Gymnasium Dream Meaning

Your subconscious is trying to tell you that the “gym” in your dream is all about you. The context you see the gymnasium is super important. It could be an old school gym, a gym you visit in waking life. II know that might sound a bit weird. In my view if you have a dream about being in a gymnasium it is much like spiritual conditioning.

It is a massive sign of transformation. Think for a moment, how do athletes train their bodies? You should be training your soul that way too - consistent, disciplined, going beyond the comfortable - are you doing that now or living a life less than it should be? That's what this dream is asking. The gymnasium in dreams means putting in the effort to be what you were created to be. It's not passive. 

Is this dream of a gym good or bad?

Well I think this is a super GOOD dream. Why? Because your soul is telling you you thought about opportunities instead of taking action. This dream means you do the work of transformation. You are not hoping those wounds heal by themselves. It's cleaning them out, doing the painful work - because things covered don't heal well - but you're just hanging around that gym lost watching people work out on a machine you don't know how to use? I also think that this is a mirror that shows you where you are right now. But how you use that truth depends entirely on you.

What does it mean to see a treadmill?

Maybe in your dream you run but go nowhere. Maybe the electronic display is working but moving fast? Maybe you are listening to your iphone when your working out? This is about where you are suppose to be in life. Do daily habits that do nothing for you strengthen or propel you forward? The treadmill is autopilot - motion without progress, it means a new challenge. Running involves gaining strength through resistance. Each pound you run in a dream is a burden you have to learn to carry in real life.

What does it mean to dream of working out in a dream?

If you're in that dream gym working out, sweating and lifting too heavy weights - great. That means you are doing the work of transformation. But if you're just hanging around that gym watching people work out on a machine you don't know how to use? That's your soul saying you were thinking about possibilities instead of taking action. So how you think about your opportunities determines how you act on them. But if you are standing there thinking you're going to fail the leg press, well guess what? You will. The gym dream works when it pushes you forward. Bad when it shows you all the ways you keep putting your foot down and waiting for that perfect moment that never comes. We tend to cover our wounds - metaphorically at least. We do not want people to see our pains and we keep them hidden behind false smiles. In fact we keep them to ourselves. But that gym? That's where you can not hide. Weights do not lie. Mirrors do not lie, your exhaustion does not lie.

What the gym equipment means in your dream?

If you are using weights it is not there to crush you - it makes you stronger. It is amazing what things look great outside but are dysfunctional inside. Those weights make you do work - not just look good. They want real strength not just appearances. And the best part: It's free. You get stronger every time you pick up something heavy in real life - a conversation, a scary decision - a responsibility you are not ready for. It is the resistance that is the point.

Exercise bikes: Like the treadmill - except you don't even pretend to go anywhere. You pedal around in circles. You get too comfortable and this is what happens when you get too comfortable. When life is too comfortable we just can not change how we do things. You are riding that bike in your comfort zone - get off it. Big ideas are coming from people who go against the grain and think outside the box and create what they see inside instead of settling for what is given. That's not possible while you pedal in place. You just can't.

Seeing mirrors in the gym: Every gym has them and in dreams they make you look at yourself honestly. Not the Instagram filter version. The real you. Work as good as you look! Because you would be surprised at what looks great outside but is rotten inside. I once knew a functional alcoholic. But no one would ever guess that he was having problems and functioning on a daily basis without people knowing his addiction. Until it got the best of him. Those gym mirrors do not let you hide that way. They tell you what is real and what is performance.

Yoga mats: In my view this means: balance, flexibility. The work no one sees. This is all about the inside work - meditation, prayer - that stuff that doesn't get likes or applause but changes you from the inside out. If you stop obsessing about winning the prize or looking successful and start following your passions you will find the fulfillment of living by instinct. It all happens on your yoga mat. It is where you stop performing and start being.

What does it dream like to have a personal trainer in your dreams?

A personal trainer in your dream is God guiding you in your life. This is God - your higher self - or whatever - coaching you through life. If you have a dream trainer, God will not leave your wants and needs unattended when you want to be more like Him. That trainer is here because you asked for help - consciously or not. You want to become stronger, much better, more connected with your purpose. And the universe is saying' OK, here is your coach. Do the work now.

If the trainer is pushing you too hard and making you uncomfortable, yell at you to do one more rep - good. So you need that. We don't grow comfortable. We grow when somebody believes in us enough to push us beyond what we believe we can deal with. The trainer is that tough guy who will not let you quit. The part of you that knows you can do more. That divine intervention that comes just when you think you might give up and says "Not today." One more set. You've got this."

