A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

 

A


Airplane: If you are a passenger in a plane you may be subconsciously thinking about someone or something that is far away and you wish to get in touch. If you are the pilot it suggest that you have a sense of control and an underlying confidence that you will succeed in your endeavors.

Anxiety: Experiencing much anxiety in your dream state, may be related to your every day life and your current difficulties. There may be a great gap between the way things are and the way you would like them to be. An older interpretation indicates that when you dream about anxiety the contrary is true and that your worries will be lessened.
Anger: This may be a carry over from your daily life. In our dreams we can experience and express such feelings safely. Feeling great anger in your dream may be disturbing, but pay attention to it and attempt to deal with all of your emotions in a more appropriate and productive manner.
Animals: For a more specific interpretation please look up each animal by its name. If you are dreaming about wild animals the interpretation depends on the circumstances in your dream and on the level of their hostility. Wild animals are generally a good omen, but if there is aggression, see how this is relevant to a current issue in your life, be warned and proceed with caution.
Ambulance: In old dream dictionaries, dreaming about an ambulance could be labeled as a dream of warning. In more modern terms, you unconscious mind may by attempting to convey information which you have been unwilling to consciously deal with. Pay attention to your physical body and see if your health is an issue. Otherwise, this dream may be pointing to some urgent situation in your life. Consider all of the details in your dream, examine your daily life and make an attempt to see if there is something that requires your immediate attention.
 
Attack: Research shows that the content of most dreams is more frequently unpleasant than pleasant. Most people have experienced violent dreams and dreams in which they are being attacked. To understand your dream consider all of its details and think about whether you are being attacked or you are attacking. If you are being attacked then maybe you are feeling somewhat vulnerable in some area of your daily life. If you are doing the attacking, it may be that you are releasing some of your frustrations and anger. You may be expressing negative feelings in such ways that you are unable to do in daily life.
 

B


Bathroom: Judging by all of the e-mail that I receive, dreaming about bathrooms seems to be common. In daily life, the bathroom is extremely important to our functioning. In our dreams, it may be a valuable symbol. It suggests that there is a need for emotional and psychological cleansing. You may need to get rid of emotional and psychological baggage. It is difficult to be carefree and happy, when old issues keep bringing you down. The bathroom is a good dream symbol. Consider all of the details in your dream, make an effort to cleanse mind and spirit, by putting useless thoughts and feeling behind you!
Bicycle: All vehicles symbolize our passage through the journey of life. Since the bicycle is usually acquired earlier in life than a car, it could be pointing out some of your adolescent tendencies. If you are a teenager, then it may be a routine way of getting around. Riding a bicycle in your dream, may symbolize a need for balance and hard work in order for you to succeed in a current endeavor. Some think that the bicycle could also represent your need for some type of assistance. Consider all of the details in your dream, including whether you are traveling up or down the road.
Birth: Woman who are pregnant and men who are going to be fathers, commonly have dreams about giving birth. It is not an omen of anything to come, but simply the mind tries to cope with an event that is significant in magnitude and can be anxiety provoking. If you or your mate are not pregnant, this dream could symbolize new beginnings. Giving birth to new ideas, new ways of living, or a new stage in life. Superstition based dream interpretations say that giving birth in a dream is a sign of good luck, and multiple births are omens of forthcoming material wealth.
Birds: In old dream interpretation books, birds are considered lucky omens (unless it was a blackbird, in which case it is an omen of negativity). Doves and eagles are generally spiritual symbols. Your dream depends on its details, but if the birds in your dream were flying free it may be symbolic of spiritual, psychological, or physical freedom.

 

 

Burial: Dreaming about burying a dead person or funerals, does not necessarily symbolize physical death for you or anyone else. It could instead symbolize an ending of a different kind. You may be burying relationships, conditions or even emotions that you no longer need, and that are no longer conducive to your personal growth. On the other hand this dream may symbolize the burying of sensitivities and emotions that are too difficult to cope with. It may reflect a numbness or a feeling which is the opposite of aliveness, such as depression and emptiness. Either way, burying a person that is alive suggests some emotional turmoil. Please consider all of the details in this dream to find the appropriate message. Old dream interpretation books say that dreaming about burials is a dream of the contrary. Instead of sadness the dreamer will experience happiness and go to celebrations, such as weddings.
Blood: It is the life giving, vital part of our physiology and it may symbolize our strengths and weaknesses, our physical and mental health. If you are currently experiencing a very difficult time in your life, you may have dreams with bloody and frightening images. Don't worry, you may be venting your fears! Some believe that when you see blood in your dream, the distressing situation in your life, which is at the root of the dream, has come to an end and the worst is over. Consider the details and the relationships between of all the symbols in your dream before making an interpretation..

