Confused
To dream of being confused may mirror waking life situations where you are unsure, lack clarity, or are unsure about how to address problems. Lacking determination, confidence, or clear aims. Problems speaking up about needing help. Feeling insecure about choices you've made not being perfect. Feeling overwhelmed by complications, sophisticated problems, or too much information. Allowing your sense of obligation or obsession with problem solving to frustrate you or distract you. You may benefit from focusing only on simple things or what's most important in a situation. Putting up with problems for extended periods of time. Naively believing you have no choice about putting up with a problem.
Negatively, being confused in a dream may reflect fear or anxiety about looking incompetent in front of others. Problems making a final decision. Insecurity about asking for help or answers. Dangerously allowing yourself to "drift along" in a situation without asking for help. Fearing asking for help or getting a second opinion. Choosing to live with complications. Frustrations with problems you are coping with.
Alternatively, from a negative perspective confusion in a dream may reflect ego problems. Trouble understanding why other people don't like you when you are too controlling, arrogant in your ways, or refuse to change to accommodate others. A lack of experience dealing with other people's feelings.
Example: A man dreamed of feeling very confused and hazy. In waking life he was dealing with a health problem that made it difficult for him to concentrate.
Example 2: A woman dreamed of getting confused. In waking life her doctors decided to take her off her medication when she felt she wasn't better and didn't know what to do to help herself deal with her problem.
Example 3: A man dreamed of feeling confused. In waking he was having trouble trying to figure out why he was always making bad choices that ruined his life.
