Theater in a dream
Folk tradition reads a theater in a dream as the roles we play before others and a wish to be understood.
Old dream books read the theater as a picture of society, where everyone has a role and a moment on stage. In folk belief a dream about a theater speaks of how you present yourself to people and how much their opinion matters to you. Applause is read as recognition on its way, and a rising curtain as the start of a new act. The dream is believed to encourage the shy and to remind you that stage fright is a sign that you care.