 

 

Butterfly: Some say that the butterfly represents the spirit or the essence of the individual. Butterflies are generally symbols of transformation, as in nature they go through metamorphosis. They are beautiful, evasive, and at times inspiring. Your subconscious mind may be pointing out the most positive part of yourself or another.
 

C


Crying: In our dreams we experience a variety of emotions. Crying in the dream state generally has the same meaning as crying in daily life. It is a release of negative emotions, frustration or fear. Or you could be experiencing the tears of joy. Due to repression or denial, sometimes people are unable to express their feelings. In the dream state some of our defense mechanisms may relax and an emotional release occurs. Some emotional dreams may be compensatory in nature. Thus, if you never cry in daily life, you may cry in your dreams.
 

 

Car: The car can symbolize the larger self or just the physical self. Consider all details of your dream including the emotional aspects of it. Is the road difficult, going up hill or down hill, and who is in the driver seat? Recurring car dreams usually deal with issues of control. Some would say that you can examine weather you have an internal or external locus of control. Additionally, in this dream you can learn something very important about yourself. You can get in touch with your own perceptions in regard to how well you are navigating from one stage of your life to another, weather you are assertive and take charge, or passive.
Child: Some people have reoccurring dreams about a small child, while others, from time to time, dream about unfamiliar children. The child in your dream could represent your inner self, or the child within. The dream could be based on childhood memories, and it may carry a specific message or bringing up buried issues. On the other hand, the dream could simply be a happy remembrance. Children in dreams could symbolize a need and an eagerness to learn, simplicity, intuition, new endeavors and many other positive attributes of childhood. Occasionally, the child in your dreams may be pointing to your own childish ways, thus consider all of the details and the tone of the dream before making interpretation.
Chase: Folklore interpretations say that if you are looking at a chase or participating in it, you will have a comfortable old age. Although this may be comforting, there is a more realistic understanding of this activity in a dream. If you are being chased, maybe you are running away or trying to escape those things that are frightening and unpleasant. It may be your own habits and negative behaviors. If you are doing the chasing, it may be that you are expressing some aggressive feelings toward others, or you are pursuing a very difficult goal.
 
 
Climbing: Going upward or ascending, is always a positive dream symbol. Whether you are struggling on a difficult rope or a latter, or walking up an easy slope, this dream suggests that you are moving in the right direction. If the climb in your dream is extremely difficult, it may be pointing to some obstacles that you need to overcome before reaching your goals. Consider all of the details in your dream and if you just completed a difficult task, or accomplished a goal (such as graduating from college), this dream may be reflective in nature.
Closet: The closet in your dream may have emotional, psychological or physical connotations. Closets are used to store good things that we need, as well as useless stuff. Emotionally they hold memories, secrets, precious emotions and valuable thoughts. Consider all of the details in your dream and try to see the message clearly. Do you need to clean out the closet, come out of the closet, or share the things that you have stored in that closet?
Colors: Most people dream in colors, but at times some stand out more than others. Color are symbolic and their symbolism is part of culture. We communicate with color and relate ideas with them. For example, a bride wears white, black is worn at funerals, and the bull gets attracted to red. Colors also symbolize or represent energy, such as in the color spectrum. The meaning that you give to the colors in your dreams depends on the meaning that you give to those colors in daily life. If you "see red" when you are angry, then red symbolizes anger and not passion for you. Some generalizations have been made as to the meaning of colors in dreams. They are as follows: Black - depression, sadness, despair. Some believe it symbolizes hidden sexual desires. Blue - some believe that it is a very spiritual color and that when you see it in your dreams you may be in the presence of your spiritual guide. Otherwise it may symbolize positive thinking and optimism about the future. Green - can have several different types of meanings depending on the details in the dream. It could represent money, jealousy, concerns about health, or love. Red - passion, anger, or a warning. White - purity, transformation, cleanliness and dignity.
Cancer: You may be experiencing anxiety and fear as a result of a bad habit or a certain situation in your daily life. In more traditional interpretation, dreaming of cancer may be considered a dream of the contrary, but also of warning.

