Disappointment

Disappointed, Feeling let down, Letdown

Disappointment marks the moment a picture in your head meets what really happened. The dream often shows exactly what you had hoped for, which is useful to know. Feeling let down by someone suggests your expectations of them may need to be said out loud. Disappointing others is a different kind of weight; it can come with worry about falling short of a role you've taken on. If the feeling faded quickly in the dream, you're adjusting faster than you think.
