What It Really Means When You Dream About A Celebrity

What the celebrity in your dream is doing and how you are relating to them matters as much as who they are. For instance, if you just spot a celebrity briefly, it could represent higher aspirations that you are chasing but have yet to attain. You should also pay attention to what that particular person is famous for, because that could signify a passion of yours that you are just beginning to unlock or a talent you want to continue to hone (via Bustle). If you dream of being friends with a celebrity, it could be an idealized version of a friendship you already have, or it could represent your self confidence (if Jennifer Anniston wants to have coffee with me, I must be pretty cool!).
Dreaming that you yourself are a celebrity might actually denote you are feeling the opposite, and that you are in need of recognition, praise, and acknowledgement from the people in your life. Consider if you've been feeling neglected in a relationship or under-appreciated at work. Lastly, the one we all hate to admit but love to experience: celebrity sex dreams. If you have a midnight rendezvous with a famous person, yes, it could just mean you're attracted to them and your mind is allowing you to live out a fantasy, but it's also possible that it's symbolic of your own drive for success, and all that... um... work is representative of actual effort leading to a... well... climax of the career variety (via Bustle).
