Court

If you are the court judging another person: you feel injured by someone, but not yet ready to confront that person openly.

If you are the spectator in a courtroom: unconscious memories have surfaced; you have a bad conscience because of a past mistake or action.

If you are ordered to appear as a witness: a friend or acquaintance is in desperate need of help. Being served with a subpoena: a warning that others are trying to blame you for something. Being convicted: you are wasting your time waiting to be thanked for something you did.

Depth Psychology: The court is symbolic of many things: trying to make up your mind about somebody; trying to find a possible connection between things, or coming clean with yourself. Sometimes a dream about a court implies that you need to defend yourself against other people and their prejudice, slander, or hostility.

If you dream of being hauled up in court on charges this indicates that the dreamer may have circumstances in his/her life that may cause a certain amount of worry about the law, and it is telling the dreamer to change these things; like an early warning system.

It is also a prediction of financial reverses that can be staved off if you do not waste time, and keep your nose to the grindstone.

Dreaming of courting, or being courted, is very bad luck, especially for a woman, as the lover she has her heart set on will never propose.

Being judged by a judge or jury in court can represent: feeling subject to scrutiny or judgment by others in some aspect of your life (perhaps because you’ve done something that could get you into trouble), feeling guilty, the need to explain or defend yourself, or the need to apologize or make amends for something.
