Dreaming of Adulation

adulation, flattery, worship · mostly negative

Adulation in a dream warns against unearned honors and self-serving flattery.

What happens in the dream

  • You seek adulation: you will pompously fill positions of honor you have not earned
  • You flatter someone: you give up something dear in hope of material gain

How you felt

  • A need for recognition: the dream may reflect a lack of self-assurance
  • Unease: it may express discomfort at flattering others to get ahead

Ask yourself

  • Do I need praise from others to feel good?
  • What am I willing to give up to get ahead?
