 Definition: Dreaming that your real life is depicted in a cartoon world means that you are perceiving the world in a comical and unserious manner. This dream may also serve as an escape from the stressful realities of your life. It is your way of obtaining moments of lightheartedness and fun. Additionally, you may need to learn to laugh at yourself and at your mistakes. Dreaming that you are watching cartoons indicates that you are not taking life seriously.
