The way I understand it is that you dream you are a superhero to help compensate for your busy and hectic life in the real world. So your mind makes you able to overcome those hardships in the dream world in this case by being a supoerhero

Hi there
The purpose of dreams, as far as we understand them, is to process the vast amount of information that comes in through your senses each day whilst you're awake.
On this basis the "meaning" of your dreams is simply that you are making sense of information which previously didn't have a "meaning", for you, because it hadn't been processed so as to fit into your mental maps of the world (all your existing beliefs, ideas, values, etc.).
Given what seems to be going on, it's not really surprising that lots of things appear in your dreams that have nothing to do with what has been happening in your life just before the dream occurs. Things can appear in your dreams that have been part of your memories as far back as you started forming memories - or anytime in between then and now.
Nor do the things in your dreams have to be obviously related to each other. Like I said, dreaming is a process of finding/making meaning, and the brain can draw from anywhere in its huge store of memories in order to carry out that process.
So when, if ever, you happen to notice yourself having what seems like a weird dream in future you can literally rest assured that everything is OK. Your brain is actually doing, with great skill, one of the jobs it was designed to do.

Dreaming that you are a large, important figure shows that you are a person of high talent and with above-average qualities you might not know you possess. Maybe being able to make it through these tough times and rising above the situation is also triggering you to dream these dreams, and maybe you yearn to feel better about yourself and higher self-esteem.

In real life you got severe problems but in the dream you are a hero a Strong Man.
A compensation and your wish how you want it.

I think this indicates that you have the courage to face up to your problems and deal with them. I would pay attention to other dreams you have over the next several weeks, as they may contain some solutions to the problems at hand. Good luck!

it's a wishfull dream that you were a super hero at work and home and also it's a stress reliever. when you sleep your brain is trying to alleviate the stress by making you see dreams you enjoy.

your subconscious could be responding to the stress... but I'd take dreaming myself as a superhero as a good sign - it suggests confidence that you can "save the day" and overcome your challenges! good luck with that - can you break the problems down into "do-able" tasks?

Superhero
To dream that you are a superhero, indicates your above-average talents, ideas, and abilities you may not realized you possessed.
