[DREAM IMAGES: FITNESS INSTRUCTOR; OLYMPIAN; SPORTSPERSON ETC.]
This archetype represents the ultimate expression of the strength of the human spirit as represented in the power and magnificence of the human body. Athlete dreams should not be interpreted in terms of whether your body is perfect in form and function, but whether you have the willpower and strength of spirit to achieve your goals. The shadow aspect of athletes may manifest in dreams about cheating, suggesting a lack of honor in yourself or someone you know.

My Dream Interpretation
by myjellybean
To dream that you are an athlete, suggests that you have pushed yourself to the limits. You have achieved something which you thought you could not do.
To dream of watching or meeting an athlete suggests that you are having a conflict of opinion, or a differing viewpoint, from someone in your life.
