An interpretation of university dreams

An interpretation of university 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. As a place of learning, a university has many possibilities for symbolism in a dream, related to learning, teaching, and intelligence. It is an academic setting, but dreams expand the idea beyond book learning and academics to include learning about yourself, life, people, and other subjects. These possibilities are covered in entries for Classroom, College, School, Student, Teacher. A university dream setting can be used to create symbolism based on related associations. Universities are associated with getting ahead in life. People with a university degree are supposed to rise higher, have more opportunity, and earn more income. However, that’s not always the case. You might dream about being in a university setting because you have or haven’t been as successful as you like—in your career, life, relationships, social standing. Universities are associated with recognition for intelligence and achievement, as well as for praise and criticism. The university is an environment that exposes what people are made of, how smart they are, and what they’re willing to do to get ahead. You can be reminded of a university when working on something such as an analysis at work or research for a home to buy. The process and work are similar to how you would research a paper for school. A university can symbolize thinking long and hard, with depth, analysis, and strategy. Universities are where the toughest questions are answered, and subjects are tackled. Symbolism can be created based on experiences outside the classroom and the overall university atmosphere. For example, a big part of university life for some people revolves around friends and socializing. It’s a time of freedom. Even if you never set foot on a university campus or your experience was different, the associations can be used to create symbolism. See: Campuses The word “university” can be read as two words fused into one, “universe” and “city.” That symbolism has appeared in dreams about a “cosmic university,” as big as a major city, where all subjects are studied, including math and philosophy at higher levels than are presently known on Earth, and the brightest minds in the universe gather.
