If you were making a speech in your dream, what you are saying may have bearing on what is currently happening in your life.
If you spoke angrily or wearily, this may show how you are feeling about something or someone.
If you are nervous before your speech, there is something you need to say or some information you need to impart but feel apprehensive about doing so. Pay attention also to the way in which your speech was received.
If you were cheered and clapped, you feel confident and upbeat, but if you were booed and jeered, you feel uncertain and lacking in confidence.
If close friends or family were in the audience applauding, you are feeling supported or appreciated by them.
If you listen to a speech by someone else, were they saying anything that might be relevant to you in waking life? If the speaker was famous, this might be wish-fulfillment but also might reflect concern with an issue or feeling that they represent to you.

[2]Making a speech has two perspectives, because on the one hand it has a universal meaning that connects to the projecting of a single focused thought in an effort to create mental agreement.
The person making the speech is a part of your consciousness that has the main idea. Those listening represent other thought patterns that are being exposed to the singular idea. What are you trying to convince yourself of? On the other hand, since many people have strong feelings about public speaking, a dream about a speech could indicate that you are preparing to face something in a public way that frightens you.
[3]If you dream of giving a speech, then this reflects your public self/persona expressing what you are passionate about. You are identifying your personal message to the world or you are working out your fears of public speaking. This dream may be a message for you to prepare for success, and to bring images of yourself as confident, eloquent and prepared into your dreamtime. Also, dreams of a lecture can represent a one sided point of view, opinions, and passionate feelings about a particular topic.
