The circus is a favorite pastime for children and many adults. Bright costumes, cheerful music, complex stunts, funny clowns, exotic animals - such an unusual sight improves your mood, makes you admire and worry.
However, a dream about a circus is not always favorable. To interpret it correctly, you need to take into account all the details of the dream about the circus, first of all, what numbers you saw, how well they were performed, how the audience reacted, whether you were among the spectators or performers.
An important factor for the meaning of such a dream is how you yourself feel about the circus in reality - whether you are a fan of this genre or recognize the accuracy of the “some kind of circus” metaphor.
Circus according to Freud's dream book
Seeing a circus performance in a dream means that soon you will have to seek help from a specialist who will help you in a rather delicate matter.

Dream Interpretation - Wild Animals
Wild animals can represent areas of our lives that are out of control. Many animals have a symbolic meaning, which largely explains their presence in dreams. Think about what this wild animal is associated with in real life to understand the reason for its presence in your dream.
Dreams about taming wild animals are most likely not dreams about animals, but about interpersonal success or self-discipline. In many cases, the fact of peaceful coexistence with animals is a sign of harmony and hope for “smooth” interpersonal relationships in our lives.
Is the wild animal a threat to you or is it submissive to you?
Interpretation of dreams from Loff's Dream Book
Let's talk about the meaning of the image
Many sources of interpretation quite justifiably connect the plots of dreams with the associations they evoke in most people.
When discussing why you dream of a circus, you should dwell on the duality of this entertainment institution. On the one hand, this is a place where illusions reign, making you laugh and admire. The circus is created to entertain people. On the other hand, creating a performance is serious, hard, and sometimes risky work. Therefore, there is no clear approach to deciphering this image. Circus combines many different things. This is the childish spontaneity of great clowns, the courage of trainers of predatory animals, the incredible dexterity and strength of gymnasts, and the deception of illusionists.
What exactly did you dream about? The decryption will depend on this. Whether you were at the show or just next to the tent, whether you entered the arena or were among the audience - everything matters. Therefore, when analyzing why you dream about a circus, the dream book recommends fully recalling the plot of the vision. Only after this try to choose a decryption for your case.
Where did you see the circus in your dream?
Circus in your city
According to the dream book, a circus in your city symbolizes a love story. An old acquaintance will be transformed in your eyes thanks to a happy occasion for him. A spark will fly between you, and your old relationship will reach a new level.
Circus on the street
A circus on the street in a scene seen in a dream is a confession of feelings. Your secret admirer will get tired of keeping his feelings locked up and will dare to take the first step. Expect pleasant surprises and be prepared to make a big decision.
Pagliacci
If in a dream you were in the role of a clown, get ready to be made a laughing stock in front of a large number of people (you will find yourself in a stupid position).
Applying makeup means that in reality you are trying to hide your problems.
I dreamed of a circus in which there was a fire. Right during the show. People rushed about, ran in, looked for a way out. I was the only one who was calm. I looked at them running around, but for some reason I wasn’t worried at all.
Something incomprehensible was also happening to the circus building: it was going underground. All the supporting structures, all the walls - everything was twisted into some kind of funnel and sucked into the ground. Like in a swamp.
I was one of the last to get out of the circus, using some kind of secret staircase. Just in time to see its black, peaked roof extending into the ground. Before I woke up, I saw a large black clown sitting on a stump and looking at me.
The next morning I felt kind of sick, my temperature rose
. I stayed at home, didn’t go anywhere and looked at pictures on the Internet. In one of the pictures I saw a clown - exactly the same as in my dream, only in color. And he looked at me just as strangely.
Then the flu got worse, and I spent several days in bed.

Interpretation of dreams from the Noble Dream Book
Clowns
If in the land of Morpheus you were amused by a decorated clown, doubts and worries await you. Certain events will cause a feeling of deception. But what it consists of cannot be immediately understood. The dream encourages greater attentiveness towards those people who inspire undoubted trust. Think about what this attitude towards them is based on, is it justified by their actions?
Unfortunately, one of the authorities will turn out to be a “dummy”. He is the clown who entertained you in your dreams. This person uses everyone around him for his own selfish interests. It is advisable to take off your rose-colored glasses and face the truth. This will prevent a lot of troubles that this “clown” gets you into.
Gymnasts in the arena
It's even more dangerous to see a magician. This is a sign of certain danger and loss. You are ready to believe scammers who encroach on something valuable. The danger is already close. Try to listen more carefully to promises. Most likely, such a dream foreshadows a request for help, with the help of which an evil enemy will try to shift his own guilt onto your shoulders.
