1- When in a dream we arc watching a play, we need to decide whether it is a drama, a comedy or a tragedy. This is because we often are trying to view our own lives objectively.

2- In dreams, the play that takes placc is a distillation of our experiences, knowledge and abilities.

The creator in us directs the performance to enable us to get the best benefit of the information it contains.

Sometimes, however, the unexpected occurs which means that we have to seek explanation elsewhere.

3- From a spiritual perspective, the life that we have creates a play which gives us the best opportunity to learn lessons through experience. [2]

Dreams of a theatrical play represent your desire to present yourself to the world, to take your thoughts and feelings from behind the scenes of your mind and heart and display them in the spotlight of center stage.

If you dream of acting in a play or watching a theatrical production, then this represents objectivity in your ability to witness the roles you play in life. This dream may be reminding you that you are the writer, director and star of this show, so if you don’t like the direction that the play is headed, then you have the power to change it.

If you dream of playing, as in a child at a park, then this represents that you are in touch with your creativity, freedom, and unique expression.

If someone is playing a game, such as chess or checkers, then you are becoming aware of the aspect of you that can be strategic and manipulative in your desire to win. Consider the feeling tone of this dream.

To dream of being at the theatre and watching a play being enacted, either by living people or on the screen, is either lucky or unlucky according to the character of the play. It presages meetings with interesting people of the opposite sex which may lead in almost any direction depending on whether the play is pleasing or harrowing, exciting or dull. One should refer to the subject under its proper heading. [4]
