Tattoo
Tattoos may represent those things in our lives that seem only "skin deep" but may be interesting and fun. They could represent our thinking, our playful ways, and our seemingly unimportant habits. As time progresses, we may realize that our passing fads have become permanent. Thus, a tattoo may be symbolic of something that we inflict on ourselves, is permanent if not deep, and generally carries with it some negativity.
Mystical Meaning - Your dream may be of a sexual nature. "Tattoo" is a Maori word, and until recently tattooing was accepted in most parts of Polynesia as the ultimate beauty treatment. Many Polynesians had every part of the body done, except the eyes. In many cultures, it is seen as a symbol of sexuality and virility. The inhabitants of the Marquesas consider a tattooed tongue supremely erotic.

Teacher
The meaning of this dream depends on your own experiences with teachers or teaching and, of course, the circumstances in your dream. The dream could be addressing your issues with authority and approval. Also, you may have a need for guidance and new learning.

Teeth
Dreaming about teeth is very common in all cultures and age groups. Most dreams about teeth leave people feeling uneasy and anxious. Consider the overall content and context of the dream and note if you are having dental problems before making interpretation. Teeth usually symbolize power and/or control. Animals use their teeth for defense and nourishment and show their teeth when angry. Humans often display similar behaviors. Look and see if you are losing or abusing power and control in any area of your life (especially if you are losing teeth in your dream). Old dream interpretations say that dreaming about teeth is a bad omen that suggest financial difficulties.
Mystical Meaning - The Nilotes of the Sudan believe that if a woman has a toothy grin it is a bad omen. It symbolizes the mouth of a wile animal, whish will frighten the cattle. Superstitious lore insists that maidens with a wide smile be made beautiful by having their front teeth removed. An African witch doctor would therefore interpret dreams about losing teeth as a sign of prosperity.

Telephone
In our dreams the telephone could be a symbol with which we are expressing a desire to communicate with ourselves and with others. Our unconscious and/or intuition may be trying give us messages that we have been unwilling to listen to. If you don't want to answer the ring, ask yourself why?

Television
A television may represent your mind with its flow of thoughts. You are objectively viewing yourself. What is it that moves across this screen of your consciousness? If your head filled with interesting information or just a lot of mindless soap operas? The programs you dream of watching are an intimate yet objective representation of the things that play on your mind.
Mystical Meaning - Modern dream superstition say that if you enjoy dreaming about watching television you will achieve success, but if you are upset by what you see, you will be led astray by others.

Theater
Theaters may be a metaphor for our physical lives. To paraphrase Shakespeare, life is a stage and we are merely trying to make the best of it. Maybe in your dreams you are acting out some of your personal issues and concerns. Think about the details of your dream and what is going on in the theater. Is it a comedy or a tragedy? Are you having fun, or are you very uncomfortable or bored? All of these will give you clues in regard to the meaning of based theater dreams.
Mystical Meaning - Sages who have reached an exulted level of consciousness often point out that life is like a theater. You play a part for a short time in a cosmic game. A curious supersition claims that if you dream you cut new teeth, it is a sign you will hear of the birth of a child who will do great things in the theater.

Thunder
Thunder may represent your feeling of anger. You may have had or be planning an argument. Your relationships may be stormy.
Mystical Meaning - The Ancient Greeks believed that storms were caused when Zeus quarreled with his consort, Hera. In the Sumerian mythology that may date from Neolithic times, the storm was associated with the roar of the bull and fertility rites. Your dream may represent the untamed and hugely powerful forces within the psyche.

Tidal Wave
Tidal waves or tsunamis suggest that you may be in a period of emotional upheaval. Anxiety, stress, and unconscious materials may be coming to the surface and affecting your daily moods. Giant tidal waves from your dream may be symbolic of current emotional unhappiness and psychological stress that may be threatening to destroy or uproot you. The outcome of this dream could reveal to you how much strength you have to "ride out" this storm. If you are not consumed, or you survived the tidal waves of your dream, be assured that you will survive the challenges of life and living.

Tiger
This large and very beautiful cat can symbolize femininity, power, anger, unforgiving vengeance, great force, and cunning. Tigers cannot be ignored, and usually they get exactly what they go after. Consider all of these characteristics and try to see if they apply to your or anyone else's current mood or character.
Mystical Meaning - In the children's poem Tyger Tyger by the mystical poet William Blake, the tiger represents material existence. His "fearfule symmetry" is the suffering that people experience in the world of opposites, as opposed to innocent oneness with God. Humanity's destiny is to regain innocence by passing through the world of experience. Your dream may be dealing with these perplexing cosmic issues.

