DREAMS U SEE
Dream A
Dream : A part of life
Dreaming is a part of life. Everyone dreams. They dream for as long as they live. “That can’t be true,” some will say. ” People who say this just don’t remember having dreamed once they have woken up.Even unborn babies dream in their mother’s womb.
Dreams are the gateway to an inner world, a world just as real as the one outside. What is outside is also inside; what is inside is also outside. Dreams inform us in a visual language about repressed experiences and other process of the unconscious. Dream images and activities, however strange and even meaningless they may seem, show symbolic structures. Scientific research into dreams, compared dream material with its symbolic content. Dreams became psychotherapy’s most important aid in exploration of the unconscious. A knowledge of the meaning of these symbols is of great assistance in the interpretation of dreams.
Dream B
Baker
Professions generally represent a comparable psychic process. The baker provides the daily bread. He transforms unpalatable grain into a nutritious food. The baker is the symbol for that inner aspect of the dreamer which is responsible for spiritual nourishment.
Ball
Like the sphere, the ball is a symbol of totality; when we think of expressions like ‘the terrestrial globe’ or ‘the orb of the sun’, it becomes clear that the ball can be an image of concentrated psychic energy. It indicates processes of alteration and change.
Baptism (bath)
Baptism is the symbol of spiritual cleansing. The dream image of baptism indicates that it has become necessary to liberate oneself from old, obstructive and incorrect attitudes. After liberation from such obsolete attitudes, the consciousness can take a new direction.
Bath
This has the same significance in dreams as in almost all myths and fairytales, that of a symbol of change and cleansing. The image of a bath or bathroom occurs particularly before decisive turning-points in the dreamer’s life. The water in the dream bath symbolizes spiritual energy. Should the bath be a pool in the open air, for example, it is a thoroughly positive image. A modern swimming-pool, on the other hand, indicates the obstacle modern civilization poses to psychic cleansing and change.
Bear
The bear appears mostly as a helpful, motherly, earthy animal. In a woman’s dream, the bear can appear as an indication of the neglected motherly side of her character. On the other hand, the bear embodies a powerful natural force.
Bed
Generally speaking, the dream images of a bed assumes an erotic significance. A bed which fills the whole room means that the dreamer awards sexuality too much significance in his life. the reverse is true when the bed is too small or too narrow.
Belt
The man’s belt has long been a symbol of male strength. Vital energy was thought to stem form the loins and the kidneys; in the past, vitality and sexual potency were always synonymous. For women, the belt is a symbol of virtue and purity.
Bird
Birds live in the air, the world of the pure intellect. Birds in a dream symbolize intellectual matters.
Birth
The process of birth in a dream is a sign for the beginning of something new. Its symbolic meaning is, however, extremely rarely that of a real birth, even in the dreams of young women. If men dream of childbirth, it is an allusion to the origination of new ideas, career prospects, etc.
Blood
Blood is a symbol of vitality. There still exists a general popular belief in blood’s magical powers. Blood also symbolizes love and passion. Loss of blood can indicate loss of love, but can also indicate a necessary spiritual sacrifice. a blood transfusion can be seen as spiritual enrichment.
Bluebeard
In the fairytale, the knight Bluebeard is a man who gives his wife the keys to all the rooms of his castle. He warns her, however, not to open one particular door. When she defies the warning and opens the door in Bluebeard’s absence, she finds the corpses of his previous wives. Bluebeard catches her in the act, but she escapes death. Dreams like this, in numerous modern variations, are not uncommon.
According to Jung, this dream images is one of the many manifestations of the archetype for which he coined the expression Animus. In simple terms, this means the male element in the female personality. In this dream, with its figure of a woman-killing villain, an unconscious aspect of the female dreamer’s personality is shown – i.e. suppresses masculine traits.
Bombs & Explosions
Things of this nature are to be regarded as danger signals. they can conjure up past war-time experiences. They can indicate events which have caused shock.
Bread
Bread symbolizes ‘the staff of life’, and also spiritual invigoration. Bread always assumes a positive significance in dreams.
Bridge
Whenever a bridge appears in a dream, the psyche is signaling that a difficulty can be reconciled or bridged over. however, not every bridge is traversable. The method of construction – if for example the railing is missing or the bridge is incomplete – indicates possible dangers to the dreamer.
Bull
the bull is the symbol of male strength and potency. Sexuality requires domination by the male intellect. During cult festivals in Crete, it was usual that youths would grab a bull by the horns, swing onto its back and ride it. the symbolic meaning of this sport is unmistakable. In Spain, it has been preserved up to the present day in the form of bullfights. The image of a bull is not unfavorable, as long as the dreamer sees it as an indication that corresponding psychic energy should be tamed
Burglars
We frequently find dreams in which burglaries occur or burglars appear. With this image, the dream is expressing the invasion of the dreamer’s imaginative sphere by unconscious elements. What is being referred to here is something which has been overlooked or suppressed in everyday life.
Burial
A statistical evaluation of well over a thousand dreams showed that dreams of burials, dying and the dead are the most frequent of all. The dream symbolism corresponds to the real-life experience that it is often necessary for unfulfillable wishes or matters of conflict to be ‘buried’ once and for all. Of course, the image of a burial can also indicate painful experiences. The decisive factor is the further development in the dream. For the psyche, death represents a process of change. Frequently something new replaces that which has been symbolically buried.
Butterfly
The butterfly appears in a dream as a symbol for a mind which is going astray. the modern analogy of a woman’s butterfly mind, her flightiness and inconstancy, is very pertinent here. Woman cannot find peace of mind unless she has experienced sexuality’s spiritual significance in the union of man and woman.

