Uncover Hidden Dream Meanings

Most of us go through life with many different hopes and expectations.

We study at school and have numerous plans and ambitions. At times, some of us dream of independence. Maybe you are at school currently and you dream of being an adult, or maybe you are financially hard up and you dream of being financially free? Sometimes, we are our own harshest critics and this dream can sometimes appear when we are worrying about where our life is going. Dreaming about independence has a reference to your arrogance and pride in the waking life. The question is which part of yourself you are ready to release. Being independent in one's dream is positive. To live alone means that you may want freedom. To dream of your child being independent suggests that others will want your advice.

The independence in a dream can be always be interpreted as a suggestion to your inner independence.

In life perhaps you tend to hide your emotions because you believe your emotions can make you appear vulnerable in other people’s eyes. To become stronger, you must accept and display your true feelings. If you don’t care how other people see you then this is a good sign. To dream of independence in anyway is a reflection of how you see yourself. Do you want to become independent? If yes, work on yourself and learn how to express your real emotions. Don’t let other people’s opinion of you affect your mental health and make you dependent on them.

This is only natural! In my view this dream is all about teaching yourself some independence.

Now, it can suggest that you are easily manipulated by people. Independence occurring in the dream indicates that anything is possible in the realms of human possibility.
