Confusion

Confused, Feeling confused, Disoriented

Many dreams are a little confusing, with rooms that change, people who switch faces and instructions that make no sense. When the confused feeling itself stands out, it often reflects a situation in waking life where you're getting mixed messages or have too many choices. You may be in the middle of a change and not yet sure which way is up. Don't take it as a bad sign; it's a signal to pause and gather information before deciding. Notice who or what confused you most, because that's usually where the mixed signals come from.
