Dream Symbol: man

man

A man can represent many different things. For clues to his meaning, consider the context of the man and your feelings about him.

A man you know in real life may represent that actual person or the type of role he plays in your life (supervisor, father, friend, doctor, business person, etc.).

Whether you know the man or not, he may represent:

  • The key characteristics that stand out about him in the dream, such as humor, protectiveness, masculinity, intelligence, etc.
  • Stereotypical masculine characteristics such as protectiveness, strength, assertiveness or aggression, or logical thinking

Tips to Understand Dream Meaning

Dream symbol meanings are different for each person. It's IMPORTANT to consider:

  • Personal meaning - What the dream symbol means to you, what it reminds you of, how it makes you feel.
  • Context - How the dream symbol appears in the dream. For example, in a dream about a bee - what was the bee doing, how and where it was doing it, and how did you feel about it?
  • Look beyond the obvious - A dream is often about something other than its obvious meaning. Physical events in the dream commonly represent mental or emotional matters.