Colors
The psyche often makes use of color symbolism to convey information in dreams. It is often asserted that people rarely dream in color. This is untrue. When the dreamer particularly emphasizes having dreamed in color, this simply means that he remembers the colors. As far as interpretation is concerned, this means that the dream is giving additional significance to the information conveyed by the use of these colors.
The following should be considered when interpreting the individual colors: BLACK must be regarded as a signal of a state of non awareness in the sense of a standstill. WHITE can also be a reference to a state of non awareness, like that which exists before the start or after the end of the psyche’s conscious life. White can thus indicate forebodings of death.
Yellow is like gold. In a dream, it is the color of mental, intuitive activity.
Red is the color which most excites out attention. Ted is the symbol for the dynamics of life. It is also a symbol for animal instincts and aggression. Orange is a particularly strong signal for activity.
Blue is the color which symbolizes the intellect. It indicates clear-headed deliberations and dispassionate thinking.
Purple is a signal for especial significance.
As new life begins in spring, when fields and meadows turn a fresh green sheen, this color has an extremely positive meaning. Color test series over a period of years showed that brown is preferred by neurotics and indicates unconscious complexes.
Violet in a dream symbolizes conflict situations arising form the opposition of body and intellect.
Canopy
The canopy is one of the attributes of a ruler. In a dream, it can be a sigh of male sovereignty.
Car
In a dream, the car symbolizes the motive energy or the vitality of its owner. Both the size of the car and its external apperances can indicate how the dreamer is regarded by the world about him. A speedy sports car can be a sexual symbol. The freedom of movement and the thrill of the speed are suggestive of unconstrained love. It is noteworthy that this symbolic meaning is used for advertising purposes. In dreams, however, cars and driving symbolize vitality in general rather than sexual potency
Carnivores
Carnivores symbolize strong aggressive tendencies. In mythology birds and beasts of prey are part of the entourage of the goddess of nature. This signifies the threatening and negative aspects female sexuality has for men. The carnivore also has this significance in dreams. The dream animals which signify male sexual aggression in women’s dreams are mostly smaller carnivores like polecats, wildcats, pine martens, etc.
Castle
Castles and fortresses, like all buildings, should be seen as the zone of the dreamer’s psychic life. They are also mother symbols, representing the sheltering and protective aspects of motherhood.
Cat
The cat symbolizes the realm of the emotions. mostly it has an erotic significance, indicating that attitudes towards sexuality are still on an animal, perfunctory level.
The cat’s sexual symbolic significance is illustrated by the fact that it is more or less a tame miniature carnivore. Implicit in this is a parallel ot the dreamer’s own muted animal instincts. The cat indicates a certain egocentricity on the dreamer’s part, as well as difficulties in making contact with the opposite sex.
In the dreams of neurotic women a tomcat can, for example, be the sign of a father-complex.
Chains
Chains symbolize a tie or a bond. This can apply, in a positive sense, to marriage. The negative significance of chains is imprisonment. A shackle in a dream, and also the familiar fashionable gold chain round the ankle, can imply masochistic tendencies.
Cave, grotto
The grotto is a holy place in the mythology of many races, particularly when there is a spring in it. It was dedicated to the goddess of nature and inhabited by nymphs, elemental spirits. In a dream, the grotto is an indication of the problems surrounding womanhood.
Child
The child symbolizes a new potentiality. Usually, the dreamer is being informed of the possibility of a new attitude to life. If the dream child is ill or on the verge of death, this is a warning signal. It shows the dreamer that spiritual aspects within him are in danger of becoming deadened. Dreams like this, however, are rate; mostly the child appears as a positive symbol.
Childhood
Childhood is frequently re-experienced in a dream. The dream refers to long-forgotten events which perhaps unconsciously still play too great a role in the dreamer’s life. the situation must be thought over again. In this way, the roots of neuroses can become apparent in dreams. Experience has shown that disturbed behavior in later life is conditioned all too frequently by childhood
Christ
When the image of Christ occurs, it should at all events be taken as a serious signal. It indicates that man cannot come to terms with the idea that his life is purely a meaningless coincidence without damage to his psychic equilibrium.
Church
If the dreamer finds himself in a church, this indicates the necessity of giving some thought to the meaning of life. Experience has shown that church dreams appear particularly when the dreamer avoids such consideration far too much in real life.
Circumcision
Circumcision is a part of the cult of initiation and masculinity rites. Should a similar scene appear in a dream, it is in no way connected with castration – quite the opposite! In the belief of primitive peoples, circumcision symbolizes the sacrifice of the animal instincts. The image of circumcision or of similar rituals in a dream indicates the necessity of becoming aware of one’s animal instincts.
Clergyman, vicar
If a clergyman or vicar appears in older people’s dreams, the dream is indicating the necessity of giving some thought to the meaning of life. In general, the image of a priest can also contain an allusion to his helpful function as a spiritual physician.
Clothes
Clothing shows the dreamer’s personality, or how he thinks his fellowmen see him. But it also shows the reverse – how he is really seen by the world about him. Clothes are symbols of the Persona, a concept of Jung’s. what he meant by this was man’s personality as he projects it – usually unconsciously – toward the world about him.
Clouds
The symbolic significance of clouds arises form their rain bearing properties. Rain still has the significance of the element which fertilizes seeds.
Coat

