Pac-Man
To dream of the video game Pac-Man represents a challenging experience to test the limits to see how far you can take a situation by trying to stay active doing new things while other people (or people from the past) don't want you to. Your determination to pursue opportunities or goals even when faced with obstacles or resistance from others. Being determined to pursue an opportunity while avoiding the "ghosts" of what people have said to you about it not being possible.
Negatively, dreaming about Pac-Man may represent wasting your time or looking stupid trying to test the limits to do new things when other people are right about already telling you it's possible. Wasting your time trying to escape good advice about something new you are trying that's not possible. Feeling that you can't escape the past or past advice from holding you back.
Pac-Man symbolism commonly appears in dreams with space or stars possibly to reflect an incredible opportunity that's never happened before with a feeling that other people don't want to allow it to happen.
Example: A teenage girl dreamed of seeing Pac-Man. In waking life, she was very motivated to move out and away from her mother to start her own life. She was aware of herself still being a minor and dependent on her mother financially. In this case, Pac-Man may have reflected her awareness of herself asserting her individuality and desiring a new life moving out while still feeling constrained by her dependence on her mother. She may have been aware of herself wasting time challenging herself to stay active doing whatever she had to in order to prepare to move out and have a life away from her mother while facing the reality of other people (ghosts) always being right that it wasn't realistic.
