All dreams have meaning

You can gain insight from thinking about any dream, no matter how strange. Only you, as the dreamer, have final say on what your dream may or may not mean. Each dream is unique.

Look for the differences

The DreamWell dictionary provides information on how each dream symbol appears in dreams in general. Finding how experience actors in dreams can be a key to understanding its meaning.

Return to the feelings

Our emotions in dreams can help us understand its meaning. Pay attention to how you felt in the dream. Pay attention to how you feel about actors in dreams. See how you feel about actors now, in your waking life.

What are possible meanings for dreams of actors?

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.

Dreamed about killing rats... They ended up being women.

So in this dream I am with my mother in a room. There are two rats in it, and we decide we should kill them. My mother runs away to the other room and I start killing one of the rats with a bat. It starts crying and squeaking and I can see tears on its eyes. I don't want to keep hitting it with the bat but I know I have to do it. Then as the rat becomes more and more bloody and hurt it slowly becomes a woman, all covered in blood and hurt. I just think I am losing my senses and then I move to kill the other rat. The same thing happens, it suffers a lot and then I realize I'm hitting a woman's head with a bat and she is all covered in blood. The two women, by the way, are famous actresses in my country. Shocked and disgusted, I run to room where my mother is and tell her I may have killed two women and thought they were rats. She seems not to care. And then I wake up.

Recent dream

So I had a dream that I lived in a steam punk reality. I was an actress and married to who looked like my old friend Andrew. In this reality we lived in a huge colonial style home that was somewhere in like a New England environment. Apparently Andrew was older than me (which he is in reality). Apparently I was cheating on him with my current fiancé (he looked skinnier and blonde). And my current fiancé was married at the time in the dream. Things I remember were seeing a flying motorcycle that I drove. I remember we had a toy train that ran all around the office space the ceiling. It was black and steam powered. I remember that I got a call in the dream from someone saying my husband in the dream (friend Andrew) was going to be rushed to the hospital. I remember being down the road somewhere in the woods with the guy I was cheating and watching the ambulance go by. It was as the guy was a neighbor. Very wealthy himself. It was so weird. Someone please help me interpret this!

Does anyone else get this?

I had a dream today but very weird. I mostly don't watch Charli's TikTok but yeah. So, I had this dream about these celebrities. I saw Charli, Dixie, celebrities, and other random people that I don't know. It was a little weird because Charli is always wearing tank tops, joggers, oversized t-shirts, and so on but she wasn't wearing any of this she was wearing a suit that was pink. It also looked like her brand (what she sponsored or something)was Sunkist and I forgot what Dixie's brand was in my dream. Then I saw this kid and it looked like all of the celebrities were being mind-controlled. Then I was pretending that I was being mind-controlled for that I didn't really get mind-controlled. There was also this doorman who looks like the doorman tony from "Jessie". I don't know what this dream means but I also had another dream but very hard to explain. What I want to be is an actress so plz tell me what this means.

A movie that isn’t real.

I just had a dream about a movie centered around some people who were in space on a space station during a global nuclear war, and decide to come down to Earth after the war only to realize that Earth’s tectonic plates, and atmosphere were destabilized during the nuclear blasts. They watch the California coastline collapse into the ocean, the sky is completely dark, there are permanent radioactive thunderstorms, and constant earthquakes. The movie starred the following actors, and actors:

Daniel Bruhl from Marvel, and Cloverfield Paradox.

Lauren Cohan from The Walking Dead.

Taylor Russel from Escape Room.

Kris Kristofferson from Convoy, and Fallout New Vegas.

Gugu Mbatha-Raw from Loki, and Cloverfield Paradox.

John Ortiz from Cloverfield Paradox.

This movie from the dream had a lot of dramatic moments, and in the dream I was watching the movie on TV with my mom, and brother. I find it interesting that I am familiar with all of these actactorstactorsom other movies, or shows I’ve watched. I haven’t seen Taylor Russel in a movie before but I have seen recent trailers for the Escape Room movie, and Taylor Russel is in my local area filming a movie currently, or was fairly recently. All of the actorsactorssactorsd crew members on the space station that witnessed the nuclear war. Kris Kristofferson seemed to play the Captain with Daniel Bruhl playing the second in command, and Lauren Cohan seemed to hold a high rank on board the station as well. The others were below them, or at least seemed to be. There seemed to have been lots of unnamed people on board on the space station too.

symbolism of strangulation?

probably my most common reoccurring dream is I’m getting strangled by someone. The situation and person is almost always different (my most recent dream was I was attending an interactive play and I got picked to go on stage and the actor was supposed to be stage choking me but was choking me for real) but I have a dream where I’m being choked semi regularly. Any thoughts on to what it could symbolize?
