To dream about a party or festival can indicate you are in a happy mood or feeling good, energetic, and ready to have fun. You have something to celebrate. You feel festive. It can relate to anything to do with sociability and dealing with people. Parties and festivals can be chaotic and unorganized, which can symbolize a chaotic or unorganized situation in your life. It can be an external situation, such as your merry but crazy home life with your young children, or it can show the chaos in your mind or heart. The possibilities for symbolism get deeper when you consider that a party in a dream can be used to show the opposite of what the typical party scene implies. Maybe you don’t want to socialize, aren’t in a happy mood, or lack the energy to deal with a group of people. In which case a dream will show you avoiding a party, not enjoying yourself at one, or arriving in a hobbled state, such as in a wheelchair. The intermingling of a party can depict the intermingling between parts of yourself. Your psyche has many aspects, all of which can be portrayed as dream characters. Therefore, the intermingling of different types of people at a party is a great analogy for times when your internal barriers come down and various parts of you can get together. This symbolism is especially likely if the party in your dreams shows widely different types of characters: the punk rocker, the intellectual, the athlete, the misfit. Stereotypical characters in dreams are a sign that parts of the psyche are taking form. See: Groups Parties are where people are more likely to say what they’re really thinking or give their true opinion, and where personal items get mixed up. For example, coats and purses are known for getting lost or stolen at parties. In dreams, these associations can be used to tell a story about finding out what people really think of you, or losing something valuable or important to you. For example, losing a purse at a party can symbolize losing something about your identity when in groups of people. See: Lost things Dreaming about a carnival suggests the need for variety. Perhaps your life has become routine. The symbolism of parties, festivals and carnivals can all connect around the idea of fun, activity and variety. The symbolism can connect with something inside you that needs expression, perhaps by your being looser, less inhibited. Carnivals and parties are loose environments. A carnival or party setting can connect with a recent event such as attending a rock concert. The theme of the party can identify the symbolism of it. For example, a going-away party can symbolize that a time of life is over. A baby shower can symbolize trying to have a baby.
