Losing a game
Losing a match, Defeat, Losing the big game
Losing a game in a dream can sting more than you'd expect, even when it's "just a game." These dreams often turn to how you handle setbacks, comparison and pride. Losing as part of a team means shared disappointment and the comfort of not being alone in it. Losing to a friend or a sibling may stir up an old rivalry. If you shrugged it off and laughed, you're more relaxed about results than you realized.
