Dream Symbol Dictionary Definition for: academic.

Dreaming that someone is a teacher when they are not in real life can mean that, to you, they represent:

• An authority figure—someone or something in your real life who you allow to have some power over you in some way
• Someone whose opinions or advice you listen to
• Someone who has taught you something in real life, or whom you would like to do so

Dreaming that you are a teacher when you're not in real life could mean:

• You feel your insight would be valuable to others
• There is something specific you'd like to teach or explain a certain person or group
• You desire to feel respected or looked up to
• You're wondering what it would be like to be a teacher (and so you're trying it out in the dream state)
