Dreaming of the bogeyman means you have done something bad that cannot be brought into the light. Your guilty conscience will overwhelm you with the terror of being caught, and perhaps punished with a confrontation of the bogeyman.
If you are still a young child, seeing the bogeyman in your dreams means that you should stop being lazy or naughty.
Also, if an individual dreams about the bogeyman and feels scared or anxious in the dream, it may symbolize that they are dealing with fears or anxieties related to a specific situation or person in their waking life. If they dream about the bogeyman and feel brave or confident in the dream, it may symbolize that they are able to confront and overcome their fears and anxieties in their waking life.
