What are possible meanings for dreams of imposters?
An imposter in a dream can symbolize pretending to be something you’re not. For example, a person who pretends to be interested in someone just to have sex or gain favor is an imposter. However, the person feigning interest might not see it that way, creating a difference between how the conscious mind views something and how it’s viewed by the unconscious mind—perfect conditions for sparking powerful dreams.
The idea connects with other situations that aren’t intentional; for example, you can feel like an imposter when a teacher or supervisor praises you for work for which you know other people deserve credit.
The symbolism of being an imposter can connect with the idea in the phrase, “Fake it till you make it.” It’s a way of saying you are learning as you go. You don’t feel qualified for a role, task, or position, but you sure are trying. Portrayal as an imposter is an exaggeration that captures your feelings.
Along similar lines, being an imposter can mean you’re fooling yourself.
The symbolism of an imposter connects with the idea that something is unconvincing. For example, as layoffs are going on at work you’re told that the company will come out of it better off than before, but you are not convinced. You then dream that top management are actually aliens wearing human bodies.
You can dream about an imposter when someone you know has been through a big change, to the point that the person is almost unrecognizable. For example, you get into a relationship with someone and down the line start to feel that he or she is not the same person you first met.

Wedding and Imposter of an imposter.
I dreamt that I was following these 2 guys because they believed that there was this cargo on the back of a flatbed trailer that will send them to paradise. I investigated the box and it had a tube sticking in the back. The 2 guys let me take a look, soI used a camera and flashlight to look inside. There was another camera. The trailer was being hauled along with other ones, and so I and the 2 guys had to sit put as we were on the trailer.
We arrived at a wedding. Is was Starland from Regular Show marrying someone other than Muscleman. Muscle Man was no where to be seen, neither can most people as they were most likely off at a different part of the wedding as workers were unloading the trailers. We were behind all the trailers next to a gate, so it took them a long time to get caught. Meanwhile, I explained to the 2 guys what was in that tube. They agreed that the tube was apparently nothing special and tried to get on their way, but I stopped them, informing them that they could get in trouble if caught as we weren't invited to the wedding. The bride came crashing to where we were, which apparently was the outdoor dinging area for the reception. Starland cancelled the wedding to Muscle Man's delight, and they got married instead.
We we to eat the food, but some entitled woman wanted to halt the wedding altogether, letting the food go to waste. I and the other guest went on eating anyways, I even decided to troll her by asking if should eat this or that, and proceeding to grab the food she wanted me to eat the least. After that I headed home, passing a park. I wanted to walk more so I circles the sany area of the park until what appeared to be a fitness class appeared to be jogging and speed walking through, so I walked away. I walked by a class my cousin was apparently caring for. 9ne of the students was acting bad so she was lecturing him while I saw a giant Avacado with an eye staring at me in one of the rooms as I was walking outside past the doors.
Afterwards, I went to my cousin's house and a bald eagle was stalking what appeared to be a gerbil. The Gerbil was sentient and begging the eagle to not eat her, but it was made apparent thebeae was either just playing or messing with the gerbil. The gerbil tried to dismay the eagle by taking off her fur so that the eagle will give her privacy, but the eagle didn't give in. The gerbil tried to swim away in the pool, which gave the eagle a chase.
Afterward, Officer Jenny from Pokémon was worried that Eddy from Ed Edd n Eddy was up to no good. When Jenny went to sleep, an alien attempted [REDACTED] and she got spooked, causing the alien to quickly leave, leaving ash in various spot, proving its presence. Meanwhile just outside, Eddy was setting up a prank whilst disguised, and Jenny saw Eddy knowing it looked like him, however she thought it was someone trying to frame him as she though it was the alien leaving an alibi. In the morning, Jenny confronted Eddy and apologized as someone was trying to frame Eddy, not know Eddy really was there. She thought the alien wore a disguise when it ran out.

