Jokes
To dream of jokes represents feelings about not taking a situation seriously, finding humor in circumstances, or emotionally distancing yourself from problems through amusement, wit, or laughter. A desire to lighten the mood, reduce tension, make difficult situations easier to accept, or cope with uncertainty by finding something funny about it. The ability to see absurdity, irony, or hidden truths in situations. Surprise or embarrassment that you have to lighten up, even when you didn't think it mattered.
Negatively, dreaming about jokes could represent avoidance, denial, immaturity, or refusing to take important matters seriously enough. Making light of problems that require responsibility, using humor to hide insecurity, or dismissing the feelings and concerns of other people. Embarrassment, mockery, ridicule, or feeling that your problems, efforts, or emotions are not being taken seriously by others. Controlling yourself having to lighten up even when you don't want to.
Example: A woman dreamed of her deceased grandfather telling jokes. In waking life, she was experiencing financial problems. In this case, her deceased grandfather telling jokes may have reflected her feelings about someone else's wiser or more experienced decision-making overriding her own worries in a manner that encouraged her to lighten up, stop taking her financial problems so seriously, and see that becoming overly stressed wasn't helping the situation.
