What does a massage mean in dreams?
1. The traditional interpretation
Mary Leyen
Dream Expert,
Contributor: "3 of Dreams Book of Dreams"
A dream about receiving a massage signifies a need for relaxation or healing. It can be more nuanced than that though.
It suggests you're carrying stress or emotional burdens and your subconscious is urging you to seek relief. Conversely, if you're giving a massage, it indicates your willingness to help others, or a desire to take on a nurturing role.
It can also reflect your ability to influence or manipulate situations to your advantage. Both scenarios highlight the importance of touch and connection in your life.
A massage is colorful and puzzling dream symbol to pin down for sure. To really say for certain, it would be necessary to really get to know the dreamer's life story and current circumstances.
2. The psychoanalyst's interpretation

Dreaming of receiving a massage, in Freudian terms, may symbolize a yearning for self-care or a release from the superego's constraints, indicating an internal struggle with guilt or anxiety.
Likewise — It's an unconscious plea for alleviation from psychological distress. On the other hand, dreaming of giving a massage could signify a latent desire to provide comfort or exert control, reflecting the id's instinctual drives. It may also suggest a subconscious wish to be perceived as a nurturing figure, a manifestation of the ego's role as mediator. Both scenarios underscore the significance of physical contact as a metaphor for emotional connection or manipulation in the dreamer's psyche.
3. The spiritualist's interpretation

Dreaming about receiving a massage can be a spiritual message about the need for self-care and healing. It's a divine nudge to release the burdens you're carrying and to allow yourself to be nurtured. On the other hand, dreaming of giving a massage can symbolize your spiritual capacity to provide comfort and healing to others. It's a sign of your innate ability to influence and bring about positive change in the lives of those around you. Both scenarios emphasize the spiritual importance of touch and connection, reminding us of our interconnectedness and the healing power of compassion and care.
