Dreams of being second or of playing second fiddle signify competitive feelings and frustration and not being first. This dream may be a message to focus on being the best you that you can be and to stop comparing yourself with your projections of others.
If you dream of seconds flying by, then you are deeply enjoying whom you are with and what you are doing.
If you dream of having seconds, as in a second helping of food, then this denotes a hunger for life and insatiability.
