Sport may carry sexual symbolism, and the dream may express sexual desire.
1. Moving in faith;
2. Spiritual warfare; Eph. 6:12.
From a spiritual perspective, sport in dreams suggests the ability to keep the ‘temple’ of the physical body in peak condition.
To be the best requires discipline and means calling on reserves of power and energy we may not know we have. Sporting activities were, and indeed still are, used to channel excess energy.
Psychological / emotional perspective: Psychologically, any sport requires us to overcome our own inadequacies and to have courage beyond the norm. Taking part in competitive sport in dreams will signify our ability to be competitive in other areas in life. Tackling an opponent is confronting a problem, whereas fishing tackle is a means to an end.
Material aspects: Sport, as a dream symbol of business and working life, is a potent image. Team games will represent the ability to work in harmony with others, whereas athletic activities in dreams may suggest personal excellence. Acting as a referee highlights our ability to control circumstances around us.
To challenge the referee is to be challenging authority.
Dreaming of participating in a sport may suggest that the dreamer is in excellent physical condition or needs some exercise or recreation.
Playing sports may represent some aspects of the way that we run our lives, or may refer to internal struggles where one part of the dreamer’s psyche or personality is attempting to “win” over another. At times life is like a challenging sport. We compete, try to win, and attempt to develop our abilities so that we will succeed. In the dream, the outcome of the game may say something about how well we are doing. Do we feel competent and successful; are we playing fair, or is the sport more competitive than what we are comfortable with? In order to understand the dream, consider the details and attempt to identify what in daily life creates similar emotions. All sports and games have specific rules and boundaries. Your performance within this framework may represent the struggle against inner conflicts such individual fears and weaknesses, or may be referring to a pragmatic problem or situation at work or in your relationships.
Your level of sportsmanship in life; how you play the game, operating above winning and losing, being a good sport or a poor one. Making sport out of love, playing at it, rather than working on your own numbers and growing within relationships.
A particular sport may reflect need for exercise, self- discipline.
