Circus

Full Interpretation

Circuses in dreams represent performance, spectacle, the extraordinary within the ordinary, controlled danger, and the balance between entertainment and exploitation. A circus suggests your life feels like a performance or that you are juggling many roles and responsibilities. Psychologically, the circus symbolises the spectacular performances of the psyche — the acrobat, the clown, the animal tamer each representing different psychological functions. Running away to join the circus reflects the desire for adventure. Spiritually, the circus reminds you that life is both miraculous and absurd, and that the greatest performances require both courage and grace.
