Dreams, dreams, fascinating dreams

In the past several days I've had dreams that prove to have interesting symbolism. I'm in a very rich and memorable dream cycle of late, so thought I'd share a few of these, beginning with last night/this morning:
~ I was in the chorus of a musical, performing on stage. I also seemed to have some artistic skills, as later on in the dream this guy was singing (no longer in the musical) and I had a big piece of dark blue heavy construction paper and some oil pastels and was drawing something that, now that I think about it, looked like an interpretation of the aurora borealis. Huh. There's not an entry for 'performer' at the site for dream imagery I've been consulting, but here's dancing:
~ I was a substitute archer in the Olympics. The archery was very, very odd in that I was holding some kind of balloon thing filled with sand that was in my right hand, the hand I used to pull back the bow before shooting. And it was all representational- I just knew it was the Olympics, not that it really seemed that way. I was an okay shot.
~ I was a cheerleader, doing cheers that, upon awakening, I remembered were from my very brief and very real stint as a cheerleader. The fall of my freshman year at my small, Episcopalian, liberal arts college found me in search of what I hoped to be an easy and relatively painless PE credit. I'd been on the dance team at my high school the year before and hoped for a not-too- mortifying transition. I only lasted a semester, however.
Perhaps this is my subconsciousness' way of recognizing that I'm in a good place right now and that there are many highly positive things going on. When dreaming, I seem to be free of the negative parts of my brain who are both suspicious of the good stuff and don't trust it to last, and also are the 'you're not worthy' parts. Kind of nice to know that when let free of that, I'm confident and setting goals and enjoying being in this good place. Now to integrate that into my waking life. :)

- To dream that you are dancing signifies freedom from any constraints and restrictions. Your life is in balance and in harmony. Dancing also represents frivolity, happiness, gracefulness, sensuality and sexual desires. You need to incorporate these qualities in your waking life.

- To see archery in your dream suggests that you are setting your goals and planning your direction in life. It signifies attainment and fulfillment of your goals.

- To dream that you are a cheerleader signifies your self-confidence and self-esteem. You need to be more active and more positive in some waking situation in your life.
