Ball Dream Meaning

Dream interpretation from 23 unique sources about Ball

1- A ball connects with the playful, childlike side of ourselves and our need to express ourselves with freedom. Attending a ball also suggests a need for freedom, but links with the more flamboyant side of ourselves.

2- If we arc taking part in games with a ball (See also: Games) we are conscious of our need for both structure and freedom. Psychologically, the human being needs to celebrate special occasions.

A ball as in a formal party - allows him to do just this. In dreams this image may alert us to this requirement in ourselves.

3- Solar and Lunar festivals are often symbolised by the ball, as well as a feeling of impenetrable completeness. [1]

Vision: Playing with a colorful ball or child’s balloon: while you may receive a disappointment, you will get over it quickly. Playing with a ball: a warning of a passing love affair. However, playing ball with many other people: expect a positive relationship with a new partner (personal or business). Playing ball with your life’s partner: a good omen for your relationship, because you are learning from each other in a playful way.

Depth Psychology: The ball is a symbol of the whole person (of a fully rounded personality), but it is also a symbol of your destiny— fate sometimes plays games with us! See Globe. [2]

The sphere is the purest shape that is easily understandable by the human mind. Anything round calls into consciousness this fundamental geometry that mirrors the globe of the Earth we call home and therefore symbolizes a sense of wholeness and integration. In the case of a ball, your dream may be connecting to a more playful part of your nature.

A ball that implies a game ought to be played may be calling you to action, to participate more actively in the game of life. Balls can also relate to the testicles and symbolize masculine power and are more likely in a dream to be pointing to the masculine principle of doing things and taking action. [3]

If you are playing some sort of ball game as a sport you will soon be hearing some good news.

If the ball you dream of is a gala event complete with music then the interpretation is somewhat different.

It is a very good omen if you are having fun and enjoying the music and dancing but if it should be a masquerade ball you should watch out for an enemy posing as a good friend. Watching a ball game, or a dance from the sidelines, show that you must overcome shyness to join in the fun. [5]

Balls can indicate everything from a game or some other form of relaxation to memories from our childhood. Balls can also have metaphorical connotations, such as being “tossed around,” “the ball’s in your court,” “having a ball” (having a good time) and “having balls” (courage). Any of these may be helpful in determining the meaning of this dream.

A deeper, more universal symbolism is that circles and balls represent completeness and wholeness. [6]

To dream that you play with a ball reveals the desire to escape present responsibilities and take refuge in the past. However, the dream can also have sexual connotations, especially in men. The dreamer should ask himself how he felt in the dream: Was he the star of the game, or did they always score against him? Did he skillfully handle the ball or was he always chasing after it? The answers will be key to interpreting his situation in the game of life. [7]
A ball can represent: Roundness.

Bounciness or resilience.

A game, or some aspect of your life that seems like one.

People tossing a ball back and forth to each other can represent the back-and-forth in a dialogue.

Bouncing a ball alone could represent a mental process, such as trying to make a decision or figure something out.

Dreams of a ball are associated with play, games, and friendly competition.

If you have a ball, then it is your turn to make a move.

A ball also represents the circular, infinite cyclical nature of life, the world, the globe, wholeness and completion. [9]

Completeness, wholeness; integration of conscious and unconscious, body, mind and spirit.

If playing with a ball, a need for play and opening childlike awareness.

If you throw the ball to someone, it is now the other’s move; if you are catching or receiving, it is time for action—the ball is in your court. [10]
