Carnival
To take part in a carnival in a dream marks unusual pleasure or recreation soon to come — colour, abandon, festivity. The dream tends to touch the season of licensed delight when ordinary rules loosen, and to ask what rare enjoyment is approaching, and whether we will let ourselves fully join the revelry when it arrives.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for carnival, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream that you are participating in a carnival, portends that you are soon to enjoy some unusual pleasure or recreation. A carnival when masks are used, or when incongruous or clownish figures are seen, implies discord in the home; business will be unsatisfactory and love unrequited.
