To dream of being ridiculed represents feelings of embarrassment, shame, or humiliation in waking life. This dream symbolizes a fear of judgment or criticism, often associated with low self-esteem or lack of confidence. It may also indicate feelings of being laughed at or not taken seriously by others. This dream suggests a need to address insecurities and assert oneself in order to overcome feelings of being ridiculed. Alternatively, being a witness to someone else being ridiculed can reflect guilt or fear of being associated with those who are being mocked.
