What does it mean to dream about a celebrity?
Dreaming about a celebrity is rarely about the famous person. Most often they stand in for someone in your life with the same qualities, or for a side of you that shares them. If the celebrity steps into your problem and handles it their way, the dream may be showing an approach your situation is missing.

Famous people turn up in dreams all the time, often doing something ordinary with you. It's rarely about the person themselves. What they're known for, and who or what in your life shares that, usually holds the meaning.
What dreaming about a celebrity may mean
ASomeone in your life who's like them
Dreams often use a famous face as shorthand for someone you know. Describe the celebrity's qualities, then ask who is like that. The first person who comes to mind is usually the one.

BA side of you that shares their qualities
If you admire them and think "a bit like me, but much better", the dream may be showing you a quality of your own, turned up. Dreams exaggerate, and the quality may be more yours than you think.

CAn approach your situation may be missing
Sometimes the celebrity steps into your problem and handles it their way. Someone famous for bluntness telling off your boss may suggest directness is what's missing; someone famous for defending people speaking up for you may point to standing up for yourself.
The celebrity dealt with your problem in the way they're famous for
