Clowns Dream Meanings

Clowns Dream Meaning: From 3 Different Sources


Clowns

Universal Landscape: Subversive, untrustworthy expressions of playful energy.

Dreaming Lens: Was there a clown in your dream? Were you the clown? Was there more than one clown? What was the setting? Was the clown happy or sad? Was the clown performing? Was the image of the clown delightful or creepy?

Personal Focus: Clowns are a fascinating image and have an ironic ability to contain enormous contradictions. They are playful and childlike, but also grotesque. There is a subversive quality to the concept of the clown: They are seemingly innocuous, but with something possibly darker lurking just below the surface. Their expressions are permanently fixed and, therefore, not to be trusted. However, the entertainment they provide can be masterful and absolutely delightful, when done right.

If you are someone for whom clowns are just fun and delightful, then consider the humorous side of this meaning for your interpretation. Is there some aspect of life in which you are clowning around? This symbol in a dream could mean a need to rein in your buffoonery, or it could mean the opposite view and be a push to lighten up and be more playful.

On the other hand, if either the dream itself had sinister overtones, or if you are someone who, in life, finds clowns to be creepy by nature, you may want to consider the darker side of this interpretation. Look to where there may be some mistrust in how a lighthearted situation may be hiding something more sinister underneath.
