What does a labyrinth mean in dreams?
1. The traditional interpretation

A dream about being in a labyrinth symbolizes your current state of confusion or seeking direction in life. But let's talk about some subtleties in that general interpretation.
It's a reflection of your subconscious mind trying to navigate through complex issues or decisions.
Alternatively, seeing someone else navigate a labyrinth suggests that you are observing someone's journey or struggle. It could also mean that you feel distanced from the problems at hand, as if watching from the sidelines. Both of these dreams highlight a need for clarity and resolution.
A labyrinth is colorful and puzzling dream concept to to really give you a single answer for. To really say with any kind of confidence, I would need to get more information about the dreamer's life story and current life scenario.
2. The psychoanalyst's interpretation

Dreaming of oneself in a labyrinth may be thought of as a manifestation of the unconscious mind's struggle with the Oedipal complex, the labyrinth symbolizing the intricate and convoluted path of resolving this psychosexual stage.
With that being said, a labyrinth can be more complicated than that. It is a metaphor for the self's journey towards individuation, the process of becoming aware of oneself, reaching a point of self-realization. Conversely, observing another navigate a labyrinth may be a representation of the projection of one's own anxieties and conflicts onto another. This displacement is a defense mechanism, a way to confront these issues indirectly. Both of these dreams underscore the Freudian concept of the unconscious mind wrestling with unresolved issues.
3. The spiritualist's interpretation

Dreaming of being in a labyrinth signifies your soul's quest for spiritual enlightenment. The labyrinth represents life's spiritual journey, filled with twists and turns, symbolizing the challenges and obstacles we face in our spiritual growth. It's a divine message to trust your intuition and inner guidance as you navigate through life's complexities. Conversely, seeing someone else in a labyrinth suggests that you are spiritually connected to their journey. It's a call to provide guidance or support, or perhaps learn from their experiences. Both of these dreams are spiritual reminders that life is a labyrinth, a sacred path to self-discovery and spiritual awakening. It's about finding your way through the maze of life, guided by divine wisdom.
