I dreamed some friends and I were putting together a dance performance. The instructor was strict and tough. I was there the first day and learned the dance moves for the beginning of the dance. Then something happened and I wasn’t able to go to practices. I was so concerned. I hoped my friends would be able to teach me the moves before the performance. As long as I had them a certain extent the audience and the instructor shouldn’t notice. I was struggling to find people to have the time to teach me. I was so worried. Then the instructor approached me and asked what was going on. I was so scared. I explained. Even though he is so strict and tough, he was understanding. He was still tough, but understanding and seemed to have solutions. I realized he liked me as a person. That made me feel good.
This dream may reflect a sense of pressure and expectations in your waking life, particularly in regard to responsibilities and commitments. The dance performance symbolizes a project or goal that you are working towards with others, highlighting the importance of cooperation and synchronization. The strict and tough instructor could represent your own inner critic or a demanding authority figure in your life.
Your absence from the practices in the dream could indicate a feeling of falling behind or struggling to keep up with the demands of the situations you are facing. The worry about not being able to learn the moves could suggest feelings of inadequacy or fear of letting others down.
The positive turn in the dream comes when the instructor approaches you with understanding and offers solutions. This may indicate a need to address your fears and concerns openly and to seek support from those around you. The realization that the instructor likes you as a person could symbolize acceptance and appreciation for who you are, despite any perceived shortcomings.
Overall, this dream could be a reflection of your inner struggles with perceived expectations and the need for understanding and support in managing challenges. It may be a reminder to communicate your concerns, seek help when needed, and recognize your own worth and value.
