Television Dream Meaning

Dreaming Lens: Was the TV on or off? Was it broken? Were you watching TV? Was someone else? Who else was present in the dream? Did you know what show you were watching? Was it on, but in the background? Were you part of the television programming itself?

Personal Focus: The television media has completely shaped modern life. Through it, the entire Western world is united in a common thread of corporately controlled information that we as a culture accept as truth. In the same way that the collective unconscious contains the shared, but hidden, elements of the human mind, the collective consciousness contains the shared knowledge of which people are actually aware.

Television represents this collective thought in action. Through programming, especially the news, there is an almost hypnotic experience that makes the general population accept what is seen on TV as the truth about life, whether or not that is actually so. The line between what is truth and what is fiction is continually blurred and this has increased with the advent of so-called “reality television.”

Whatever the proximity between yourself and the television in your dream should be considered to represent your current relationship to the impact that television and its content is having on your life. Some people never watch TV while others are addicted. Where you fit on this continuum will affect how you view this symbol in a dream. First examine the Dreaming Lens for an accurate, contextual theme of what messages the dream may be offering you. Then filter this perspective through the Universal Landscape of manufactured truth and race mind thoughts. Ask yourself how you might be being manipulated by what other people think as opposed to your own authentic notions about life. It may be time to turn the television off and start living life in real time.

If you dream that you are playing a role in the TV show (or appearing on the TV news), something from your unconscious is about to be revealed. It can also mean you are getting ready to play a new role in your life and go down a new path. Seeing things on a television in dreams may also represent memories or scenes from your past.

To dream of seeing static or “snow” on a TV screen represents your refusal to see the truth in a situation.
