An interpretation of game dreams

An interpretation of game 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. When considering what a game in a dream means, begin with how it can be used to make comparisons. Playing a game can compare to “the game of life.” It shows your progress or lack of it in advancing your life and personal development. Games are comparable to the rivalry you may have with a friend or sibling. To maneuvering at work to get ahead. To the games you play to attract romantic and sexual partners. To “head games.” Games are associated with outwitting someone and “gaming the system.” They’re associated with rules. They’re associated with taking something seriously—life is not a game! But for some people it is. Games can compare to something you’re trying to accomplish, an objective, goal, or ambition. Games have objectives, and life can be full of them. Games can be competitive. Consider ways you compete with people and with yourself—or against yourself. The same skill and ability used in games can be used in life. Can you connect the game in your dream with your life or personality? See also: Stadiums and arenas, Chasing, Coaches, Gambling, Opponents, Sports
