Have you ever had dreams of being a superhero? These are definitely fun dreams to have, that stir up childhood memories and revisit old daydreams.
What was your dream like, and how did you feel as you woke up? If you felt invigorated and inspired, then that is a good thing. Note the effect of your dream on you and be aware of how it makes you feel as you move forward.
What does a dream of being a superhero represent?
A dream of being a superhero can represent a lot of things. Here are some possibilities:
Symbolic of confidence
The superhero is the symbol of confidence in one’s abilities and in being of true service to others. To dream of being a superhero could mean that you are feeling confident in your skills and believe that you can be of genuine help to those around you.
This is a powerful symbolism, and if it is representative of what you feel in your waking life, then you should go ahead and do what you are inspired to do.
Symbolic of childhood empowerment
When you were a child, you were so empowered with what you had, felt, and knew – you didn’t have the weight of the whole world’s judgments, convention, and beliefs pressing down on you.
You didn’t have to fight against these things when you were younger. Dreaming of becoming a superhero is not a rare thing to cross a child’s mind – in fact, it is pretty common for children to envision that they are true superheroes, helping the world become a better place with their own superpowers.
This dream could be symbolic of the empowerment you felt as a child – and how this translates to your life right now.
You may be particularly inspirited, and feel that you have much to offer. If this is the case, pursue whatever it is your heart is telling you to and ride on the momentum you are feeling now in order to make it happen.
Symbolic of unique or special talent
Superheroes usually have that one thing that makes them super or special – a talent that is unique to them, that others don’t possess.
This dream may be reminding you that you have something in you that makes you special as well – something that only you are good at, that is of benefit to both you and the people around you.
Remember this gift, bathe in it, and make sure you are highlighting it enough so that it is a recognized strength that you have.
In some ways, this dream can also relate to the contribution you can make to the community you belong in.
Superheroes usually have a unique talent that no other member of the team has – enough so that they contribute something meaningful to the group endeavor.
Make sure you tap into your special talent because for sure, no one has the same one that you do. Your contribution to the group you belong in is important, and will help further your cause in the most effective way.
Symbolic of feeling left out
Superheroes are initially the odd ones out – the rejected or unpopular ones, the “losers” in the group.
Later on, they will be lauded for their contributions, but that only happens when they let their strengths dominate their consciousness and eventually the consciousness of those around them.
Your dream of being a superhero could mean that you are in this stage of feeling left out and marginalized – as if you are not important and you are not contributing anything of value.
Make sure you get out of this rut by doing what you can with what you have – eventually, you will be able to feel purposeful and happy as long as you do this every day.
Symbolic of extreme competence
Still related to having a special talent, your dream of being a superhero could mean that you have within you a special gift that you are extremely competent in, that no one else quite measures up.
It is best to make use of this and have it serve you first and foremost – and eventually, it will start serving those around you as they notice and feel the improvement in their lives.
Symbolic of wanting justice
A dream of being a superhero could mean that you are wanting to seek justice for those around you. Maybe you are in the midst of an oppressive situation, and you want to get out of it and help others get out of it, too.
Common Situations in which you dream of being a superhero
Dream of flying
If in your superhero dream, you are flying, this could mean an increased sense of consciousness.
You may be having transcendent physical and emotional experiences right now, that are opening parts of your consciousness in ways that it hasn’t before.
Dream of fighting crime
You may be fighting crime in your dream, avenging the marginalized and the oppressed. If your superhero dream is about this, then this could mean that your sense of justice is being tapped and you want to do something about what is happening in your waking life.
Maybe people around you are also oppressed and need a voice to be heard, and you have this power to let them air out their concerns and get the justice that they deserve.
Dream of fighting a particular person in your waking life
This dream may mean that you have unresolved concerns regarding the person you are fighting. Maybe you are feeling bad about what this person is doing, or have a desire to sever ties with this person.
Whatever the situation, you can be more conscious as you wake up and assess where the fighting in your dream is coming from, and why this was the scenario that was visualized.
Dream of being the nemesis
This dream may mean that you have repressed emotions. There may have been triggers in your life lately, and you haven’t let them out in a better or more constructive way.
Try to write down your emotions so that you may better assess what these dreams could possibly mean, or pinpoint exactly what the triggers are and how they are connected to an issue that you can resolve.
Dream of being your favorite superhero
You may have a superhero that you have idolized since you were young. If in your dream, you are this superhero, then this is a good sign that you are living out your dreams. Expect good news and financial and emotional rewards in your life very soon.
Dream of being a dead superhero
You may be a superhero that was defeated by a nemesis or any other reason. This dream may mean that you are craving to be recognized, and want other people to acknowledge the good work that you have been doing lately.
Dream of saving a particular person
If in your dream, you are saving someone in particular – someone who is a character in your waking life, someone you actually know – then this means that you may have feelings about this person and that he/she needs to be saved. Maybe you are looking at her from a point of weakness, and feel that your help is needed.
If you are concerned, go ahead and talk to this person and ask if she needs anything. It may be a sign that she does need help, and is hard up in telling you about it.
Dream of saving a child
Your dream of being a superhero may entail you saving a child. This could mean a lot of things. For one, it could mean that there is a particular child in your environment that you feel needs your help. You can do something about this and really check on the child if you are bothered.
This dream could also mean that you are craving for your inner child. You may be missing something from your childhood – your freedom, your happiness, the fulfillment you got from the simplest things.
Your dream may mean that you are actually saving yourself, or want to. Make sure you think about this when you wake up as these are pretty important to deal with – especially if your subconscious is trying to remind you that you should also serve yourself and ensure your own happiness.
Dream of fighting with a squad
In your dream, you may be part of a superhero squad. This could mean that you are feeling good in making a difference via the group or community that you are a part of.
They could help in making you feel empowered and this is a great source of support and confidence for you.
Conclusion
Your dream of being a superhero can mean a lot of different things, and this could be specific to what actually happened in your dream.
Make sure you get the details that are important and apply the most appropriate interpretation, so that you may know how to assess and act from here on in.