Corpse
A corpse in a dream is a danger signal of the highest order. Death is a symbol of transformation, followed as a rule by rebirth.

To a certain extent, this relates to a spiritual relationship which the consciousness regards as lifeless, or to a complex which still burdens the unconscious.

If the carriage is old and worn out, the rumors can be overcome with a minimal loss of prestige, by outlasting, ‘wearing them out’, until they finally die away.
Castle

Chariots

Court
There are two kinds of court to consider, one is the court of law, and the other is courtship.

It is also a prediction of financial reverses that can be staved off if you do not waste time, and keep your nose to the grindstone. Dreaming of courting, or being courted, is very bad luck, especially for a woman, as the lover she has her heart set on will never propose. See also, divorce court.
Coyote
A coyote, not being a very brave animal, will attack those living beings that are injured, dead, or just weaker then themselves, and they also run in packs like dogs, (kind of like street gangs).

A friendly coyote is an omen of deception.
Crash

Dream D
Dream D
Dance
This is a symbol of particular significance. The dance is one of man’s earliest modes of expression and is probably older than language itself. In prehistory, dancing was a kind of body-language.
Today, the dance still has the significance for us of a medium of erotic information and communication. The body-language of modern dances nowadays, with their accent on sexual gestures, is thoroughly reminiscent of primitive ritual dances. As a dream occurrence, it is an indication that psychic energy has been set in motion and that certain psychic elements are, so to speak, being charged up. The gestures and mime involved in the dance, i.e., the body-language, indicate more specifically how the dance should be interpreted.
Death
Death is, for the psyche, a process of transformation. Things which die in a dream are frequently replaced by something new. But usually the further developments in the dream show that spiritual renewal first requires sacrifices to be made.
Decapitation
Decapitation in a dream is not necessarily of such a dangerous nature as it may seem at first glance. For example, the psyche may be signaling with this image that the dreamer has been seeing things much too logically and has trapped himself in a situation where there is now way out. The symbolic decapitation indicates a way out of this mental predicament. Dreams in which the dreamer then receives a new head have been recorded.
Devil
The devil appears in dreams when the dreamer has suppressed religious problems form his consciousness without seriously considering them. Some consideration of the question of the purpose of life is an absolute necessity for psychic equilibrium.
Desert
If the setting for a dream is the desert, this should be seen as a danger signal. This image gives symbolic expression to modern man’s isolation in the mass society of today. No spiritual relationships can thrive on desert sand.
Doctor
The doctor is an important symbolic figure. His appeareance signals a threat of spiritual equilibrium. As a rule, he shows the dreamer which problem needs treatment. It is possible that the doctor appears purely as a warning signal. The diagnoses of dream doctors often seem nonsensical; their healing methods are reminiscent of magic. Experience has shown, however, that the dream doctor often signals psychic conflict – and also the outbreak of physical illness – long before the first symptoms can be determined.
Domestic animals, pets
Until about a hundred years ago, domestic animals like horses, pigs, cows, poultry, dogs and cats were a part of human everyday life. They were productive and useful animals. In dreams they remain helpful animals, i.e. they symbolize helpful psychic functions. In modern industrial society, man has lost his personal relationship to domestic animals. The pets kept in a big city nowadays are a substitute for lack of affection. This should be taken into account when interpreting the dream. The owners frequently identify themselves with their animal favorites. The attention and affection which they show to their pets is of a covertly erotic nature
Donkey
In common speech, the donkey is referred to in the context of male sexuality. The comparison arises form the fact that the sex drive can be as obstinate as a donkey because it cannot be influenced by the will. Riding on a donkey means being in command of one’s animal instincts. In the language of dreams, a donkey does not possess its proverbial stupidity.
Dove
Nowadays, the dove is a symbol of peace. In the Old Testament, the dove with the olive branch does not symbolize peace, but good fortune or renewal. The dove used the olive branch to branch to convey to Noah that the dangers of the Great Flood were over. This news provided the impulse for Noah to leave the ARk and start rebuilding civilization. In classical mythology, the dove belonged to Aphrodite (Venus), the goddess of love – here, however, with the subsidiary significance of purity and innocent lover or, to be more precise, platonic relationships. In a dream, the dove indicates the creative thoughts which arise form a platonic relationship.
Dragon
The dragon symbolizes the threatening and devouring aspects of the female personality. A battle with a dragon, however, always signifies the dreamer’s battle with himself or with an unconscious aspect of his psyche
Dwarf
In mythology, dwarfs are earth-spirits which belong to the great goddess of nature. In fairytales, they appear as spirits which help humans. They can also have a sexual significance, particularly when dwarfs with hoods appear.
Dagger To be attacked by someone with a dagger warns of bodily injury from an enemy or a mugger. To see a dagger in your dream is a warning to be careful of saying ‘cutting’ words to someone. To wrench the dagger from someones hand means you will overcome adversity and misfortune.
Dahlias