Danger: If you are in a dangerous situation in your dream, you may consider this a sign from your subconscious. Take the hint and pay closer attention to your finances, business matters, health and things in general. If you faced the danger in your dream, it may be a positive sign and an indication that you are capable of overcoming current obstacles.
 
Death: If you are the dead person in your dream it suggests that you world like to leave all of your worries and struggles behind and start a new. Dreaming about someone that you care about dying may express your fear about loosing that individual and having to live your life without them. Dreaming that one of your parents died my express fear of loosing them, but it also may be an unconscious valve through which you release angry and other negative feelings about them.
Dog: A dog or dogs in your dream could symbolize a large variety of ideas or concepts. Carefully consider all of the details and the mood in your dream. First, if you have a dog, it may be natural to dream about him. We become emotionally attached to our dogs, and we dream about them just like we dream about anything else that is important to us. Otherwise, consider all of the connotations that have been given to dogs. Dogs could symbolize loyalty and hard work. If someone calls you a dog, it's a negative reflection on your personality. If you are being treated like a dog, you are most likely being abused in some way. On the metaphysical level, dogs are consider to be the guards of the underworld, and for the dreamer they may be bringing up some messages from the unconscious. Finally, dogs could represent the more basic or "animal" parts of ourselves, and some think that they specifically represent male energy.

Drowning: This is a very common dream and one that can invoke a great amount of fear. However, it may have positive significance. This dream may suggest to the dreamer that he is overwhelmed by unresolved emotions, old issues, or a current crisis. It suggests that a release of the old is necessary in order to emerge and begin anew. This dream serves to awaken the dreamer to consciously embrace and begin to effectively cope with problems and negativity in his life.

 

 

 

Door: Doors are passageways and in our dreams they hold that symbolism. Going thorough a door may represent going form one state of consciousness to another, or from one inner plane to another. If the doors are locked or closed it may represent opportunities that are not currently available to you, or obstacles. Many doors may represent choices that you are currently faced with.
Disasters: Dreaming about natural disasters, such as earthquakes and floods, is not that uncommon. People usually have these dreams at a time when there are many changes going on in their lives. Most people have ambivalent feelings about change, and some resist even positive changes. Thus, quick shifts in life styles or some type of a crisis, may bring about dreams of natural disasters.
 

E


Eating: To interpret this dream adequately you need to take into consideration all the details in the dream, including what type of food you are eating. Eating usually symbolizes comfort, pleasure and love. If you are eating alone, you may be experiencing some feelings of loneliness in daily life. If you are dreaming about eating with others, some may say that it suggests an increase in prosperity and resources. If you are sharing a meal with someone of the opposite sex, you may have a desire to develop a relationship with that person and possibly engage in intimacy.

 

 

Ex-boy/girlfriend: It is very common for people to dream about ex partners. Individuals that have been an important part of our lives, continue to take up a part of our mind and heart. It is impossible to very dramatically shut the person out of our thoughts and feelings. Just because the relationship ends, does not mean that all is finished. As we go through relationships, we learn, and at times pick up "battle wounds". You will continue to dream about your ex-girlfriend or boyfriend until you "let go" of them on a very important and deep level, or until you learned your lesson from that relationship. Either way, dreaming about your ex-romance does not predict future involvement. It may be wish fulfillment, reliving memories, or working out old issues. Dreams are very rarely prophetic.
 

F


Falling: This is a common dream which usually represents underlying fears and feelings of inadequacy and helplessness. Interpret your dream by considering your primary fears and current difficulties. Especially, those situations that seem somewhat outside of your control (financial, romantic, etc.). The prophetic meaning of this dream is if you fall a long distance and get hurt, be prepared for really hard times a head, but if you fall and do not get injured your upsets will be minor and temporary.
Father: Dream can be looked at on several different levels. You may be dreaming about your father and expressing your feeling, about him or toward him, in a safe way. Traditionally a father dream can be seen as symbolizing authority and power. In your dream you are expressing you attitude about your strengths and weaknesses, as they relate to your position in life, and your general attitude toward society.

