Surprise party

Surprise birthday party, Surprise celebration

Lights snap on, everyone shouts at once, and you're the center of attention before you've taken off your coat. A surprise party dream is about being celebrated, and about how comfortable you are with that. Feeling delighted suggests you'd welcome more open appreciation from the people around you. Feeling awkward or ambushed can show you prefer to control how and when you're seen. Organizing one behind someone's back puts you in charge of other people's timing, a test of how well your group works together.
