Spiritual Meaning:
Any competition suggests a struggle between two polarities, though in the spiritual sense it is actually a joint effort to overcome a challenge.

Psychological / Emotional Perspective:
To be competing in a dream is to perhaps look for a better performance from ourselves than we have managed hitherto.

Everyday Material Aspects:
As today’s world is highly competitive our dreams may highlight competitiveness in ways that we do not consciously recognize. Dreaming of running a race might highlight such competition in the workplace.

Gender / Specific Meanings:
Competition in both men’s and women’s dreams will highlight their area of competitiveness. A woman for instance might find herself competing against another woman for recognition, whereas a man may simply find himself in competition with all and sundry.
