Keep your seat belt secure as I am about to focus on what acceptance means in your dream. Think about how you are perceived in the waking world. Dreaming of being accepted in a group of people is a positive omen. It indicates that your social status will increase. There are different levels of acceptance the can occur in the dream state. This could be that you pass an interview, an exam is passed or acceptance into a group of people. Generally, this dream occurs when we feel a sense of insecurity.

In life sometimes we are accepted by people such as jobs, companies or even groups of people, therefore, when this dream occurs it is a positive omen, especially for social status. It may be that you felt acceptance in the community (in waking life) and then for whatever reason but acceptance was taken away. This dream often occurs when one has struggled with acceptance in life. Being excluded is a difficult situation to encounter. Therefore, if for example you are excluded from a group or a relationship with the person waking life and dream of being accepted into that group this can indicate your subconscious mind trying to soothe you from the pain caused.

If you dream that you pass a job interview and you accept the job offer this as a positive omen which will foretell new financial gain and a positive career move going forward.

Acceptance can happen in dreams in very different contexts and it's important for us to paint this dream as being a positive omen. In any situation where the dream is negative in nature, it can be associated with the need to live up to expectations in life. Perhaps you have set too high expectations on yourself and the acceptance in this instance is connected to giving yourself a break. When we are accepted in a dream it indicates that other people approve of us. From a psychological point of view, this is positive. If you have been feeling depressed in waking life the dream of "acceptance" often occurs.

This indicates that your subconscious mind is trying to connect and tell you that you should be grateful.

This dream fosters the feeling of contentment. If you encounter social acceptance in any form during the dream state this is associated with a positive state of mind. In essence, this dream is connected to how we demonstrate ourselves to others. Being accepted during the dream (whatever the situation) is positive. To receive an item from somebody or a gift - and to accept this gift in the dream expresses our desire to be liked and wanted. Again, this is a positive dream.
