Many people have dreams about being interviewed; in fact job, career and school-related interview dreams are among the most common – even more so if you happen to be expecting to be interviewed in waking life in the near future. If you are expecting to be interviewed in the near future then your dreams may well simply reflect your natural fears and anxieties connected with that. On the other hand, if you’re not going to be interviewed soon in waking life, these types of dreams can be a way to analyze your daily thoughts and actions in fine detail, and they may reflect uncertainty regarding your current path through life and the choices you have made.
Because interviews in waking life can literally change your future they are seen as being very important by your subconscious mind, which is why we often become nervous about interviews, and it is therefore used to signify a message of some importance in your dreams – i.e. the underlying details being scrutinized are potentially life changing.
If, for instance, your dream is about a job interview where you fail to acquire the post, it could reflect your own doubts about the way you are coping with your current life choices. If, however, you are late for your interview, or miss it altogether, it could reflect a feeling of life’s opportunities passing you by – perhaps even a warning that you must act more quickly to avoid disappointment.
If you are enjoying being interviewed in your dream it might be suggesting that you are a good communicator and that, perhaps, this is an avenue you might like to investigate in waking life.
If you are the one conducting the interview it’s important to analyze the person you were interviewing and what they mean to you, noting that other people in dreams often represent other aspects of yourself depending on what they mean to you in waking life. You should also think carefully about what information you were trying to glean from the person you were interviewing.
