Ten Thousand Dream Dictionary

by Pamela Ball
1- Actually experiencing ourselves in dreams as playing the martyr highlights our tendency to do things without being sufficiently assertive to say no, and to act from a sense of duty. When we are aware of someone else being a martyr we may have too high expectations of that person.

2- Dreaming of a religious martyr often means we need to question our own religious beliefs and upbringing. We are perhaps allowing excessive enthusiasm to guide us.

3- We may feel the need, spiritually, to become a sacrificial victim and hence give our life some meaning. However, this should be looked at closely, as it may not be necessary.
