Crowds often appear in dreams dominated by feelings of inferiority, loneliness or guilt; it is common to dream of being naked in a crowd.
We can also feel crushed in a crowd, which would indicate that we feel incapable of controlling our lives.
Much the same sense is conveyed by those dreams in which we find ourselves being swept along by a crowd.
Crowds in general represent blind power, and thus symbolize the forces of the unconscious in dreams.
A dream of a crowd can symbolize a desire to be like everyone else. If you dream that you are in a crowd, you do no wish to stand out. You could be feeling self-conscious about being different from others some way in waking life.
You may dream of a crowd when you want to avoid making a decision or when you are unsure of which path you want to take in life. Being part of a crowd in a dream can mean that you want to be able to just follow along and do what everyone else is doing without having to take responsibility for your own choices.
When you are part of a crowd, you lose your identity, so a dream that you are in a crowd can be a sign that you want to remain hidden. You do not want others to see your true self.
If you feel uncomfortable while you are in a crowd in a dream, you could be afraid that you are losing your identity or that you are unable to express yourself fully.
Dreaming that you are frightened or uncomfortable in a crowd can mean that you are feeling pressure to do something against your will.
