What does it mean to dream about a graduation?

To dream about a graduation represents your most recent achievements.

Perhaps you have transitioned to a higher level at work, at college or university and you feel a sense of relief that it’s finally under your belt and you can move on to more important ventures.

You may have been working hard to reach another level and you have proved yourself to those who matter.

If you couldn’t graduate in your dream it’s possible you aren’t giving yourself enough credit for what you have achieved already in life. Try not to downplay or short change your accomplishments- you might not be reaching your goals at the same rate as everyone else, but you will get there if you persevere.

If you forgot to attend your graduation, then you may not be ready for the next part of your life. You are holding yourself back because you are not prepared for the new stage. Try asking yourself why. Is someone affecting your confidence in yourself or is something from your past causing you to feel unprepared?

To wear a cap and gown in your dreamscape represents a need to move on and a readiness for change. Perhaps you want to move up at work or are ready to take on a new challenge. Maybe you want to take your relationship to the next level or to have more than you do.

If you saw someone else in a cap and gown perhaps someone is taking the credit for all your hard work or you want to achieve more than you are now. In other words, you want to be in their shoes and reach your full potential.

To be naked at your graduation suggests that you are nervous about an upcoming speech or the next level in your learning process. Try not to focus too much on the embarrassment you felt in the dream- it is normal to experience apprehension over the unknown.
