Did you dream about being awake? A friend told me she dreamed she woke up in her old apartment but everything felt off, like she wasn’t really there. I later looked up what that kind of dream might mean.
What does a dream in which you wake up (false awakening) mean?
A dream where you wake up, often referred to as a false awakening, suggests that there’s something lacking in your life. It points to an area where you’re not fully realizing your potential. You might not be aware of your own strengths, or perhaps you’re feeling mentally and physically drained, struggling to cope with various aspects of your life. This dream encourages you to open your eyes and recognize the opportunities and possibilities that await you.
Experiencing a wake-up moment in your dream can also indicate a lucid dream.