Dairy

Daisy
If someone gives you a bunch of daisys or if you see them it presages much sorrw for you and even a lost love.

Damask Rose
Should a woman dream of receiving a damask rose and places it in her hair then will she be deceived by someone thought of as a good friend.

To see the old fashioned rose bush in full foliage denotes a wedding in the family.
Damson (plum tree)
To see a damson tree in full leaves loaded with luscious fruit shows you will get your reward with the inheritance you receive. Should you eat of the plums you will have sorrow and grief as well as loss. If the tree is misshapen then it foretells of a time of domestic unrest.
Dance
The dance is always a good omen and it foretells many things, such as: children dancing signifies that your marriage will produce lively, happy children who are well behaved, older people shows a better business income and if you are enjoying the dance you will receive an unexpected windfall.
Dancing Master
If you dream you have a friend or spouse who is a dancing master denotes you will have a loyal companion for life. To watch a dancing master give instructions in your dream shows you will neglect some vital business matters.
Dandelions glowing in a sunlit meadow denotes a happy life for you with your new spouse. To see yourself eating them or drinking dandelion tea is a sign that unless you do something about it, your health will soon suffer.
Danger
If your life or body is threatened by immediate danger and you escape it means that you will take your place in business or society at a high position. If you are wounded or killed then you will show many losses in business and love.
Dark
A dream of the dark is never a good aspected omen as after such a dream you are in danger of losing control of your temper and causing yourself a lot of hardships and losses. If you dream that dark is falling while you are traveling it is an ill omen for any business you try to conduct unless the journey is finished before it gets dark. If you are lost and cannot find someone in the dark then this denotes that others will try to provoke you to anger and you must heed this warning and keep your temper at all times.
Darkness
If you dream that you are stumbling around and groping your way about in a dark room or building this is an omen that you do not have enough information about a person, place, or thing to make a clear decision. If you find the light switch, you will meet with success after acquiring understanding. A lost article will be found if you dream you were walking in the darkness.
Dates
If you dream of plump ripe dates growing on a tree you will have a happy time ahead of you for the next few days. If you pluck one of these juicy morsels and feed it to your love denotes that you will soon marry or find the perfect mate for you. Should you eat a dull looking date that has been packed for shipping this will auger poverty and need for the dreamer.
Death
For years in our family it has meant that someone in the family would soon be wed and the wedding would be beautiful. In some circles it means a birth, the opposite of death. To be unable to identify the dead person means a windfall of money for you, To talk to a dead relative is a sign of great good luck.
Deceased (dreaming about) If you should dream of a deceased person and this person speaks only to you, pay close attention to what the spirit is telling you as it could be very important to you. To dream of seeing a deceased person is normally a dream of warning, and it tells you that the influences around you at this time does not bode well for your affairs, and you should not enter into any binding contracts or verbal agreements until this phase passes.
To be depressed in a dream usually means the opposite on awaking. If you are depressed over the loss of a loved one it is telling you will soon find someone to love, the same holds true for job, etc.. To be depressed and crying, look for some bad news close to home.
Demons
Seeing demons in your dream is a warning against overindulging your baser nature and giving into your lusts, all of which have an adverse effect on your bodily health, as well as your mental health.
Devil
The devil as a symbol represents evil in all its forms. If you dreamed of the devil surrounded by instruments of punishment, or actually punishing you, then the dream is telling you that the time has come to clear your mind and your conscious of the guilty secret you are holding onto. If you successfully fought him off, then you will short circuit those who mean you ill, and if he spoke to you, you are in for great temptations which you will find hard to resist. If you and the devil were friendly, or congenial, then it is time to have a complete medical workup done.
Disappearing
If you see people or things disappearing before your very eyes, this is a dream that is pointing up your insecurities and concern about the important people, conditions, situations, or people that might disappear from your life. This an anxiety dream and shows that you need to work on you self image through building your self worth.
Dismemberment
The fear of a family breaking up, or a romantic attachment being severed, is sometimes warned of by the dream of dismemberment, which means a breaking up. If you sometimes feel your live is coming apart at the seams, then this too will occasion a dismemberment dream. As in olden mythology, when man fell apart, the Gods would put him back together again, this then is a dream of warning you to change your ways, or take charge of a situation, before it reaches the dismemberment stage.
Divorce (court)
