Ten Thousand Dream Dictionary

by Pamela Ball
1- When in dreams we expect obedience from someone, we are acknowledging our own power and authority over others.

To dream of having to be obedient to others indicates we are aware of their greater authority and knowledge, and also of the disem- powerment that has occurred.

2- If we find ourselves in the position of being obedient to someone we know in an unexpected situation, we can often expect to have an easier relationship with them in the future, perhaps because we are able to acknowledge them in a different way.

3- To be obedient, in the spiritual sense, suggests a submission to the Greater Good, and after much struggle, to the spiritual side of oneself.

If it denotes firmness and discipline, it is a positive sign from the unconscious. But if the dreamer feels humiliated or put down, the dream reflects a situation of inconformity or lack of self expression that should be remedied.
