African – The meaning of your dream about an African depends largely on your own identity and worldview. It may reveal thoughts or prejudices related to race. In first-world countries, Africa often is synonymous with poverty and under-privilege, so the dream may be related to ideas of charity work or an instinct for compassion. Alternatively, if your heritage is from Africa, the dream may have to do with connecting to your roots, embracing your genuine inner self, or acknowledging your instincts.