Dream books recommend associating this image with hard work. If you watched their somersaults under the dome or in the arena, you will take on serious obligations. Their execution will require every effort. But the result will be great. People will honor you with respect and praise. Finding yourself in the country of Morpheus as a gymnast means success in reality.
What you work on will soon bring great profit and recognition from society. The dream is positive for creative people who strive to create something useful for humanity. But it promises only wonderful events for ordinary citizens. We must not stop working; it is going in the right direction. An accident in the arena promises disappointment and the collapse of dreams in reality.
The subconscious hints that the dreamer did not take into account all the risks when getting involved in an adventurous event. Unfortunately, hopes for success were not destined to come true. It is necessary to take measures to get out of the project that is currently captivating a person. He leads him to a dangerous abyss, from which it will not be easy to get out. When decoding dreams about the circus, try to remember your childhood emotions about the performances.
Dream Interpretation - Animals as a symbol
This concept includes all the diversity of the animal world.
Let's turn to ancient religions: animals were revered in India, Egypt and Mesopotamia.
Man was identified with a strong and intelligent animal, and therefore was endowed with the qualities of this beast.
Here you can also see the erotic component.
In the love positions of tantrism, a person imitates an animal in order to be saturated with its energy, to awaken dormant instincts and primitive forces within himself.
Dream interpreters often advise those who turn to them to go into the forests to find the source of life there.
Interpretation of dreams from the Dream Interpretation of Sexual Dreams
Dream Interpretation - Wild animals
Wild animals symbolize sexual intercourse, but not a simple one. They are symbols of raw passions and strong sensual desires. The appearance of wild animals in your dream may also indicate your strong sensual arousal.
If animals attack a man, then he fears the consequences of his promiscuity in sexual contacts.
If animals attacked a woman, then she has masochistic tendencies and wants a very (!) temperamental lover. But perhaps she simply overestimates her desires and capabilities.
If you hunt wild animals, then you are promiscuous in your numerous sexual contacts, and are proud of your new victories.
Interpretation of dreams from Freud's Dream Book
Dream Interpretation - Circus rope
Are you feeling tense? Should you walk on a tightrope? Are you stressed or under unbearable pressure? This sign tells you to relax and reassess your values.
Stress turns a molehill into a molehill and makes your obstacles insurmountable.
Having released excess tension, take a deep breath and relax, look at your difficulties in a different perspective.
Interpretation of dreams from the American Dream Book
Dream Interpretation - Animals
For a dream interpreter, it makes no significant difference whether these characters are human or animal.
But the appearance of animals in a dream enhances the manifestation of the dreamer’s internal sensory problems. Man is a dual being. On the one hand, he has a spiritual, conscious beginning. On the other hand, it has a biological nature. Even in the appearance of some people, animal features are visible.
A girl may subtly resemble a squirrel or a cat.
We compare a broad-shouldered, strong man to a bull, and a refined but sensual man to a thoroughbred horse.
But much more often than in external appearance, animal traits manifest themselves in our instincts and direct behavior.
In dreams, these instincts are separated from the dreamer's conscious self and embodied in animal images.
These animals can reflect fear, rage, hunger or defenselessness and abandonment.
Understanding the meaning for the dreamer of an animal is similar to understanding the signs of nature.
Remember, a gloomy landscape, rain, clouds, cold, snow, ice in a dream accompany unfavorable circumstances in reality.
A beautiful sunny day, bright blue sky, clean clear water - these signs foretell positive changes in your life.
Dreamed animals are also viewed from the same perspective.
Dirty, skinny, hungry animals bring a bad forecast for the seer.
Evil, aggressive, scary creatures in your dream are also unfavorable for the future.
The appearance of clean, kind, affectionate animals is a completely different matter.
They portend peace and happiness in your real life.
Animals in fairy tales are always humanized. But in some stories there is a direct reference to the transformation of people into animals. And only when the spell is lifted from them do the animals become human again.
“The Frog Princess”, “The Scarlet Flower”.
Animals are the main helpers of humans. “Tsarevich Ivan and the Gray Wolf”, “The Little Humpbacked Horse”, “Puss in Boots”. These fairy-tale characters have already entered the unconscious of people as archetypes and can come into our dreams as advisers.
Ordinary animals reflect our basic private instincts: sexuality, hunger, impetuosity, aggression and the like.
Their appearance in dreams predicts some process in our lives that has a beginning and an end.
Interpretation of dreams from the Self-Teacher on Dream Interpretation
Dream Interpretation - Animals
They represent the instincts of the human body or the forces of nature and signify the potential for action for the subject, appearing in a dream either as value or as danger, depending on the subject's perception of the behavior and character of the individual animal. If a person feels superior to a dreaming animal, then these forces are functional for him, otherwise they indicate a danger threatening him. However, the image of an animal in itself is never negative.
