Roles Dream Meaning

The different people in our dreams, such as doctor, lawyer, business person or tramp, in general represent the different abilities, weaknesses or interests we have ourself. Even if we know the role model’, it still depicts that person’s quality or skill in ourself.

The only difference might be that our personal reactions to that particular doctor or school­teacher, say, will also play a part. Roles often play an impor­tant part in our self image. Without an appreciated social role we may feel uncenain and ineffective. Maturity might require the acceptance that we are nothing, but can be many things.
