The Element Encyclopedia

Dreams in which you are being interviewed are extremely common, especially if you are applying for a job in real life. Such dreams may reflect your true fears about the interview process but if you are not applying for a job, the dream image suggests that you are feeling uncertain about a path you have chosen in waking life. If, in your dream, you are told that you have or have not got the job, this shows how well you feel you are coping with a current project.

If you are late for your interview or miss it, this indicates that you feel you have missed out on an opportunity.

If you are giving a presentation in your dream, consider your feelings about the task.

If you enjoyed it, you may feel that you are a good communicator; if you were terrified, you may doubt your ability.

If you are the interviewer, you may be looking to solve a problem in waking life. Who were you interviewing, what did they represent and how might this help you in waking life?

Strangest Dream Explanations

by Dream Explanations - Anonymous
To dream of an interview reflects integration, wisdom and healing in that two potentially aspects of yourself, the interviewee and the interviewer, are seeking to find common ground and unity. Alternatively, if you are being interviewed, then you are accessing your wisdom, sitting in the seat of authority.

If you are the interviewer, then this represents your curious nature, and that you are learning something new about yourself and life.