 

Fear: If you are experiencing great fear in your dreams, you are having nightmares. These types of dreams are positive because your unconscious mind is trying to tell you something. If your have repressed issues, they are coming to the surface. Think about the fear in your dreams and try to be honest with yourself. Face your fears, as a great American president once said, "There is nothing to fear, but fear itself".
Fighting: It usually symbolized anger and confusion which comes about in times of change. If nothing is changing in your life, it may be a clue that a change is needed or that you trying to change internally.

 

 

Fire: This is a very complex symbol, which can have both negative and positive connotations. When interpreting this dream, you need to consider all of its details and your emotional responses in the dream. Fire can be a deeply spiritual symbol, representing transformation and enlightenment. On the other hand it could represent danger, anger, passion, pain or fear. Is the fire in your dream destroying something or simply warming you? Are you currently engaging in negative behaviors, or are knowingly making wrong (or destructive) choices? Your subconscious mind may be warning you, and at the same time encouraging you to alter those things in your life which may be hurtful and dangerous.

 

 

Flying: Dreams of flying are very common and most people can recall having flown in a dream or two. There are many ideas as to what this means. Some people believe that flying in our dreams can be an actual out of body experience. That we go to places on this physical plane as well as into the inner planes (mostly the Astral). Edgar Cayce thought that this Astral travel may be a precursor to becoming lucid in a dream. Carl Jung's idea was that in a flying dream we are expressing our desire to brake free of restrictions and limitations. We have a desire to be free and above all of our difficulties! Alfred Adler, thought that this dream was a type of a superiority dream in which we reveal the desire to dominate and be above others. Focusing on the libido, Freud thought that flying was just another way to express sexual desires. The details of your dream will give you clues as to what it symbolizes, if your dream was a spiritual experience or ego based. Enjoy it, flying is fun!
Friends: Our dreams are full of symbolism, with their messengers being all different types of people. It is very common to dream about our friends. These are individual that are emotionally valuable to us, and we learn about ourselves through them. Dreams are very rarely prophetic, thus whether your dream was good or bad, don't expect it to come true. This dream is more than likely attempting to bring up uncomfortable feelings that you have about yourself or others (remember "uncomfortable" does not necessarily mean bad). Dreams are created by our own thinking processes, our own thoughts created our dreams....thus, the mind that created the dream also knows it's meaning!!!
 

G


Garden: It may be a symbolism of lost innocence or youth. Folk lore tells us that dreaming of beautiful gardens is symbolic of great happiness and love. If the garden is wild it means that you may have difficulties, but with some care and attention you are capable of overcoming them.
Gift: If you are giving presents, your subconscious may be trying to tell you that your current difficulties will pass with positive outcomes. If you are receiving them it is another good sign that suggest that you are feeling lucky these days.
 

H


Happiness: If you are currently experiencing sadness, this dream may be a psychological compensation and a positive way of comforting yourself. Traditionally, if you dream of being really happy you need to look around you to make sure that you are not overlooking anything (including your health). Dreaming of happy children is always a good omen.
House: It is common to dream about houses. They usually symbolize our emotional and psychological selves. Pay attention to the details in this dream and you may learn a thing or two about yourself.

 

 

I


Illness: If you are ill in your dream please pay attention to your health. At times our subconscious gives us warnings before we are consciously aware of any symptoms. Emotional health can also be included in such dreams, so take care of your relationships and express your feelings in positive ways. If someone you care about is ill in your dream, maybe you are concerned about loosing the support and love of that person.

 

Intruder: Seeing an intruder breaking into your house or hurting your or someone else, can be a very scary dream. Depending on the level of fear, this dream can at times be a nightmare. The intruder braking the law or braking into your house may be representative of your subconscious feelings. The intruder may be a symbol of your guilt and self-indulgent attitudes or behaviors. Or it may represent the more negative side of your nature. If you had a fearful real life experience with an intruder, in this dream you may be reliving this experience and hopefully letting go of the fear.

