Seeing yourself awake in your dreams has two major meanings. On the one hand, the dream may be interpreted as a warning that you should open your eyes and start being more aware of what happens in the waking life. This implies knowing how to deal with responsibilities and difficult problems which may arise on the path of life. On the other hand, seeing yourself awakening in your dreams may represent a re-birth, setting up new ideals and goals and feeling able at the same time to use your full potential to attain them. Moreover, this dream image may mirror a revelation in your waking life, seeing things in a whole new light.

If you awake someone else in your dream this may mean that you will help a dear person in your waking life to manage some difficult problems or overcome obstacles. This may also mean that there is someone in your waking life who you identify yourself with or with whom you share many traits of character.

Awakening as dream image may also be linked to the revival of old feelings, emotions, thoughts that have latently laid within yourself up to the moment.
