Athlete
Athletes, Sports star, Professional athlete
An athlete's body is the result of thousands of quiet hours nobody sees, which is why an athlete in a dream often has a lot to say about commitment and what you're training yourself toward. Being one yourself usually means you feel strong, quick and capable, willing to push past what you thought were your limits. Cheering a famous sports star from the stands may show how much you enjoy being part of a crowd that wants the same thing. An athlete sitting on the bench, or retiring, raises a different thought: careers and phases have seasons, and stepping off the field can make room for a new kind of game.