 

J


Journey: Dreaming about traveling or moving in various vehicles is very common. It represents our path in life and it may reflect some of our fear and anticipation.

 

K


Key: Just like with most dreams, look for the obvious connection to your daily life. Are you trying to figure something out? Do you wish to hide something? Are you locking something up or are you opening the door? Last but not least, does this dream have any sexual connotations for you?
 
Killing: If you are killing someone in your dreams, you are probably expressing hostile feelings. Consider this an opportunity to look at your negative feelings and decide what would be the best and the least destructive way to address them. If you are a witness to a killing, you may be reflecting on changes going on around you, that you don't particularly like.
Knife: This tool does not have positive connotations. It may reflect the unrest and difficulty that you are experiencing. If you are self-mutilating, consider your actions and/or addictions. Take a hint from your and subconscious modify or discontinue your harmful thoughts or actions.

 

L


Love: For most of us, love is a full time obsession . We are concerned about the love of our parents. children, co-workers, friends, and many, many others. There is nothing more important to our emotional or psychological well being then love. It is also a vital part of any growth process. We need to have a healthy dose of self love so that we can in turn love the world. Dreams may be filled with images of love, friendship, compassion and lust. At the end, it is all about acceptance and belonging. To be loved is to feel accepted and to have a sense of belonging. In our dreams we may be trying to figure out this mystery called love. The dream may be a form of wish fulfillment, or compensatory in nature. It may be spiritual or practical, but it always deals with a significant part of our selves.

 

M


Marriage: It is a symbol of commitment and depending on the details of your dream, you may be currently dealing with this issue. The commitment could be to your work, to yourself or to your partner. If you are not married, this dream could simply be a form of wish-fulfillment.
Mirror: It is a symbol of vanity and superficiality. You may be concerned about your image and the way you present yourself to the world. Some say that if you see a clear image you may be getting a glimpse of your true self. Broken mirrors always seem to be a sign of bad luck, or at least represent some distortions.
Money: The significance money has in your waking life is reflected in your dream state. Money is a symbol of power and wealth. We often judge ourselves based on our ability to make it, save it, and spend it. First consider your own relationship with money and your current financial situation as this dream could be simple wish-fulfillment. As always, consider all of the accompanying details in your dream because they will help you to understand where your issues lie. Traditional Dream Interpretations indicate that losing money in your dream is a good omen, and that most likely the opposite will happen.
Mother: The relationship that we have with our mother is the most psychologically significant relationship of them all. Rarely all good or all bad, our mothers always invoke powerful emotions. We may dream about our mothers in all different forms. She may be in disguise in our dreams, and it is our job to find her in there. If you are dreaming about your mother, you may be addressing some issues or concerns in your dream, or your dream may be based on a valuable memory. The general image of "mother" in a dream may symbolize a variety of feelings and ideas, including: caring, nurturing, love, acceptance, hard work, sacrifice, martyrdom. .etc.

 

N


Night: Night time appears to be a very common background to many dreams. If it is very dark in many of your dreams, it suggests that you are hiding something or are not willing to see things clearly. You may the type who likes to ignore, minimize or hide your problems.

 

O


Ocean: It historically represents our great unconscious mind. Look at all of the details in this dream. Is the water clear or murky? Is it calm or turbulent? Are you catching fish or are you stranded and afraid? Look, listen and try to comprehend the messages in this dream. No one can really give meaning to your dreams, like you can. Concentrate and learn for yourself.

 

P


Paralysis Dreaming that you or someone else is paralyzed could be a very scary thing. Depending on the details of your dream and your current situation in life, there are several different, but equally, reasonable interpretations. You may be paralyzed with fear in your dream, which may be symbolic of the fear that you are experiencing in daily life. You may feel somewhat unable to change a current situation and it has manifested itself in your dream, in the form of paralysis. Also, this dream could be sending you a message of caution. It may be conveying to you to stay still and do nothing for now, in regard to a situation that is on your mind and that may be problematic for you.

