A birthday is typically a happy moment. There is usually a celebratory vibe during birthdays, where there is lightness, ease, and the freedom to be completely yourself – and this is most especially applicable if you are the birthday celebrant. Dreaming of birthdays revolves around these usual symbolisms.
What does a dream about a birthday represent?
Birthdays also have some biblical symbolism, and are often depicted as special events in this holy book. Here are the possible symbolisms for a birthday in your dream.
Symbolic of happiness
Since birthdays are usually a happy occasion, dreams about birthdays are typically a symbolism of happiness.
You may be in a very happy place in your life right now, and you have nothing more to ask. There is gratitude and enjoyment in all of your days. This is a very good sign for you.
Symbolic of an important milestone
Birthdays are usually important milestones – occasions that mark your being a year older and how you celebrate everything that you have achieved thus far.
Dreaming of a birthday could mean that an important milestone is coming up for you, and that this is going to be a significant moment in your life as well as in the life of people who are close to you as well.
Symbolic of the goals you have achieved
The mark of being a year older is sometimes symbolic of the goals you have set for yourself and if you have been able to accomplish them.
This could be the reason for why you are dreaming about a birthday – maybe you are taking stock of your checklist of accomplishments and are evaluating how far you have come.
Symbolic of wisdom
Being a year older is often associated with being wiser as well. Your birthday dream could be about the fact that you have become wiser and you have achieved wisdom that will help you and the others around you greatly. This is a great and very calming thing to have.
Symbolic of anxiety
Sometimes, people have anxiety around their birthday too. It could make them feel pressured, or feel as if they have to have already reached a certain status in their life that is the standard amongst their peers.
This is a very unhelpful way of looking at your birthday. The best way to approach it is to accept that life moves and you will continue to expand.
Also, to not put too much weight on the opinions of other people, and to move along your own timeline and your own valuation systems.
It is typical to feel as if you have to ascribe to the valuation system of others in order to feel worthy.
But this kind of thinking is so unreliable in terms of making you feel secure. You have to find that place of calm within yourself, where your worthiness and security are unconditional.
Symbolic of a celebration
Birthdays are typically celebrated, so you may be in a celebratory mood right now. You may be on top of the world and feel that you have every right to your desires and to be happy as well.
This is the best thing to feel and be at any moment, whether it is your birthday or not. Keep up the good mood and realize that this is the best work that you can do for yourself.
Symbolic of success
Dreaming of a birthday could also symbolize success that you will be enjoying in your endeavors.
You may be taking on a project at work and are very invested in the daily grind – you are sure to reap the benefits of this very soon, and the rewards will definitely be sizeable.
Symbolic of good luck
Birthday dreams could also symbolize good luck. Maybe you are entering into a new partnership or contract at work or in your personal life.
Maybe you are about to engage in a new romantic relationship. Maybe you are going to make a business deal. Your dream of a birthday is symbolic of the good luck that these new engagements will bring to your life.
Birthdays are typically celebrated with other people – family, friends, colleagues. A birthday dream could also be saying something about your social situation – if you are happier alone or with a big group, or if you prefer the company of certain people.
This may be a peak into what you truly prefer, and what gives you happiness, without having to get the approval of the people around you.
Common situations in which you dream of a birthday
Dream of throwing a birthday party
This dream could be symbolic of the responsibilities that you hold for yourself as well as for others. You may have a long to-do list that never ends.
There are times when you feel as if you have to be the point person for everything – with your family, your friends, and of course yourself.
Throwing a birthday party has all these responsibilities so if that’s what you dreamed about, then it may be related to these reasons and scenarios you hold for your waking life.
Dream of being in another person’s birthday celebration
This dream could symbolize the involvement that you have with the person who is celebrating the birthday. Check what you are doing during the celebration, if you are completely participating or if you are just waiting on the side.
Also assess your closeness with the one celebrating the birthday. The situation during the whole party could be indicative of either what you think about this person or how you view your relationship.
Dream of getting a birthday gift
This dream is symbolic of good luck. You will be getting something that will please you very soon. It could also be that something you have been wanting for a long time will be given to you easily.
It could be a big thing like a promotion at work, a relocation at a place you’ve wanted to live in for a long time, a pregnancy, or some other big and exciting news.
Dream of giving someone else a birthday gift
This dream could symbolize the love that you feel for a certain person. You may be in awe or admiration of someone. The fact that you are giving them a gift in your dream could mean that you want to please them in some way.
Try to remember who you are giving the gift to and what you truly feel for this person in your waking life.
Dream of crashing a birthday party
This dream could be symbolic of your spontaneous and sometimes overbearing nature. This could be a nudge towards being more self-aware – you may be getting into things that you shouldn’t, or putting your nose in other people’s business.
Make sure that it is your place when you assert your opinions or even when you manage other situations or people – or else you may give a negative impression on people around you.
Dream of leaving a birthday party
This dream could symbolize your intolerance for certain things in your life. You may have a short patience with people, and are easily pissed off by the things that they do or say.
It is good that you walk away when you need to, but also check if this is the best thing to do for your own personal growth and development. It is a different situation every time so be nuanced in your assessment as well.
Dream of greeting someone a happy birthday
This dream could be symbolic of how you want to register your love and care for a person who is close to you. Greeting someone lets them know that you remember their special day and that you wish them well.
This may be a simple gesture but often goes places with the person who receives the greeting. This dream could also be symbolic of the small things that you do that carry great meaning or benefit for other people.
Dream of missing a birthday
This dream is the opposite of the previous one, and could be a reminder to stop or take a pause with the things that usually take up your attention, and instead focus on more important things in your life, such as your relationships perhaps.
You may be forgetting about taking care of the people close to you because you are too focused in your work and your other responsibilities.
Remember that it takes a little to make someone feel special, yet the effect on them stays for a long time. It will be worth the small effort to be thoughtful and caring towards them.
Conclusion
Dreams about a birthday could mean many things, and usually are related to your celebratory feelings as well as your feelings towards the people around you.
Try to be as specific with your dream recall as possible, so that you can assign the most accurate meaning in the interpretation of your dreams. This is the best way to go about your dream meanings and symbolisms.
