Using psychology we find that REAL "popular" dreams (in our database) link to the following real feelings(each quote represents the thought or feeling that triggered the dream. Links to full dreams and analyses appear at the bottom of this page)

- "I have a CRUSH on a man but I am starting to realise that other girls are ATTRACTED to him as well. There is a lot of COMPETITION for his AFFECTIONS."

- "I am feeling UNDERVALUED at work. I should be more RECOGNISED FOR MY TALENTS."

- "I thought she was acting all IMPORTANT but I was just trying to act naturally with her. I later found out she wanted to be along because she had cancer."

"Popular" in dreams: Understanding dreams is not so difficult. In practice dream symbols translate into certain words within the English language. For instance a dream with "popular" in it may simply translate into a phrase like "competing with others" and the dream capture an everyday thought such as "I want to be a professional artist but I realise that there is lots of competition and it would be a difficult way to make a living". Dreams will link to thoughts which can be translated into quotes like this. Once you can think of a quote like this you start to really touch on the heart of a dreams meaning.

Keywords linked to "popular" in dreams
In practice "popular" in dreams has several symbolic meanings. Here is the list at present. Try to write down quotes which capture your key feelings right now but which also feature the words listed below.
- "Competing with others" Are you wanting to get involved with someone but you are realising that they are very popular?
- "Feeling undervalued" Do you think that people should recognise your abilities more than they should? Do you feel as if you are being taken for granted by someone?

Dreams are in the here and now which means that any analysis is made much more easier. Many people make the mistake of trying to link a dream to something in the long and distant past. So any analysis inevitably links a dream to something vague and deep in the past and too general to have any real meaning. In this case a dream where there is "popular" can simply translate into a word like "undervalued". Always try to translate a dreams meaning into a quote about something very specific in the here and now. For instance, in the case of the example just given the meaning could link to a thought like "I get sick of being taken for granted at work. I work hard and I am good at my job but people just undervalue me".

What immediately comes to mind will usually give you the answer to your dreams meaning. Dreams are in the here and now because they are part of the process whereby we transfer thoughts and emotions from short term into long term memory. Simply look for associations with the symbols in your dream and think of what comes into your mind. When you make a connection look for other associations which will help you understand how your mind stores intuitive thoughts.