Piano The piano is a symbol of music and harmony. It represents creative expression, and all types of sounds may be uplifting symbols of spiritual awareness. Superstition based dream interpretation books say that the piano is an omen of a good financial period in your life, and that moving a piano represents solid achievements on the part of the dreamer.
 
 
 

People Usually our dreams are filled with people. We dream about our families, our friends, our neighbors and our classmates. We dream about strangers, colleges, famous people, teachers, and at times, about those that we consider to be our enemies. Each dream is very special and carries its own unique message. When interpreting the dream with people in it, consider all of the details and the feelings in the dream. If the person is known to you, think about your relationship with them and the issues that the dream has brought up. We learn about ourselves through others, and probably our most valuable possessions are our relationships. Some believe that the strangers in your dreams represent different parts of yourself and your personality. Many people believe that their dreams predict the future. When they have negative or scary dreams, they become anxious about the future. Alternatively, when their dreams are a form of wish fulfillment, they get very excited and are hopeful that the dream will come true. Most dreams are not prophetic. They are psychological or spiritual in nature, and their primary function may be to help us live better in the present moment, rather than telling us about what is to come.

Police Dreaming about the police could symbolize many different things, thus please consider all of the details carefully. If the police is chasing you, it suggests that you may be feeling some guilt about something that you have done, or have been thinking of doing. The police could be addressing Karmic Law as well as the laws in our physical world. If you are feeling that you can't meet all of your obligations and are fearing repercussions due to an unmet commitment, the police in your dream may be an unwelcome sight. On a more positive note and depending on the details of your dream, the police could symbolize support and protection. Your emotional response to the police will provide you with good clues to interpreting this dream accurately. Old dream interpretation books say that dreaming about police is an indication that you will obtain unexpected assistance with a current problem.

 

 

Pregnancy If you are afraid of being pregnant, you may dream of it often. At times woman learn about their pregnancy in their dreams. Your mind knows about everything that is going on in your body even if you are not consciously aware of it. But, don't panic! You could also be pregnant with ideas! Old dream interpretation books say that for a woman to have a dream about pregnancy is a good omen, and that an improvement in her intimate relationship is forthcoming. For a man, it is a warning against casual sex.

Parents In this dream you may be expressing feelings and concerns about your parents that you could not express in daily life. Some believe that this dream usually has nothing to do with your parents, but rather the male and female sides of personality. Others believe that the father represents the expressive, creative and protective side of God and the mother the receptive and nurturing side of God.
 
Panic: The feeling of panic suggests lack of control and confusion. If the primary emotion in your dream was panic, consider the details and try to understand why you were panicking. Do you feel fear, a sense of helplessness and confusion or were you unable to make a quick and accurate decision? Think about it.

 

Q


Quicksand You may be experiencing feelings of helplessness and an inability to get out of a situation in your daily life. This common sense approach can easily be applied and with some effort you can examine your feelings and actions which are symbolized in this dream.
 
 

R


Rainbow Rainbows are colorful bridges that fall across the sky and we can not walk across them (or use them to get to our pot of gold). Even though your ideas and joyfulness, at the current time, may be extraordinary or even magical, remember that you can not walk across the rainbow bridge so stay well grounded. Usually there is a rainbow following a rain storm. If you have weathered a difficult time which is coming to closure, this dream symbol may represent your joy and optimism. Generally, rainbows make people smile and feel happy. Thus, some may say that this dream is a sign of your good luck. I say that you must be feeling good on some level, and the dark clouds that keep you down are gone for now. Enjoy your dream and your good mood!!
Rain The meaning depends on your current circumstances and on the kind of rain that is falling. Rain in nature usually cleans, refreshes and fertilizes (plants). Depending on the dreamer it could suggest a period of renewal and fertility (reproduction or creativity). However, dark clouds and a heavy down pour indicate feelings of isolation and helplessness.

 

 

 

Rose Most flowers are seen as friendly dream symbols. Roses may have their own special meaning as they are the most frequently used flowers. They could represent femininity, beauty, love and romance. Roses may have some spiritual significance as well. They are used when expressing both positive and negative emotions. They unfold and can be considered symbols of innocence. The color of the rose, as well as the details of the dream should be considered when making interpretation. White -- purity; red -- passion; pink -- romance and love; black -- death.
Running Are you competing, or running from or to something? In order to have a good understanding of this dream you should consider those factors. If you are simply running it may be an indication that you need to slow down in your every day life. If you are competing you need to consider your rivalry and realistically look at the current challenges. If you are running in a race and win, your subconscious may be expressing confidence that you may or may not feel in the wakened state. Running in your dreams may also symbolize the energy levels, the strength, or the force that you have to get through life.

