To dream that you are playing games, indicates that you need to take a break from your daily life. It is time to relax. Alternatively, the dream symbolizes the spirit of competition and the rules you live by. Consider the type of game you are playing for additional significance.

People dream about all different types of games. Some are simple and borrowed from daily life, like football or Trivial Pursuits. Other games in dreams are bizarre, incredible, totally unrealistic, and some are even sadistic. To interpret the dream you must consider its greater context and your emotional reactions in it. Some games are simply a form of entertainment from your unconscious. You may be having fun in your dream. This is not all that common, but it does happen from time to time. Other "game" dreams may represent the challenges in your life, your competitive nature, or your childishness. They may point out goals to be achieved or are a simple way to let out steam. The game in your dream could also represent "the game of life." This is not an original thought on my part, but it deserves attention and consideration. If you are playing a strange game with people from your daily life, consider your interactions with them and the role that each individual plays.

To dream that you are dreaming, signifies your emotional state. You are excessively worried and fearful about a situation or circumstance that you are going through.
