The Big Dictionary of Dreams

by Martha Clarke
Dancing in dreams reflects how you move in your inner circle. Through dance you can harmonize internal opposing sides, so this kind of dream often has a strong emotional sense. Depending on how it develops it is possible to draw conclusions applicable to sexual, emotional, familial, social, or professional relations. So, if you see a group of people dancing, it means that you should be more generous and live each moment intensely, without staying on the sidelines of the world. On the contrary, dancing merrily indicates that you are happy with how things are going and you feel free from any influence. It also denotes the possibility that your current situation improves. Dancing with your beloved indicates that your love is requited. However if it is a costume dance, the dream is a warning that you must avoid being hypocritical to your partner.

If you see a man and a woman dancing it can show the harmonious union of the masculine and feminine sides of your personality.

In a dream, dancing can be a spiritual symbol that expresses, for example, the dance of Shiva, the Hindu god of eternal flow of time, the power of creation and destruction. To see old people dancing ensures success in business; dancing at a wedding, disease; with family, luck. It also augurs well for the prisoner, who will be released shortly.

The Element Encyclopedia

by Theresa Cheung
In dreams, dancing and skating (see ACCIDENTS, ACTION AND ADVENTURES) usually express a sense of happiness and celebration, or a freedom of movement and emotion. Perhaps you are feeling pleased about a particular project or relationship. You may also be feeling a sense of freedom from restraint. Other things may also be expressed by dance. For example, if you danced with another person, the intimacy could suggest sexual intercourse.

If a man and a woman dance together, it could suggest a union of the masculine and feminine aspects of your personality. If, however, the dance was awkward, this suggests a lack of harmony. Animals dancing can suggest a feeling of harmony with your unconscious drives and sexuality. Skeletons and dark things dancing suggest meeting what you fear in your waking life.
