An interpretation of prom dreams

An interpretation of prom 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. Prom can be used in a dream-story to create symbolism based on associations with it—common associations and personal ones. Some common associations with prom are that it’s a big date, a formal occasion, a highly anticipated event. Some less common associations are that it’s costly, brings out insecurities and anxieties in people, and the person you take as your date says a lot about your social status and dating skills. Those are possible reasons that you dream about being at prom ten or twenty or thirty years after your last prom. Also consider that prom for some people is when they lose their virginity, so it can be associated with sexuality and sex life. For example, a teenage female dreams that she and her peers walk single file across a plank over a dark pit. Some of her peers fall off, but she makes it across to a room with an overhead sign that says “PROM.” Inside she finds bored teens and a picked-over food buffet. The dream symbolizes her first sexual experience. The risky maneuver over the pit represents the inherent risks, such as pregnancy and disease. Making it to the other side represents that she didn’t fall into those traps during her first sexual experience. The bored teens and picked-over food buffet show how she feels about the experience. It didn’t live up to expectation. Prom is connected with inclusion and exclusion. For example, a man who didn’t attend prom because he was an outcast in high school dreams about it years later as a recurring theme. His dreams use prom anytime they want to address a subject related to exclusion and the bitter taste it leaves in his mouth. Prom can connect with the symbolism of school. See: Schools It can connect with dating. See: Boyfriends, Girlfriends It can connect with marriage, both as a formal occasion and as a precursor, such as when you marry your high school sweetheart. See: Weddings, Weddings And of course, you can have personal associations that your dreams use as symbolism. Begin by thinking about prom and what you associate with it personally.
