If you are dreaming that someone is acting, you may be dreaming about yourself.
The dream could be pointing out some of the roles that you play in life. Among the many roles we play are parent, spouse, lover, student, professional, etc. We behave somewhat differently in each of those roles.
The actor in your dreams could be showing you how well you “play” some of your roles in life or how others perceive you. Also, to dream of either indicates happiness to follow.
If you take a liking to one you will find work coming that is very easy for you to accomplish.
If the actor or actress that you are dreaming of is deceased now, it indicates unhappiness and possible losses. Good news. Are you sincerely giving good news or are you trying to obtain approval, acceptance and/or recognition from those you are dealing with? If you meet with, or are entertained by one or more actors/actresses, you will be receiving good news. Also: Falseness, deceit, and trickery. Desire for Recognition If you see yourself as an actor/actress then you will be the bearer of good news.
If you meet with, or watch (as part of an audience), actor(s) then you will be the recipient of good news. [1]
If the actor or actress isn’t a particular favorite, but reminds you of someone you know, this is a wake-up call: That person is “acting,” not showing his or her true colors, probably to suit his or her own ends.
Depending on the other symbols in the dream, this could mean that YOU need to do a little “acting.” A situation may arise where showing your true feelings will NOT be in your best interests. [2]
If it is not you who is playing a role but someone else, you will have to watch out for deceptions; it is likely someone around you is hiding their true intentions. [3]
If you dream of an actor/actress that you admire, then this dream is revealing qualities that you like most about yourself or that you aspire to embody.
If the actor/actress represents qualities that you dislike, then this dream is assisting you to embrace your shadow.
