Courage
Action taken in the presence of fear — moving forward while the body is asking to stop.
Courage in a dream is the dream's image of action taken in the presence of fear, not its absence. Courage is not fearlessness; the brave person is afraid and is moving anyway. The dream brings courage when something in your life — a confrontation, a public statement, a first step — is being asked of you while your body is telling you to stop. Courage exercised at the right size is the dream telling you the move was honest and appropriate. Courage that has tipped into bravado, doing more than the situation called for, is the dream noting that the action stopped being about the actual task and became a display.