 

S


Shopping For most of us, shopping is not simply a necessity, but a favorite pastime. It is a source of pain and pleasure, as well as recreation and "quality" time with family or friends. Depending on the details in the dream and its emotional background, dreaming about going shopping may have several different connotations. Generally, if shopping in your dream is not a source of great stress and confusion, it suggests that those things which you need are available to you. Your environment may have readily available emotional, psychological, spiritual or physical support. However, you may need to learn exactly where to look, how to pick out what you need and when to make a wise investment. This dream calls upon you to know yourself. Before you can ask for, or get what you need, you first need to accurately identify it.
School This dream may be interpreted on several different levels. If you are the student you may be feeling inadequate in some areas of your life, or you may lack self confidence. School has not always been a positive experience, but it is always considered necessary. Ask yourself what do you need to learn more about? If you were a teacher in your dream, you may be dealing with issues of authority. From a spiritual point of view, some believe that in the dream state an individual may travel to the inner planes, or the spiritual realm, and there attend classes which assist in spiritual growth and development.

 

 

Sibling It is very common for us to dream about all different types of people. Siblings are a fantastic source of dream material. Our siblings are important to us emotionally and psychologically. We are bonded to them on some level throughout our lives, thus they will appear in our dreams in may different forms. We learn important lessons about ourselves through our brothers and sisters. They are a reflection on us and we can not escape their presence, or their love, hate or any other emotion . If you have many unresolved issues with your siblings, there are more likely to frequently appear in your dreams.
Snow It is water in its solid form and it may symbolize chilled and unexpressed emotions, or emotions which have been repressed for an extended period of time. The snow in your dream suggests that your or someone else is emotionally cold, unresponsive and indifferent. Clean, white snow may represent innocence, truth, peace and relaxation. Virgin snow, as you may see it covering a beautiful landscape, may represent new beginnings, or a new way of seeing things and dirty snow may represent guilt.
Spider The spider is usually symbolic of an unkind and sneaky individual. Are you the spider building a web, or are you being dragged into one? Spider's web represent entanglement and general complexities of life. Depending on the details of the dream, it could also be symbolic of a smothering individual in your daily life (and it doesn't always have to be your mother, just joking). Ironically, very old dream interpretations say that the spider is an omen of good luck!

 

Stealing People steal for two reasons; if they are poor and feel like they have no other alternative, or if they are greedy and do not want to put the time and the effort into earning what they need (this could be emotional as well as material "stuff"). Everyone knows that stealing is illegal and immoral, and it has these qualities in the dream as well as in reality. Consider all of the details of your dream and try to understand why the stealing is taking place. Are people taking form you without your permission, or are you trying to reap the benefits of that which you did not earn? The message from the unconscious may be that of self evaluation, neediness and morality. The understanding of this dream may bring you closer to understanding your deeper needs which will ultimately lead to greater happiness.

Stranger The interpretation of seeing and interacting with a stranger, or strangers, in your dream depends on the details of your dream and on your personal belief system. Some Eastern cultures believe that the strangers in your dreams are spirits from another dimension. These spirits may be teaching you lessons or giving you specific messages. The more modern approach to interpreting a dream with strangers in it, is that they represent different sides, or unfamiliar aspects, of our personality. The best way to tell is to "check inside" of yourself and simply try to understand the message of this dream. Whether the message is coming from your unconscious, or from a different reality, may be irrelevant. The message, or the lessons gained through a dream is far more important then where it came from. Just remember: The mind that dreamt the dream also knows its source and meaning (and that is YOUR own mind).

Storm Everything in our life is a reflection of us and on us, it's no different in our dreams. The storm in your dreams may be reflective of some difficulty in your life. Consider all of the details and notice if you took shelter from the storm or were you swept away by it. Did the storm pass you by and were you safe, or did you suffer? All of us experience difficulties in life, our dreams make an attempt to bring us to awareness and out of denial. Think about the storms in your life, how you will weather them, and what you can do to make them subside.
 
