Dreaming of Actors

actor and actress, performer, star, theatre · mixed

Actors in a dream speak of pleasure and lightness, but also of disillusion when the scenery falls.

What happens in the dream

  • You see an actress: a time of unbroken pleasure and favor
  • You are in love with an actor: you lean toward pleasure over hard work
  • A dead actor: your luck collapses
  • An actress in distress: you gladly help a friend back on their feet
  • You are an actor: you will work for a living, but cheerfully
  • Wandering, penniless actors: your affairs go from promise to threatened failure; for couples, broken vows
  • You are engaged to an actor: remorse follows the glamour
  • You flirt with an actress: quarrels at home

How you felt

  • Admiration: the dream may reflect a wish to shine
  • A sense of performance: it may express a feeling of wearing a mask

Ask yourself

  • What role am I playing right now?
  • What draws me to appearances?
