What it means to dream of crazy

When a madman appears in dreams, he represents some part of the dreamer's psyche that lacks approval to exist, either a social approval or that of the dreamer himself.

It may also be the direct expression of a feeling of confusion or incomprehension about any real or intimate fact in your life.

Depending on the feelings and situations in the dream, we can arrive at more precise interpretations. If you felt a lot of fear, for example, and if this feeling made you wake up, possibly it was just an expression of the fear of madness or going crazy.

In any case, the dream points to sensitive issues that deserve to be observed and analyzed carefully. Below, you will find common details in such dreams and some tips on how to understand them.

To dream of crazy people of different ages

The fact that the crazy person in your dream is a younger or older person brings different meanings to your interpretation. See below how it looks in each case.

To dream of a crazy old man

If you dreamed of an elderly madman, you are facing doubts about values and principles that you have always believed in. There is not necessarily in you a desire to be different: the doubt may have appeared for various reasons, including none, but the fact is that it is there.

It may vary in intensity and complexity, or be causing more or less consequences in your life, but it exists. When you dream of an elderly crazy person, do an honest self-evaluation and try to identify the need to deepen or not the analysis of these doubts.

There shouldn't be too many risks in this process, but if you start to sink too deep into insecurities, look for support from other people you trust.

To dream of a young madman

To dream of a young madman represents some very strong impulse, feeling or desire of yours, but for some reason is not in accordance with what you consider acceptable.

If this has not yet begun to manifest itself in reality, take the opportunity to resolve the case before it causes problems, but it is possible that it has already triggered some unforeseen consequence.

Try to relax and observe the feelings and situations involved in the dream to identify what content of yours it is referring to. Then, evaluate if it is really something unacceptable or if it could exist in reality without major problems. Be honest in this process and try to open yourself to different ways of looking at things.

To dream that you are interacting with a madman

The ways in which you interact with a madman in a dream, as well as the feelings and environments involved contain many clues to what that dream is trying to tell you, as you can see below.

To dream that you are talking to a madman

The message brought by dreaming that you talk to a madman refers to some aspect of your personality that at first is not very welcome or understood, but which can not only be accepted and included in your life but also has much to teach or offer you.

Make sure you haven't closed yourself off to any changes out of sheer stubbornness, pride, or inattention. If you're facing any problems at work or in relationships, consider even the most insane alternatives to solving them: chances are, the answer you're looking for will come from there.

To dream that a madman stalks you

A dream in which a madman pursues you expresses a feeling of confusion and fear in the face of what is unfamiliar and unfamiliar to you. To dream that a madman pursues you harks back to a desire or impulse that you understand to be "wrong," but which nevertheless is part of you and has been fought for some time by your morality.

Try to identify that urge or desire and face it in a natural way and, if possible, without any judgment, before it becomes bigger than all your chances of controlling it. Accepting and acknowledging our desires is the very definition of health, and it is also very different from feeling comfortable putting them all into practice.

To dream that you are caring for a madman

To dream that you take care of a madman indicates a moment of introspection in your life, a necessary time for you to fully understand and assimilate some more complex content.

There is some principle of disagreement between your desires or feelings, and you are naturally withdrawing into yourself to examine the case with all necessary attention.

Drink plenty of water and try reflecting on everything where you have the silence and stillness to assume the most deeply contemplative posture. Other than that, trust that time is doing its work.

Other meanings to dream of crazy

From the situations and people involved, it is possible to find very different meanings in a dream about a madman. Discover just below the specific meaning for each variation of such a dream.

To dream that a crazy person gets hurt

A madman who hurts himself in a dream represents some aspect of your unconscious for which you harbor feelings of attachment, although this is not very well accepted in the circles in which you live.

To dream that you are crazy and hurt yourself, also represents the discovery that an idea, project or characteristic of yours that you considered unquestionable has in fact many flaws. In this sense, it is only the expression of feelings of frustration which may be more or less conscious for you.

This is a time to look carefully at your inner world and find ways to resolve within yourself this impasse between feelings and reality.

To Dream That You Are Going Mad

To dream that you are going crazy is the most direct and pure expression of your confusion or difficulty understanding something in your experience. This can refer to both concrete situations and to understanding and accepting your own feelings or other more intimate issues.

In many cases, it may be nothing more than the manifestation of a very common and natural fear of actually going crazy. Take a deep breath, look for ways to ease the effects of anxiety and pinpoint the source of your confusion or fear.

Keep in mind that what is considered "crazy" to some will not always be seen that way by everyone, so relax.

To dream that a madman is cured

A dream in which a madman heals himself is an unconscious attempt to demonstrate to yourself that you are exaggerating - and a lot - in the way you see or deal with something. When you dream that a madman heals himself, observe all the situations and characters that appear.

This will give you hints to figure out in which area of your life you are acting overly. If you find that the dream is part of a more general feeling of stress, find ways to relieve the tension and control the anxiety.

Everyone has different ways of accomplishing this effectively, but in general meditation exercises and physical exercise are powerful antidotes to feelings of the sort.

To dream of a crazy family member

To have a crazy relative in a dream suggests conflicts in your relationship with that person and perhaps with the entire part of the family to which they belong. Depending on the feelings experienced in the dream, you get an idea of how disagreements are being perceived and what they may be causing to your emotional.

Conflicts and family disagreements are natural to the human experience and do not necessarily cause concrete and unpleasant consequences.

To dream of a crazy family member asks you to remain calm and first resolve any possible disagreements within yourself. In the latter case, talk to your relative or even several relatives to clarify what is true in your conflicting feelings.

To dream that you see a madman

If you dream that you see a madman, your unconscious is pointing to some situation or feeling of yours that has the potential to generate conflict, but over which you still have some kind of control. The feeling you experience when you see the madman reveals how much and how that situation or feeling is affecting your life.

To the extent that you have only seen this nut, without getting involved or experiencing any feeling, you may simply be making mention of past misunderstandings or conflicts for which you have already found a satisfactory outcome.

Let the emotions run through you and then allow them to go away. Situations that have been resolved or do not pose real threats can still arouse uncomfortable emotions, but they pass and after that there is nothing left.

To dream of many crazy people

A dream with many madmen may be an expression of anguish and complete confusion about one or several situations in your life, probably more than one. It represents some difficulty in determining what are the values and principles according to which you act.

To dream of many crazy people also points to a difficulty in identifying people who are "reliable" or really compatible with you. It may point to a diversity of interests, most often contradictory and including some simply impossible.

Just try to relax and get away from situations that cause you uneasiness or confused feelings. Try to express what you think and feel, either through artistic means or a conversation with someone who is able to listen and whom you really trust.

Can dreaming of crazy be a warning of something wrong?

To dream of a madman points to sensitive areas of your unconscious or real situations, not necessarily because something there is wrong, but because something in them is not being perceived or experienced with tranquility.

It represents above all a conflict of principles which may either be happening exclusively within you or in some aspect of your relationship with others and with reality.

Try to do the most careful and honest self-assessment you can, identifying what is and what is not under your control. Try meditation techniques and other ways of bringing your full attention to the body and to the present moment.

And try to make peace with the word "crazy": in general, it serves more to stigmatize and discriminate those who are different than to talk about real problems or real threats to your mental health.