A dream of a divorce, whether you are in a courtroom or not, is a warning that you must change your ways and learn to compromise rather then demand, or your marriage is in danger of divorce. A single life of frustration is that of a woman who dreams of a divorce because of cheating lovers. This dream can act as a warning to you that you are doing something knowingly that is pushing your partner away.
Dog
A dream of dogs is usually a fairly good omen. A dog barking happily shows that you will have a pleasing social life. A friendly, happy dog shows that you have lots of good friends. A dog barking and snarling fiercely at you shows you have some unfriendly friends, and also, if the dream dog is big and powerful, as well as friendly, shows that you have a very powerful protector.
Dolls
Dolls represent childhood to women, and ‘dolls’, represent women to men. To get the most accurate interpretation possible about a doll dream you must study the dream as a whole, but, generally speaking, the doll in your dream is a probable omen of the wish to be young again, or to meet someone exciting, (for the male). If your doll comes to life, you are expressing in your dream state the wish to be different, and blameless for your actions. This dream takes meditation for clarity.
Dolphins
Dolphins are highly intelligent mammals, and as such represents the mental attributes and accomplishments involved in the dream itself. It also denotes that the dreamer has made some giant strides upward through the use of his mental faculties, and, if the rest of the dream bears it out, a dolphin is like a pat on the dreamers back with a well done thrown in for good measure.
Doves
The symbol of peace and love herald the end of disagreements. Dreaming of white doves foretell a happy domestic life filled with peace and tranquillity. A flock of doves means that you will soon welcome home an old friend, and if you hear doves cooing, your love will be returned, but, if you hear turtle doves you will soon hear some disheartening news.
Dragonfly
If you dream that a dragonfly lands on your body then you will have excellent news from someone far away from home. If you see a dead dragonfly, then the news will be bad. A dragonfly perched gracefully on some other object shows that you will soon be having guests that may be hard to get rid of.

It is not uncommon to have more then two levels to a dream, the main reason hear is fear, and worry, over life’s circumstances. There is no interpretation for this dream as it is not a symbol, it is condition of the state of the emotions of the dreamer.
Driving
If you dream that you are driving a vehicle it is a sign that you should be careful to take no chances with your money, such as gambling, in the next two weeks or so. If someone else is doing the driving you will find yourself in luck, money wise.

Dream E

Eagle
As a dream symbol, the eagle embodies an archaic image of god, of lofty, high-soaring thoughts, but also of devouring spiritual passion.
First and foremost, the eagle symbolizes a positive spiritual situation. A sexual significance can be traced in Greek myth, where the eagle symbolizes the procreative function of Zeus, who approached the star goddess Asteria as an eagle. The image of the union of eagle and goddess symbolizes the union of two opposites – psyche and the material world. The image of an eagle which is unable to fly well signifies limitation of spiritual freedom or neglect of spiritual interests.
Eros
In Greek mythology, Eros is the god of love. His bride is psyche, the soul. He can symbolize the spiritual relationship between man and woman.
Eve
Eve with the apple is generally taken as an image of seduction. This is not so in dreams, however. Here, she indicates woman’s emotional capabilities and motherliness.
Evening
Evening indicates to the dreamer that he is about to approach the area of the unconscious. For older persons, evening in a dream can signify the ‘twilight years’
Excrement (faeces)
In primitive belief, excrement as well as saliva, urine, sweat and hair were magic substances. We must not forget that in earlier times fields were fertilized with animal and also human excrement. Excrement is thus connected in popular belief with money and wealth.
Psychoanalysis regards the image of excretion in a dream as a castration symbol. Freud was of the opinion that a child experiences excretion as a loss. He found that over emphasis on cleanliness in the upbringing of small children sows the seeds of neuroses and sexual aberrations in latter life. Experience in the field of psychotherapy has confirmed this opinion. The basic cause, however, is no longer seen as anal eroticism on the child’s part, but as the loss of affection the child experiences as a result of such an exaggeratedly strict upbringing.
Eye
The eyes are commonly held to be the mirror of the soul. The ancient Egyptians regarded the sun and moon as the eyes of the heavenly gods; fro Shakespeare, the sun was “the beauteous eye of heaven”. In a dream, the eye acquires the significance of an organ of consciousness. Impaired vision, for example, would mean that a particular problem, or the possibilities that a life holds, are not being seen correctly.
Eagles
To see young eagles in their nest shows you are advancing up the social ladder to the ‘top’. It also denotes inheritances and wise counseling. A soaring eagle tells you that you will realize your highest ambitions and desires. Kill an eagle in your dream and this shows you are ruthless and will let nothing stand in your way. To eat the flesh of an eagle shows that you will have great wealth and influence. If you see an eagle killed by someone else your fame, fortune and power will be taken from you.
Ears
To dream about ears you are being warned to guard against eavesdroppers who mean you harm. Dainty ears that are attractive denotes a person who needs to listen more and talk less. To dream of a pain in your ear means you will hear something that hurts your feeling.
Earrings

