An interpretation of shape 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. Shapes may show the internal configuration of your mind and how parts of the psyche fit together. In dreams, shapes often are shown through objects. So your dream doesn’t just show you a circle, it shows you a basketball or a pizza. It doesn’t just show you a rectangle, it shows you a rectangular house or pool. Then it weaves together a story around the symbolism of the shape. Alternately, you can think of shapes as things that “shape” you, or what sort of “shape” you’re in. The condition of an object or structure with a specific shape can speak volumes. For example, a deflated ball can symbolize feeling deflated, but if it’s overinflated it can symbolize an inflated ego. A box can symbolize feeling “boxed in.” When shapes are important in a dream, you will sense it. They will stick out somehow to you. The entries listed below go into depth about this subject.
