Graduation in a dream: meaning

What dream books say

Graduation is traditionally read as completing a stage of life and stepping into the next. It reflects readiness, accomplishment and a little fear of the unknown. Throwing a cap in the air is linked to pride and relief, while being unable to graduate or missing the ceremony points to a feeling that something is unfinished. Graduating in a subject you never studied is read as a change you feel unready for. Seeing your family in the audience is read as wanting recognition from those close to you. It can help to notice which chapter in your life is quietly closing.