Earthquake
To be shaken by an earthquake denotes that you will have some serious business challanges. If you manage to get to safty then you will overcome these problems and keep your business up to par. Should you be injured or trapped it foretells complete loss of all your business and assets.
Earwig
If you dream that you have an earwig in your ear then will you hear bad news that affects you personally. If you see someone you are talking with get one in his or her ear this will denote that you have been less then truthful with a certain person and your lies are hurting this individual.
If a waiter should clear away the food that you are eating before you are finished this denotes business loss that will injure your finances.

Ebony (black)
Should you dream of dark ebony nights you will have much gloom in your future but if you dream of wearing ebony clothes this points to news of a grievous nature. To dream that you are furnishing your home with dark furniture shows many quarrels and domestic unrest.
Echo
Dreaming of an echo means you may have to keep repeating yourself before someone decides to trust and believe you. To dream of making an echo off a mountain top is a sign of impending illness and a loss of earning power.
Dreaming of an eclipse of the sun shows a warning that continued excesses will cause some major health problems if the dreamer does not mend his ways. An eclipse of the moon has to do with the mentalities and should only be interpreted in context with the rest of the dream; it could also be your souls way of telling you to keep your head in tense situations.
When you dream of a feeling of ecstasy this shows a period of happiness for you in the form of joy in people, either friends or family. If the dream itself is disturbing and you still feel a measure of ecstasy in it then you may feel sadness from a broken love affair.
If you dream you are in a school you will soon have the desire to better yourself with a higher education or job training of one kind or the other. To dream you are attending college shows that your desire for education will set you apart from the rest and denotes that you will have a successful life.
Eel
If you dream that you cannot hold onto a slippery eel this augers ill for your fortunes as they will slip away from you. If you dream of seeing a dead eel this shows that you will overcome all your enemies, and an eel in clear water shows excellent luck and fortune.
Eggs, in general, are an excellent omen for almost anything that concerns you or your family. If you dream that you find a nest filled with eggs you will soon see some financial gains, if the eggs are very tiny, or few, then your windfall will be small but significant, coming at a time when you need it the most. If you see broken, cracked, or otherwise damaged eggs, then you will suffer a reversal of good fortune or a disappointment. If the eggs are bright colored then you will celebrate a happy event in your family. If you are eating eggs this shows that your health will improve.
Electrocution
The word electrocution is not a stand alone and can only be interpreted through the correlation of all remembered aspects of your dream. While meditating on your dream you should place in your thoughts that electrocution in real life means an ending of life and sensibilities, and this, perhaps, could be showing you that your life will not be your own if you follow a certain path, make a certain decision, or even the fear that marriage will remove you from your ‘life’. It could also be telling you that you are in for ‘a big shock’.
Elephant
Seeing an elephant in your dream is defined more by the animals attitude and occupation. If the elephant is pleasant and friendly you will have good luck in what you are undertaking to do, and if you are riding on the beast you will have much success. If you see an elephant performing, as in a circus, you will be surrounded by happy, loving people, and if you see the elephant doing a job you will have success above your wildest dreams. Another meaning of the elephant dream has to do with whether or not you are seeking answers, or go to sleep with a particular problem on your mind, in which case the elephant denotes the key to knowledge and truth, and after sight of the elephant you will be told the answer.
Elevator
An elevator dream is a rather complex dream and you should interpret it in light of all the other symbols in your dream, for one thing, if the elevator is going up your fortunes will increase, down is the opposite. If the elevator continues to go up and down with out letting you off means you have let your emotions, or your situation, get out of control and must do something to stop it.
Enemy
To dream that you have an enemy should always be taken as opposites, as this signifies the actions of a friend. If an enemy wins out over you and you are in danger of much loss, then this is the sign that you have a good friend that will soon come to your aid in real life. If, in your dream, a friend comes to your aid and you lose out to your enemy, this will show that you have only yourself to look to for help with your real life problems.
Escape
This is an omen of good luck for many, as it is a statement that you are making good. To dream that you escape confinement from a jail, or prison, foretells that you will experience a rapid rise in your profession in the business world that surrounds you, a breaking out of the mold sort of progress. If your dream is that of escaping from a wild animal then you may have been dealing with a false friend and you need to keep alert. To escape a disaster means you will escape damage from a rumor, or a lie, that throws your character in a false light. If you do not escape, then you must accept the worst and prepare for an uphill battle, be sure you do not become your own worst enemy.
