A popular interpretation for this dream is that the football represents the dreamer’s goals and ambitions. If the football were being kicked off of a goal post, then it might represent personal success. The dream could also be a metaphor for how the person is playing their life and how they’re using their skills as in playing sports.
If you are dreaming about running with the football into the end zone indicates that you have recently been struggling with something difficult and you want to feel accomplished again.
If you’re playing football but not against anyone you know, which may mean you feel like you’re being ignored or left out of something important in your life.
