Dreams of being in a theater reflect aspects of your social life, where the performance may mirror situations in your waking life. The characters in the dream may represent facets of yourself, and you could be taking on a new role. Alternatively, the dream could be a metaphor for being overly theatrical or melodramatic, asking whether you're acting like a 'dream queen.' Laughing or applauding in a theater may indicate choosing pleasure and instant gratification over working toward future goals. Dreaming of a theater on fire suggests embarking on risky new projects.