Eyes
If you injure your eyes, worry about them, or damage them in one way or the other this shows that some one is trying to get the best of you in a business deal, the same thing for dreaming that you are wearing a hood over your eyes. If you are wearing a blindfold that you put on yourself then this shows that you are the one closing your eyes to the truth of your waking situation. Floating, or disembodied eyes are a message that you will soon be having some very good luck. Exceptionally large eyes denote a lucky inheritance of money, while dark eyes bring you romance.
Dream F
Dream F
Father
Adults frequently experience their own father in a dream as a helpful figure. He reminds the dreamer of things he has taught him which are now forgotten, and embodies that aspect of the dreamer’s personality which is formed by the father. As a rule, the father is a symbol of traditional order and of that natural authority which is vitally necessary. The father appears particularly frequently in the dreams of younger people. Here, he becomes the dreamer’s opponent. With this image, the dream is broaching the question of the so-called generation gap. it is necessary , however, for young people to rebel against the guidelines established by the father in order to develop their own, independent personality. The dream is seeking to help the dreamer overcome his childish image of his father and to see him as the person he really is in real life.
Field
The image of a field can indicate to the dreamer that a fertile phase is beginning. This image can, however, also indicate that the dreamer must apply himself to a specific problem.
Fire (domestic)
The fire symbolizes the warmth of human emotions. It frequently appears in women’s dreams, where it indicates the problems of marriage. In earlier days it was, of course, the woman’s task to keep the fire burning. Interpretations should be made accordingly.
Fish
The image of fish in water in a dream can imply a sexual theme. Fish live in water, which is a straightforward symbol of the unconscious. Seen in this light, the fish indicates man’s instinctive aspects, which are governed by the unconscious.
Flame, fire
The positive, life-preserving significance of fire arises from the concept of the eternal flame of life. The appearance of devouring and destructive fire in a dream is a danger signal. The danger can relate to the dreamer’s sexual problems. We commonly speak of devouring love when we really mean dependency.
Flowers, airplane
Flowers are symbols for the dreamer’s feelings. There are proverbial parallels between human and plant life cycles growing, budding, blossoming and fading. A system of flower symbolism holds true only for certain plants like, for example, roses, lilies and cacti. A fresh-cut bouquet or a tree in blossom, as a rule, has positive significance.
Flying, airplane
Dreams of flying are extremely common. An airplane can appear positively in a dream as a conveyer of thoughts or ideas of far-reaching significance. It can equally well signify a desire for independence. Generally, however, flying is a danger signal, particularly when the dreamer flies or hovers on his own, without an airplane. This dream image shows that the dreamer’s thoughts have become divorced from the realities of life. To a certain extent, he is making things too easy for himself by “flying over” his problems.
Forest, Wood
In a dream, the forest indicates the realm of the unconscious. Experience has shown that dream events which take place in a forest or wood are archetypal patterns of the collective unconscious. Frequently, these are behavior patterns we know from fairytales and legends, as to some extent fairytales, legends and myths represent the dreams of mankind.
Fountain, spring
In myths and fairytales, fountains and springs symbolize the origin of life. Stemming from the belief that it is womankind which continually renews life by childbirth, the fountain has acquired the symbolic meaning of the fountain of life.
Frog
Men rarely dream of frogs, but more often of toads. In women’s or girl’s dreams, the frog has a similar significance to that in the well-known fairytale of the frog king by the Brothers Grimm. In this fairytale, the frog turns into a radiant prince. But this only happens after the princess, on her father the king’s orders, has given the frog food from her plate and warmed him in her bed.
The frog is an animal which lives partly on land and partly in water. It indicates a transitionary phase in the process of evolution of living things, and is in this respect a symbol of change or transformation. The frog’s life in water refers to cold and still impersonal elemental nature. The fairytale tells us allegorically that this impersonal side of nature, which also plays a role in sexuality, can only be elevated into the sphere of an acceptable human relationship by spiritual nourishment and by being firmly embedded in human emotions.
The toad is the symbol of the fertile, devouring mother goddess, who is also the mother of death. A toad in a man’s dream can, therefore, be seen as a warming signal.
Fables
