Arenas in dreams have some interesting symbolism, but they are wholly dependent on the type of arena you dream of, as these represent wildly different things.
One feature which links all types of arena is that they are designed for entertainment, and this has been true since before Roman times. But what does dreaming of an arena actually mean?
What does Dreaming of an Arena Mean?
Dreaming of an arena denotes that there is something on your mind you wish you could be honest about.
Arenas, by their very nature, are very public venues, and most of them are curved, so that audiences can enjoy the best view possible, unobstructed.
In a dream, being in the center of an arena reveals that you wish you could be completely honest without fear or the possibility of being judged holding you back. You want to feel free.
Dreaming of a Fighting in an Arena
Dreaming of fighting in an arena reveals that you are trying your hardest to succeed. This is not because you’re picturing success, however. What drives you is a fear of failure.
Perhaps you’ve spent your time up until now in a place of planning rather than action, and the only time you have now is to put your plan in place and hope for the best.
This can denote a deep insecurity which is tied to how successful you feel you are at any one time. Your self-esteem is inextricably linked to how you measure your own successes and failures, and while this acts as a great motivator, it may not always be sustainable.
This fear of failing may not concern your professional life at all, but it can creep into other aspects of your life such as your love life, relationships with your friends and family, feeling the need to appear competent.
Watching Gladiators Fight in Your Dream
If you dream of watching gladiators fight to the death, you have two conflicting opinions driving you crazy right now.
This may be in terms of your expectations of how a situation in waking life might play out.
Part of you has noticed signs of success, but a negative aspect of your personality is insisting that something will go wrong, and you’re not sure which you should believe.
On the surface, you may act as though you have no qualms about something failing, and you’re pretending everything is perfect.
Fear may drive you to do so, where you think someone may take advantage of your doubt, or what you feel is a weakness.
But there is no shame in admitting that something no longer works for you if that is the case, or a situation is no longer worth your time.
A Circus Arena in Your Dream
Dreaming of a circus arena denotes that you are exhausted from the problems waking life is piling on your plate.
You feel an overwhelming urge to escape your responsibilities and concerns, as deep down you feel this is the only way to deal with them. Consider the phrase ‘running away with the circus’.
Dreaming of a Sporting Arena
Dreaming of an arena used for sporting competitions indicates you are encountering an issue which is much bigger than you. Even with help, you may not be able to solve it.
Alternatively, dreaming of a sporting arena points to your faith in your abilities, as well as your high levels of competence. You are a very competitive person, and these traits will carry you far in life.
An Empty Arena Appearing in Your Dream
Dreaming of a deserted arena mirrors how isolated you feel. You long for company.
This dream can reflect how you struggle with letting new people into your life, as you feel the need to protect yourself and hold things back.
Or, you always end up presenting a ‘curated’ picture of yourself toward new people, which doesn’t resemble the real you, and this is an issue in itself.
This dream is urging you to find the people that you will connect effortlessly with, if you haven’t already. You won’t feel the need to hide who you are from those whose souls ‘speak’ to yours, who you find forming a connection with effortlessly.