 
 
 

 

T


Teeth First look at the physical and note if you are having any current dental problems. Otherwise, teeth usually symbolize power and/or control. Animals use their teeth for defense and nourishment, and show their teeth when angry. Human beings are not much different, except that with the help of our teeth we can speak clearly and properly. 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, or if they are breaking away). Old dream interpretations say that dreaming about teeth is a bad omen which suggest financial difficulties. Dreaming about teeth is very common in all cultures and across the ages. Most dreams about teeth leave people feeling uneasy and anxious...consider the overall content and context of the dream before making interpretation.
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?

 

 

 

 

Tornado is a violent storm in nature and it may represent violent emotional storms in your dreams. If you continually dream about being in a tornado consider the emotional changes in your life and also the amount of anger and rage that you may be currently experiencing. Tornadoes could also represent disruptions and upsets in you immediate environment, and specific, current issues or problems that may be overwhelming.
Train 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 your life in general. 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.

 

U


Umbrella In our dreams we usually use umbrellas to protect our conscious mind from our subconscious. It may symbolize our unwillingness to deal with negative emotions and psychological baggage or trauma. If the umbrella is open, you may be protecting yourself from the "stuff" in your unconscious. If the umbrella is opened it may indicate that you are prepared and willing to discover yourself. Old dream interpretation say that the umbrella is the symbol of security and, also, if the umbrella is broken or turned inside out your ultimate achievement is possible but delayed.

 

V


Violence If in your daily life you are experiencing great disturbances and even trauma, dreaming about violence is not uncommon. This dream indicates that you may have a tremendous amount of fear and feelings of powerlessness. These negative emotions usually make people feel very angry. In the safe world of dreams, your subconscious may be releasing some of your negative feelings and encouraging you to deal with them in daily life (hopefully in a less destructive manner).
Volcano It usually represents our emotionality. If you are dreaming about an erupting volcano, you may be harboring and building up many negative emotions. In this dream your subconscious may be telling you to release your feeling slowly and safely, rather than "blowing up". In older dream interpretation books, poring lava is a warning about poor health.

 

 

W


Waves The waves of the ocean may represent emotional ups and downs. If you are currently experiencing a period of tranquility and peace in your life, you may be dreaming about calm waters and gentle ocean waves. This dream suggests that you may be gathering energy and recharging emotionally. The more common dream is that of very violent and dangerous tidal waves. 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 effecting your daily moods. Giant tidal waves from your dream may be symbolic of current emotional unhappiness and psychological stress, which are threatening to destroy you. The outcome of this dream could reveal to you how much strength you have to "ride" this storm. If you are not consumed by the tidal waves of your dream, be assured that you will survive the challenges.

Waterfall As mentioned in many dream symbols containing water, it generally represents the unconscious and the emotions. The waterfall is a symbol of positive energy in regard to cleansing of negative emotions and of psychological issues. Just a simple visualization or a day dream of standing in a waterfall, makes a person feel energized and refreshed. If the waterfall in your dream was overwhelming and too powerful for you to enjoy, it may represent emotional energy and unconscious drives that are currently "too much" for you to deal with effectively on a conscious level.

 

 

Wedding This dream may be a form of wish-fulfillment for some people. However, it usually symbolizes the joining of many parts of self. The coming together in a harmonious fashion of the may parts of your personality or psyche. The integration of the masculine, the feminine, the physical and the spiritual. From this point of view this is a positive dream. However, may cultures believe that this dream is a negative omen. That it generally represents the coming of grief and maybe death. Also the dream may symbolize a sweet, but very brief, interlude. Consider the many aspects of this dream before rushing to a conclusion about its meaning, especially the mood of the dream and your feelings upon awakening.

 

Z


Zombie Dreaming about the living dead may carry a powerful message to you. If you are "walking around like a zombie", it usually means that you are completely detached from all of the things that are going on around you. You may be emotionally flat and not be able to appropriately feel positive or negative emotions. Currently, you may be somewhat out of touch with the main flow of life around you.
