Soccer

Football (soccer), American football, Playing soccer

Soccer, called football in most of the world, is the planet's favorite game, and a dream about it, or about American football, often pulls you into the noise and color of a team effort. Passing the ball well shows you're doing your part without needing to be the star. A game that goes on and on with no score may mirror a stalemate in real life, where both sides work hard and nothing moves. A referee's whistle raises questions of rules and fairness. Kicking a ball around a park with friends, jackets for goalposts, brings back easy childhood fun.

Dream variations

• Being the goalkeeperYou feel you're the last line of defense for your group. Stay alert, and let the players in front of you do their part.
• Getting a red cardYou stepped over a line and were called on it. Accept it, cool off and come back with a clear head.