Tomb
A tomb may be the entrance to the unconscious. It may also represent those parts of yourself that have been buried away. You may have qualities and talents you are not using. If you dream of seeing your own name above the entrance to the tomb, this is not an omen of death. The dream is saying that what lies within the tomb are the aspects of yourself that have died. You need to rediscover yourself.
Mystical Meaning - Your dream may symbolize spiritual death and rebirth. In Celtic times, burial mound tombs were considered to be thw womb of the Earth Mother, from which the new spiritual person was born. Later superstitions calim that to dream of a tomb foretells disappointment. Another curious superstition says it fortells a marriage.

Tongue
A tongue is used for communicating, nourishing the body, and giving or receiving physical pleasure. After considering the details of your dream, see into what category your dream message may fall. Are you afraid of gossip or a "harsh" tongue, or do you have other concerns in regard to this body part? The extended tongue can be a symbol of mockery, lustfulness, exhaustion, or thirst. Consider your current needs and see if any of them are being addressed in this dream.
Mystical Meaning - If you dream of your own tongue, you will tell lies. If you see another person's tongue, they will lie about you. An infected tongue means careless talk.

Tornado

Tornadoes could also represent disruptions and upsets in you immediate environment and specific or current issues that may be overwhelming.

Toy
In part, children use toys to develop their social skills and express their role within the family. Dreaming of playing with toys may therefore be an innocuous way to express your hidden feelings. Consider what each to represents as part of you or your life. Your dream may also be saying that you are only playing with life and must get down to something realistic and practical. The dream could be a pun for toying with ideas or people's feelings.
Mystical Meaning - Generally a fortunate omen that predicts happiness for children and families.

Train
This dream symbol can be very complicated and its meaning is specific to the dreamer (as all dream symbols are). If you normally take the train to work and it is a part of your daily experience, closer attention should be paid to the other details of the dream. Going on a train ride may be symbolic of your life's journey. If you are the engineer, you may be reassuring yourself in the dream state that you are in control of a specific situation or life in general. The train could also be symbolic of your need to move on and to do things in an orderly and sequential manner. Freud said that the train is usually a phallic symbol and that a train going through a tunnel represents intercourse. Freud also said that there are other possibilities to this symbol. For example if you missed the train in your dream, you may be fearful of missing important opportunities. Jung thought that the train ride represented the way a person moves and behaves just like everyone else and that you the dreamer may be striving for wholeness.

Difficult traveling conditions such as a dark road, a bad storm, or an accident in a car, or other vehicle may be symbolic of the difficulties that we experience in our daily journey through life. Other times dreaming about traveling to a fun place and having a great time could be a form of compensation or wish-fulfillment. This type of a dream can be an escape from our daily life and form of transcendence into a beautiful dream world. If you are constantly having dreams about traveling, take a closer look at the current situations in your life. Are things going well, or are they more difficult than you would like them to be? Are your dreams a form of escapism and entertainment or are they reassuring you that life is an adventure and to keep moving forward? See also: Journey , Car , Road , Train , Airplane

Tree
The tree in your dream is you. The health, size and overall quality of the tree is indicative of how you feel about yourself. This interpretation is to be made only when the tree is the focal point of the dream. Also, consider whether the tree is alive with leaves, flowers or fruit, or if it's barren. You may see trees in your dream as a part of a landscape or as a secondary symbol. At those times, consider all of the details as they may have different interpretations than the one just given.

Trial
This dream may be your conscience at work. The judge may represent your innermost slef. If you are the accused, you may be feeling guilty about something or may be punishing yourself in some way. Who is your accuser? This person may represent an aspect of yourself. Perhaps you are being too hard on yourself?
Mystical Meaning - Most dream oracles say that this dream foretells legal disputes.

Tunnel
When interpreting this dream, consider all of the details and the quality of your experience. Did you see a light at the end of the tunnel, or were you trapped in a tunnel unable to determine your location? The tunnel could represent a variety of things. If it was not an unpleasant experience, it may symbolize a transitional period and a passage into new levels of understanding or ways of living. Freud thought that any tunnel-like object represented the vagina. A tunnel in a dream may also be a symbol representing the archetype of the feminine.

Turtle
These animals hold interesting symbolism. Most people loved turtles in childhood and some do in adulthood. The ideas that they convey are those of steadfastness and caution.

The turtles have strong protective shells, which may also be symbolic of your defense mechanisms or real life protection with which you have surrounded yourself.

Twins
If your dream entails giving birth to twins, or if you are dreaming about baby twins, please see birth . Twins in astrology represent opposites, and we may use this symbolism to explain our dream. The twins could suggest a duality in thoughts, ideas, feelings, or states of consciousness. The details of the dream will give you a clue to whether or not these varying aspects are in harmony or in conflict with each other. The twins could also represent the balance that is extremely important to our emotional and psychological health. Old dream interpretation books say that dreaming about adult twins foretells of "double trouble followed by double joy."
Mystical Meaning - Many ancient cultures consider twins to be divine. A very widespread and ancient belief, found among many people, says that twins always have different fathers. One of these fathers is supernatural, a god or spirit of some kind. Your dream may be showing you the spiritual side of yourself.