Listen to what the trainer says in your dream. Those are messages your soul needs to hear - they are not random words. Maybe it should be "push harder" if you've coasted. Maybe it's "rest" when you've been running into the ground. Maybe it's "you are stronger than you think" when you have been doubting yourself to paralysis.

What does it mean to dream of becoming a bodybuilder?

Now, there's nothing wrong with wishing to build yourself up. People who question the norm, think outside the box and invent the world they see inside instead of conforming to it are the ones that come up with big ideas. With their bodies - bodybuilders see what they want to be and muscle by muscle they build it up.

That kind of dream is almost godlike. You're not accepting what body genetics gave you. You're not content with "good enough." You sculpt yourself into something more. That takes a discipline most people can not even fathom. Early mornings. Strict diets. Saying no to stuff that isn't helpful. You get real spiritual power with that kind of dedication.

But here's the warning: When you stop chasing the prize or appearing successful and start following your passions you will find the fulfillment that comes from living by instinct. If your body builder dream is about showing off, about being successful so that people will think you're nuts, you're not following the point.

Now we are actually obsessed with developing a persona for ourselves, with social media in particular. Everyone suddenly wants to look happy and successful no matter if they aren't. Appearing successful and happy is not the same thing. True fulfillment comes from a life lived with purpose and passion. So ask yourself: You are building your body for yourself or the applause in that dream? Is it because transformation excites you or do you need validation? Are you after strength or just the look of it?

Progress without purpose leads to arrogance. You could have the biggest muscles on the planet - but if you use them to intimidate people or feed your ego or even make people feel small so you are able to be large - that is not strength. That is insecurity in a muscle suit.

When the bodybuilder dream is about being an architect of your own transformation, then this is a powerful dream. That means refusing to accept limitations. It is about saying "I do not care if this will take years, I am going to build something extraordinary" And that mindset - applied to your character, relationships & spiritual life - can change everything. But what if it is all about flexing in the mirror? Suppose it's about worshipping instead of being useful? So you build a monument to yourself instead of something for the world. And monuments crumble. Always.

How do you dream of being fit?

This is simple and beautiful: you are imagining alignment. You are seeing yourself as an embodiment of yourself where body, mind and spirit pull in the same direction. If your main aim in life would be becoming like God, then you are in the right track. Being fit in a dream means your heart is in the right place. You want to be a person of love, happiness, kindness and understanding. And if that's your goal? He will cater to your wishes.

The six-pack is not what makes you fit. It's all about working as well as you look. It is about integrity inside and outside. Rather it is about not being the functional alcoholic who has it together on the surface but is a mess underneath.

Never assume someone has it together, they are probably fighting way more battles than you can fathom. For yourself, work on the inside as well as the outside if you wish to have a good and happy life.

Your soul is telling you alignment is possible in your fitness dream. You don't have to be one person at work and one person at home. It means you don't have to smile through pain, hide your problems or pretend everything's okay when it isn't. Fitness - true fitness - is when you show the world what's inside of you.

What does it mean to dream of an abandoned gym?

An abandoned gym has potential. All the equipment you need is collecting dust. This is the part of you who wanted to grow, to change, to work hard - but you simply quit showing up.

Maybe you got discouraged. Perhaps you convinced yourself it was too difficult, too late, too much. So perhaps you're just settling - for any job, any marriage, any life that is mediocre. Worst thing a person can do is settle in life. Many people settle for any job, any marriage, any life that is mediocre. God has given us so much and believes so much in us that settling is like a fist bump in the head. You throw a gift back at somebody. That abandoned gym is asking you: Are you doing that right now or are you living a life that isn't meant to be? The good news? The gym is still there. The equipment works still. You can walk back in anytime. Just decide to stop covering your wounds and start healing them. Things that are covered do not heal. You know that. Your mother knew that. God knows it.

What does it mean to dream of a school gym?

School gyms provide foundational training. This is where you got your start, where you found out what your body can do, where you were last picked for dodgeball and that scarred you for life - or where you were captain and it hit your head. A dream of a school gym takes you back to basics. You have overcomplicated things. You're trying advanced techniques you've never learned. Prayer. Gratitude. Showing up. Being honest. People with compassion treated me.

Summary of dream meaning

This is about LIFE. It's not about waiting for money to appear in your lap. It is getting up and saying,' This is gonna be a good day'. My future is bright. And then saying "Something good is coming my way" - and then doing the reps.The gym in your dream is God's way of telling you progress without meaning is arrogance. And of course, you could bench press your way to a perfect body, but in case you are doing it to look great on Instagram anyway, what's the point? True spiritual fitness means developing strength to serve something bigger than yourself. If you're working out, sweating, and putting on those too-heavy weights in that dream gym - that's fine.
