Nerd – The nerd is a symbol of insecurity. Everyone has a deep-seated fear of being a social outcast and in many ways everyone is the archetypal nerd at heart. Dreaming about the nerd is symbolic of the insufficiencies that you carry with you. However, while you may feel like you are a nerd, it is important to remember that nerds are often the most successful people in the world and that regardless of your insecurities you should follow your favorite pursuits to accomplish your goals.
