Applause
Desire for acclaim or giving oneself acclaim; something that you feel is worthwhile or praiseworthy – define what it is from the dream events; approval or need for approval. Such a need may be covering a deep personal uncertainty.
Useful questions are:
Am I giving or receiving applause – whatever it is can I define what it is for?
What is it my dream is suggesting is praiseworthy and how does that apply to me?
Do I feel the applause is deserved and why or why not?