Creepy/Funny dream about evil clones
In my dream I am laying in bed with my 2 dogs. They are playing and keep jumping on and off the bed. After awhile, they start to settle down and just cuddle up next to me on the bed. However, I continue to hear the sounds of a dog running around on the floor.
I look down and I see my dog Daisy running around the bed with her toy. I look back up at the bed and Daisy is still on the bed. How can this be? I look back down and Daisy jumps up with her paws on the side of the bed. I can now see there are TWO Daisy’s. I know only one of them is real. The other one is an imposter. My other dog, Hank, is still laying in bed. There is only one of him.
I look at the two Daisy’s and I am very scared and concerned. I say “Which one of you is the real Daisy?” And I look carefully at both of them. It takes a minute, but I start to notice that the eyes of the Daisy sitting on the bed aren’t quite right. There’s something sinister in them. You can barely tell, but it’s there. This imposter dog seems to immediately sense I know she is the fake and starts to smirk in a really evil way. I realize this is something very dark and reality is not what I thought it was.
I don’t remember exactly what happens after that, but somehow I end up in a different location and now I am hiding from a man who has come looking for me. It isn’t said out loud, but I know deep down he is part of this evil scheme and is coming to see what I know. I wasn’t supposed to figure out that one of the dogs was fake. Now I’m in trouble.
Any idea what any of this could mean? It sounds pretty funny concept wise, but I was really creeped out while dreaming it.

I had a surreal dream that everyone hated me... as in everyone!
Hi so i just woke up from this awful and frankly emotionally draining dream, I hadn't had this experience in a long time.
I dreamt I was set up in a prank that lasted for weeks about everyone i cared about and my family dying one by one. There was pretty traumatic stuff going on, all orchestrated by my "friends". However there is one figure in particular that stood out and that was my ex, she seemed to have organised it in the first place. Except it wasn't here totally she just sounded and looked like her a lot. So when the reveal occurred that I was set up,i burst into tears in the dream and started running away. Then i reached a point in this huge field where i stopped and looked back and all of my friends were there laughing and screaming insults. There was a friend who'd I recognise that accused me of stealing her boyfriend ( which btw i promise has never happened, ironically its the one thing i am most terrified about, being a homewrecker, ps: an incident happened a few days ago at a party, maybe that whats it related too) . Another friend said this was revenge for not being a good enough friend and not paying enough attention to her. And then of course my ex who accused me of not loving her enough and its tragic to me because i feel like i still think about her every day. i know i haven't always been fair but i felt so heartbroken and lonely is this dream and rather a nightmare. i am crying writing this bc right now i have no idea of knowing whether or not i am victimising myself or if i have the right to feel so lonely.
Some big changes have happened in my life in the last few months notably graduating highschool, but i don't understand all this intense andger and sadness i am feeling. Further i have the biggest imposter syndrome and have just faced a breakup with someone v close to me ( dif ex ).
I have no idea what to feel or who to act rn. and somehow i have to get ready for a seminar which is in 12 min.
Ps: for some more grounded context of yesterday: I had a hot waffle with chocolate, and ice cream w a friend, i slept at midnight-ish which has been the earliest in the last 2 days. I have woken up also at around 5 bc i was trying to wake up at that time but kept falling back to sleep.
I am kinda disorientated right now and could use some insight. Let me know your thoughts on this. Thank you

imposter boyfriend
so i dreamt my boyfriend came home during the afternoon of a 11-7 workday, while i was still sleeping he came into the bedroom and i woke up, confused as to why he was home he just said “my mom is taking me back to work in a few minutes but i wanted to lay with you in the meantime” i initially agreed but then realized he was wearing a winter jacket (it’s not snowing here) so instead he knelt down beside the bed and i reached out for his hair to pet, that’s when i realized his hair was wayyy to short bc he’s been growing it out and so this was definitely a dream. i mistakenly decided to tell him i was dreaming, he tried to deny it saying he just wanted to come see me for a few minutes it was no big deal so i decided to explain WHY i thought i was dreaming mistake#2 as he stood up trying to defend himself, my hand that was touching his hair fell over his face kind of revealing the whites of his eyes that had now turned red.. i freaked out but he remained in character denying his eyes were red and so i told him “your eyes just turned red like a blue rare steak” (not sure why that’s the comparison) then the dream ended because i woke up.
