Jungian

If you are dreaming of a clown, you are not acknowledging the truth about your feelings. The clown can be a representation of how you are using humor or lightness to avoid discussing something painful or difficult. The clown can also appear as an aspect of the Trickster, where some side of the psyche is emerging to trap you in your contradictions. Comedians often appear to say the truth of what nobody would dare say. The clown can have a similar role in helping you to become more truthful and honest with yourself. If the clown appears frightening, it can be expressing how humor is masking your fears. You may need a dose of seriousness in approaching the idea of greater fulfillment.
