What does it mean when you dream that you are somebody else?

Answer 1

I don't know, but this happens to me quite frequently. It's always someone whom I have never met or even heard of and they loook like nobody I have ever seen. Multiple times, I have been an American soldier who died in Vietnam, a blonde Hippie chick from 1969, a Victorian woman (who was a very sad lady). There are a few one timers, too. I'm glad someone asked this. I don't know anyone who has this experience besides me.

Answer 2

I don't know, but it happens to me quite often. I'm always someone whom I've never met or even heard of, but I'll dream I am this person more than once. The most common have been an American soldier who died in Vietnam, a blonde hippie chick form 1969 who did a lot of acid and lived in Cali, and a Victorian lady. There have been a few one timers here and there. No one else I know does this, so I was glad to see you asked this question.

Answer 3

The child in your dream represents yourself; that inner part of you that will always be child-like, innocent, vulnerable and curious. This particular dream is using the "someone else," whoever that is, to illustrate something about this inner child. For example, if this someone else is an athlete, the dream is telling you something about your missing the sports you enjoyed as a child. Or perhaps the someone is your grandfather - the dream shows you how you have some quality or characteristic of your grandfather inside yourself.

Answer 4

There is not enough information about the dream itself to risk any interpretation. It depends on the sort of person one dreams of being - a criminal? a saint? a warrior or a millionaire? There are far too many possibilities to provide a single answer. Generally speaking, the dream represents an attempt at trying on a different personality or seeing what it feels like to be somebody else.

Answer 5

You probably want to be someone else. Maybe this dream is trying to tell you that you really are someone else, and you are acting like someone you're not.

Answer 6

It means that your subconscious mind is showing another side of your own personality.
