconsciously following patterns, the scripts for what you believe about yourself and your life that are deeply embedded in your being and largely outside your awareness. Being an actor can refer to the persona you project, or the ideal version of yourself you want the world to see. It’s not a facade but a product of your wishes and imagination. Then again, maybe you are faking it. See: Imposters Being an actor can be a metaphor for feeling like you are onstage, expected to perform a certain way. Or you are the center of attention. You enjoy the spotlight. Or you desire fame, recognition, wealth, or attention. See: Stages Because actors are directed, the symbolism can relate to directing your life or sense of personal direction. It can symbolize being manipulated to do someone’s bidding. Reverse the idea, and in an actor being directed you could see a projection of how you manipulate people and situations. See: Directors A famous actor can be a projection of something about yourself, especially the roles you play or your personality. For example, actor Jim Carrey is known for playing buffoonish roles, so in a dream he could symbolize a buffoonish side of your personality, or a ridiculous situation. But he is also known for being a deep guy offstage, and that association can be used in your dreams too. It depends on what you know about him and how the dream character behaves.
