💡Possible meaning

A clown in a dream represents your playful and carefree side. It can also symbolize deception, trickery, and hiding your true emotions. It may indicate that you are not taking things seriously enough or that you are not being honest with yourself or others.

🧭 Direction

Relationships

Think about the context of the dream and how the clown made you feel. If you felt happy and entertained, it may be a sign to embrace your playful side. However, if the clown made you feel uneasy or scared, it may be a warning to be cautious of people or situations that seem too good to be true. It's important to be honest with yourself and others, and not to hide behind a facade of humor or deception.

❤️ Feelings

The dream of a clown may evoke a mix of emotions. It can bring feelings of amusement, joy, and laughter, as clowns are often associated with entertainment. However, it can also trigger uneasiness or fear, as clowns can be seen as creepy or unsettling to some individuals. The dream may symbolize a desire for fun and playfulness, or it could represent hidden emotions and the need to mask one's true feelings. Overall, the emotions tied to this dream can vary greatly depending on personal experiences and perceptions of clowns.

School

Dream

All that I remember from my dream is that there were talking horses and evil clowns in it. Also, majority of it took place at a elementary school, and there was one segment of it that took place on the school’s playground. I think there was another part that took place in the school bathroom, but I’m not sure.

Garden

Dream

I was in a garden type - place, with walkways to different areas. It had a white Pickett fence along the walkways, and sometimes there would be an opening into an area that had either had a white picnic bench or a white bench swing. Each area was filled with old friends I had, old friends from high school, and old coworkers I used to be around but not really talk to. I had to pick a bench to sit at to eat lunch, but I didn't want to pick one that had people I've seen but haven't talked to, nor ones I haven't talked to in a bit. Either way, it would be an awkward interaction. Eventually I found myself in an area with one of my old friends on a bench swing, and I sat myself beside her. In the dream I remember her name clearly, but if it were real life, I wouldn't have been able to remember. We swang crazily, having fun, until she was caught for bad behavior and I was just having a warning. After, we actually ate lunch, and I found my projects in school that I forgot about hidden under the table cloth. They were made with such finesse that I couldn't let them go to waste, so I picked them back up carefully and put them under my arm. I had to find my way out of the garden, but I couldn't find my way out, and got stuck going down what seemed to be a dark alley. Since I don't remember entering the garden, I didn't know if this was the actual way or not. Eventually I woke up to being trapped in a basement. I felt pain coursing through my body. I was chained up to a chair and was being monologued by a dark clown with a knife. There was extreme pain in my head and it seemed that I had been scalped. I told him that he could kill me and I wouldn't fight it as long as my projects weren't harmed and were sent back to my parents untouched. He laughed at this and went upstairs. I was then left for dead in the basement. I got free of my restraints and even though I told him I wouldn't leave, I tried looking for a way out anyway. Then I woke up.

Clown

Dream

I was with my family in my home country and in a city I was somewhat familiar with even if it didn’t look like something I knew. My family was in one car and my ex and his family was in another. My family and I found a parking spot close to the McDonalds we were visiting. My ex and his family couldn’t find a spot and drove around for a while. I texted him, asking if he needed help. Since they are foreigners. But they had eventually found one, they parked their car on the stripes on the parking lot because their car was so big. I told him they would get a fine for that but he said they would just pay the fine then. Like it wasn’t a big deal. When we went inside, him and his family got chipped in the neck by an employee since they were American? Suddenly McDonald’s wasn’t much of a restaurant but more like a theater/the movies. We went to go find a spot to sit on one of the rows. There was a stage. Then somehow someone got killed in the crowd, there was blood and me and my family tried to escape along with my ex. I remember someone dying, being stabbed through the back but I don’t know who. I also faintly remember the clown from McDonald’s. It was creepy.

Home Invasion

Dream

It started with someone locking me in a big fenced in area, it was about the size of a baseball field and there was two layers of fencing and the first and second layers had fencing connecting them at the top with bright lights attached, so it made a smaller fenced in area around me like a ring shaped cage, and in that cage they kept this insane clown guy, it was one of those black and white clowns and it was bald so the white covered its whole head, and it never stopped smiling the widest smile it could, that expression was permanently stuck on its face, soon after being put in the middle of this ringed cage the person who locked me in explained to me that this thing was extremely violent and had been locked up for a while, they explained that they kept him under lights so he couldn't sleep either, basically this thing was already aggressive and they pissed it off a bunch for no reason, I tried to talk some sense into them to get them to see that letting it out was a horrible idea but they didn't listen (I think they were watching from a helicopter so they were fine) and they opened the cage, so I ran out and this thing followed me, killing everyone in its path, this thing could crush human skulls with one hand and killed armored men with its bare hands like it was nothing, and I kept getting stopped by these guys in armor and police and such cause they were all working for the person who set this up and tried to stop me from running and hold me in place for the thing chasing me to catch me, but they didn't know it would kill them too, I got stopped multiple times and watched dozens of people die on the way, I ran for what felt like hours, getting caught by people and watching them die and escaping on repeat, then eventually I made it back to my house and tried to lock the thing out but then it was in my room, I don't know why but it had my hoodie on for some reason, and the second I saw it I stopped moving, I was terrified, but then for some reason I tried to approach it, it was like I was about to try and tame a tiger, I took a step and then the thing moved like it would attack again so I ran to the living room and I watched as it came out of my room, but then it went into the kitchen instead, I slowly and quietly followed to see what it was doing and it went into the enclosed porch we have and it stood there, staring at me, so I took another shaky step towards it and I flinched when it moved again, but it pointed to a switch on the wall and it spoke (I never heard it speak before that) and all the thing said was "let me sleep" and I realized I had to turn off the light, so I did and then I woke up still shaking.

Daughter

Dream

I was in a meeting with an older woman and an elderly man. It was in the reception area for a school that I was hoping my daughter could attend. April had spoken with this woman before, but I had not. The conversation seemed to be going pretty well. I remember taking my shoes and socks off at one point. Although at times my contributions to the conversation felt disjointed, like I had simply memorized a bunch of things to say and would pull them out of my hat anytime there would be a lull. Yet it seemed that the conversation was going pretty well. The woman stood up and met stood near the reception desk and were talking while I tried to put my socks and shoes back on. I got to my right foot and realized that I had put two pairs of socks on. A tight scratchy red pair underneath the comfortable brown striped pair. I must have had an extra pair in my bag and forgotten. Since I was on autopilot I did not question this until I was putting a second sock on my right foot. I heard the elderly man say "well we know that he knows which feet they go on" I don't think he was trying to be mean though, just observant. I decided it would be less embarrassing to simply put my shoes on at this point rather than remove the extra socks. I pull out my cell phone because I think it would be great to show the woman a picture of Helena, since she was not here with me, but just as I am reaching to get it April bursts through the door with a crowd of our friends. Helena as well. It seems like a party. I suppose she must have arranged to have one for Helena here after office hours. Helena comes in wearing a turquoise clown nose. I tell the woman, that I as about to show her a picture but I guess she won't need one, because Here she is. Dan Scott is also there which I am very pleased to see. I think about kissing him on the cheek but he does it first then makes his way through the crowd to the kitchen I try to follow him. I really want to the him that I was thinking the same thing right before he did it. When I catch up to him, I explain this. Then I play it off as a joke by signing a bar from the love song from Superman "Can you read my mind".
