Dancing

Dancing can be a powerful psychological or spiritual release for people. Many cultures view dancing as a sacred, as well as a recreational, event. Dancing before religious icons has been a symbol of praise and sacrifice to divinity for 30 centuries or longer. Often these dances were done to elicit favour or providence from the gods. In contemporary culture, dancing is more for fun and has its roots in mating rituals. This is a fancy way of saying we dance in the hope of getting lucky. As such, dancing has taken on more of a sexual connotation for many people.

If you are dancing alone, this may be a regression to a more sacred understanding of dance. Dancing with others may include a sense of participation with the world around you, depending on the dance and nature of clothing. Do you fit in well? Another variation on dancing with others is when your relationships are going through change. This may be especially true if you are considering starting a romantic relationship among several choices of partner.

Others dancing for you may indicate your perception of them, especially if the dance has flirtatious or overt sexual content. This may reflect either your feelings of desire for them or a sense of their desire for you. Dreams of this kind may strike the dreamer as crass or exhibitionist in nature.

If you are dancing alone, is the style of dance appropriate to solitary movement, or are you dancing in a waltz pose without a partner? Perhaps you feel as though the others are not following your lead or fulfilling their role in a relationship. If the dance and music seem incongruent, or if you are dancing without music, are you doubting the appropriateness of any facet of your life or relationships? If others are dancing for you, is it sexual, performance, or ceremonial?
