What does exile mean in dreams?
1. The traditional interpretation

A dream about being in exile can symbolize feelings of isolation, rejection, or being outcast in your waking life. But the meaning of exile can be nuanced depending on the dreamer.
It may reflect a situation where you feel misunderstood or not accepted by your social circle.
Alternatively, dreaming about someone else being exiled can indicate your desire to distance yourself from that person or the qualities they represent. It may also suggest your subconscious is urging you to let go of negative influences. These dreams can serve as a reminder to reconnect with your inner self and evaluate your relationships.
Exile can often be a colorful and puzzling dream symbol to pin down for sure. To say without any doubts, it would be necessary to get a deeper understanding of the dreamer's past and current mindset.
2. The psychoanalyst's interpretation

Dreaming of being in exile may be a representation of the ego's struggle with the id and superego, symbolizing an internal conflict where one aspect of the self is ostracized.
Getting a bit more complex: This could be a manifestation of guilt or self-rejection. Conversely, dreaming of another's exile may reflect the process of projection, where undesirable traits or feelings are attributed to another. This dream may be an unconscious attempt to exile these traits from one's own psyche. Both of these dreams suggest a need for reconciliation within the self, perhaps through introspection or psychoanalytic exploration.0
3. The spiritualist's interpretation

Dreaming of being in exile can be a spiritual message about feeling disconnected from your divine source or purpose. It may be a call to realign with your spiritual path and seek inner peace. Conversely, dreaming of someone else in exile could symbolize your subconscious trying to distance you from negative energies or influences that are hindering your spiritual growth. It may be a divine nudge to cleanse your aura and protect your spiritual wellbeing. The common themes among these dream variations are spiritual signals to reconnect with your inner self and divine purpose, and to maintain a harmonious energy balance.
