On ABBAMAIL today, one of the members declared Earlier this week I had an ABBA dream … very unusual because as far as I know I don’t dream much and most of the time I forget it straight away and usualy I don’t dream about “them”.
Throughout my life I’ve also had recurrent “ABBA Dreams” and it wasn’t until I read his email that I wondered about what they might mean. So I surfed the net and this is what I found…
Dream Doctor: Dreams of friendly interaction with celebrities reflect feelings of increased social status – a celeb treats us “like an equal.” Attempts to contact a celebrity reflect needs for recognition, attention, and validation in our lives. If we experience difficulty reaching the celebrity, this may reflect unfulfilled desires for status and approval.
Sleeps: To dream of celebrities shows that you are letting too much pomp and circumstance convince you to act certain ways that are against your better nature, this could be to your downfall in the area of the heart. To dream that you are a celebrity denotes that you desire to fly higher then your social life and means allow. To dream a loved one becomes a celebrity shows that you have a secret fear of losing this person to the world.
Newspaper Article: As the media continues to create stronger icon status for people in the news, it is not surprising that lay people are dreaming of them as well. It is not at all unusual for people to think they ‘know’ particular public figures and so to experience them in a dream. Dreaming of any particular celebrity often reveals a fantasy for friendship or romance. These dreams may also show a sense of being a peer or equal to that celebrity, as if to say, ‘I can do that, too.’ A second aspect of this phenomenon is living vicariously through a celebrity. In this instance, people will assume a peculiar sense of participation with a public figure’s success and notoriety. Another variation of this is becoming a celebrity yourself. This may include performing with other celebrities while achieving your own icon status. This kind of notoriety may be showing you your own talent (or sense thereof) in a particular area, or it may be intended to encourage you to pursue a higher ambition for yourself. Of course, because today’s media completely inundates the public with images and rumours of celebrities, they may appear in your dream simply as extraneous static.
Weirdest of all though is…

There are lots of different theories underpinning dream analysis. So behind each of these interpretations is something much deeper… and they all say the dreams need to be analysed within a broader context blah blah… but anyway…
