Movie

To dream that you are watching a movie represents an experience you are having in life. The movie or TV show is then a symbol for what kind of experience you are having. Consider what the movie makes you feel or think and how it parallels situations in your waking life. Think about what the characters or storylines mean to you as symbols for your own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Your thoughts about how life scenarios or relationships unfold in a scripted or predestined manner, similar to a movie plot. A sense of fascination, entertainment, or learning from observed experiences.

To dream of filming a Hollywood movie represents feelings about creating experiences that other people need to find incredible or believable. Preparations, plans, or lies in order to make other people believe a story you're telling so something incredible will happen. Interesting someone else is the most incredible experience of their life. A situation that is developing that you know others will take a serious interest in. Feelings about other people going out of their way to experience something you're responsible for making happen.

Example: A young man dreamed of filming a Hollywood movie. In waking life, his computer was failing and he had to do everything he could to fix it before asking his parents for a new one so he'd ensure they believed he needed a new computer. In this case, filming a Hollywood movie may have reflected having to recount a believable story to his parents about how incredibly hard he tried to fix his computer and how pointless it was so that he'd have an incredible experience or "movie ending" of getting a new computer.

Example 2: A man dreamed of being inside a movie theatre about to sit down. In waking life, he had a number of plans to participate in an ayahuasca spiritual retreat in another country. The movie theatre reflected all his preparations to have the incredible and unusual experience at the spiritual retreat.

Movie Take

To dream of a Movie Take represents feelings about attempts at perfection, rehearsal, or the need for repetition in life. The process of trying and retrying to achieve a desired outcome or perfecting a skill. Feelings about the importance of practice, preparation, and the effort put into perfecting an aspect of your life. Your thoughts and emotions related to a situation that feels like it's being staged or observed. Your ability to view a situation from a detached, objective perspective while being aware that mistakes can happen. Feelings about adjustments to make an experience for someone else perfect.

Positively, dreaming about a movie take may represent persistence, dedication, or the pursuit of excellence. A sense of control and direction in your life, as if you are orchestrating your own storyline or taking charge of a specific situation. A conscious choice to refine and improve your abilities or work towards a goal with determination. This dream could also be indicative of learning from mistakes, adapting to feedback, and the willingness to keep trying until you succeed.

Negatively, dreaming about a movie take could represent feelings of frustration, inadequacy, or the fear of not performing well enough to make other people like it. Feelings of artificiality or superficiality in your waking life. Not liking needing to repeat yourself to please others. A sense of being inauthentic or the perception that you are merely acting out a role, rather than living authentically. A cycle of repetition without progress, feeling stuck in a loop, or the pressure to meet high standards of performance without error. Perhaps you feel that you are constantly having to prove yourself or that your efforts are never quite satisfactory. A fear of public failure or criticism.
