An interpretation of sport dreams

An interpretation of sport 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. Generally, sports symbolize competition and striving to do your best. They capture feelings of being energetic and healthy, or contrast with feelings of being rundown and unhealthy. They’re associated with discipline, practice, competition, preparation, and recognition. But as always, dreams can expand far and wide to create symbolism. Sports can be a public spectacle or event, especially sports that attract many fans or are played in big venues. For example, a young man about to become a father dreams about being in a football stadium packed with fans—a way of saying that having a child is a public event. The terminology and phrases associated with sports are ripe for use as comparisons, and comparison is the heart of dream symbolism. For example, if you score in a game it can relate to scoring in life. Sports have goals, and so do people. Sports can require getting around obstacles. They involve assistance. They’re associated with fame and glory. See also: Stadiums and arenas, Athletes, Coaches, Famousness, Lockers, Monsters, Opponents, Tigers, Wrestling
