The Superhero Dream Meaning

From Herakles to Superman and Spiderman, the legendary superhero with magical, superhuman powers can come in many guises but his purpose is clear: he must defeat evil, and defend truth and justice. There is, however, always a price to pay or a sacrifice to make for his superhuman powers. For example, Superman must resist the advances of reporter Lois Lane, to whom Clark Kent would easily succumb.

If the image of a superhero or heroine appears in your dream, it is not only reminding you that your powers might be far greater than you think; it is also suggesting that there may be sacrifices you need to make along the way. [1]
