What Does It Mean to Dream About Parade?

To dream of a parade represents boasting, or showing off. A sense of vindication or pride. Noticing everyone else noticing something about you.

Negatively, a parade may indicate a "sore winner" mentality, being pompous, or puffed up with vanity. It may also reflect your irritation or jealousy with someone else that is showing off.

Positively, dreaming of a parade may reflect a wish to show off to all your friends and family that a problem wasn't a big deal and that you are doing great now.

To dream of the color red on parade floats, wagons, or parade clothing may represent bad intentions while showing off. Being mean, rubbing it in, or lying to make someone hurt more.

Example: A woman dreamed that she was getting ready for a parade. In waking life she had just recovered from a mastectomy and was getting ready to confidently "parade" her health and survival to all her friends and family while they all showered her with love celebrating her return home.

Example 2: A woman dreamed of being relieved that a parade was over. In waking life she was getting older and relieved that her sexual attractive youth was over because she didn't like having sex and getting pregnant.

Watching a parade in your dream represents something or someone being a distraction in your life.Whatever it is, it is causing you to stray from your aspirations in life. You can even be the distraction because you are afraid that you would not be successful in your endeavors. On the other hand, the characters or people in the parade may have significance to you; try to relate them to your life. If you are part of the parade then your dream suggests that you are lost and just going with the flow of what everyone around you is doing.
