bar

Dreaming Lens: What kind of bar were you in? Was it a place known to you? Were there other people there? If so, did you know who they were? Were you drinking? What were you drinking? What else was happening in the bar?

Personal Focus: The primary focus of a bar is to consume alcohol, therefore, this symbol connects primarily to escapism. Because it is a public place and rooted in the spirit of socializing, there is a second layer of meaning that connects with how people interact in social environments in a spirited and uninhibited way. Your own personal relationship to alcohol and bars in your waking life will play a prominent role in how you interpret a dream that took place in one.

A dream that takes place in a bar could just as easily be expressing a need to relax, lighten up, and party as it could be a warning against the impact of choosing escapism over dealing with things with a clear head. Your reason for being in the bar comes into play with this part of your interpretation. Since one of the primary reasons why people go to bars is to meet people, a dream about a bar may be pointing to a search for some aspect of yourself that feels as if it is missing. If this is the case, the quality in question may be connected to issues that relate to your social life or public persona.

The atmosphere in a bar can run the gamut, from classy to seedy, from subdued to chaotic. Use this information from your dream to add a shade of meaning to your interpretation. The darker the feeling about the place, the more likely you are investigating Shadow material. If you are familiar with the bar from your waking life, consider that the dream is speaking directly to elements of your current experience that center around your relationship with it.

Why you were in the bar will also be a part of your interpretation. Most reasons for going to a bar fall into two categories: to meet people or drink alcohol, or both. If drinking is what is most prominent, then the theme of the dream is definitely about escapism. If connecting with others was part of your storyline, then there are some other things to consider. Any person you are with or looking to meet up with should be interpreted as a Character Aspect of yourself. If this is a stranger, then your unconscious is expressing a message about connecting with some part of you that is not yet clear. That the dream takes place where people are often drunk, may be indicating a need for you to explore why it might be necessary to bring the freedom that alcohol provides into this interaction. Are you too inhibited, or perhaps not reserved enough? (See also Restaurant.)

The primary focus of a bar is to consume alcohol, and thereby this symbol connects primarily to escapism. Because a bar is a public place and is rooted in the spirit of socializing, there is a second layer of meaning that connects with how we are interacting in our social environments in a spirited and uninhibited way. Your own personal relationship to bars and alcohol in your waking life will play a prominent role in how you would interpret a dream that took place in one.