Dreaming of reading or telling fables may mean you have many pleasant tasks before you or that you have a strong interest in writing. Religious fables mean you have, or will have, a deep devotional feeling toward God. To dream you are living a fable may mean that you are pretending too much and you should face the truth, or it may mean you have an inner wish to escape a situation you find uncomfortable in your daily life.
Face
To dream of seeing your own face in a mirror denotes some type of trouble ahead for you. To see happy, smiling faces show that good luck will reward your efforts. A dream of weird, leering faces is warning you of potential danger to your person, or misfortune will dog your steps.
Fagot (burning sticks)
A brightly burning pile of fagots show you will win out over all those who oppose you. If you dream of the fagots giving off a thick smoke then will your enemies get the better of you. Anothers actions will bring harm to you if you dream of walking on them, but if they do not burn you the harm will be negligible.
Failure
To dream of failure is a dream associated with fear of being inadequate and a fear of not having a winning personality. To dream of failure in a business means you are letting fear cloud all your dealings and must change this or suffer a real loss in revenue. A woman who dreams of failing in love will if she does not change some of the things she has been doing and become more self reliable.
Fainting
In a dream shows you are performing such activities or engaging in a lifestyle that is ruinous to your health. It is a warning to change while you are still able-bodied. If you see a family member faint it is a sign that you will hear of indiscreet activities on the relatives part.
Fair
If you dream of attending a fair this denotes that you will have much pleasantness in your life. To win prizes at the fair indicates a true love that will make you happy for the rest of your life. If you lose a game this means that the companion you have chosen will turn out to be the wrong one for you.
Fairy
If you should dream of a beautiful, happy fairy you will have much joy and happiness in your own life in pleasant surroundings. Should the fairy be sad, this denotes a loss of love or money, or both.
Faithless
If you dream that your lover is faithless to you this will mean that she or he will always be faithful. To dream of faithless friends show they have you in high regard. This is a dream of opposites. Whatever the context take it the other way.
Fakir
If you dream of an Indian fakir who is able to cloud the mind to show you many wonders then will you be in danger of being duped by an ingenious person known or unknown to you. To just see a fakir shows that you will have many changes in your life.
Falcon
To dream that you are hunting with a falcon shows that you are in danger of ruining your business reputation by being too aggressive and bringing harm to others. To see a falcon on the wing shows that you will become an object of jealousy.
Fall
Common symbol for lack of emotional support uncertainty about the future: We don’t know “where we are going to land.” If you dream you are falling but you are not frightened or harmed shows that you will meet with adversity but overcome it with ease. If the fall greatly frightens you then will you under go a major struggle in life. If you are injured in the fall you will lose many friends.If you dream you are falling but you are not frightened or harmed shows that you will meet with adversity but overcome it with ease. If the fall greatly frightens you then will you under go a major struggle in life. If you are injured in the fall you will lose many friends.
Fame
If you dream of famous people this portends that you will soon see an increase in your prosperity and a rise to you own place of honor. If you dream of yourself having fame and fortune then you must take the dream in reverse and expect disappointments in your field of endeavors.
Family
If you dream of a large family this means that your fortunes in life are looking up, but if the family is unhappy or bickering it will denote the opposite for you. It would mean the same if the family is an animal family. If the family is very sad expect some adverse reactions in your financial structure.
Feather
Dreaming of feathers can have as many interpretations as there are feathers, depending on their actions, their colors, the type of bird that furnished them and where they were found. Try correlating all the know factors to glean the real answer from your dream. Generally though, A dream of many feathers floating in the air denotes a mighty stroke of good luck to your finances, while ornamental feathers denote an increase in social affairs; if you brush them off, you will have many small joys.
Feet
Again, the interpretation of feet depend on the action in the dream. Generally speaking: Washing the feet denotes freedom from worry, itching feet means you will walk on new land (travel), to see a strangers feet means you will meet someone new, hurting feet denote family problems, cold feet denote a reluctance to go through with something, losing your feet shows unexpected problems, children’s feet bring small worries, large feet shows that you have good health, small feet brings many small worries.
Fence
A dream of a fence is a straight out obstacle dream and can only be used in the interpretation as action and content define. It is a symbol of being hemmed in, confined, restrained and otherwise prevented from going where one would want to go. It also a symbol of protection of property, self, and possession. A fence between you and another person could be saying to that person, “this far and no further”.
Fighting
Fighting is a no nonsense dream of change, and the dream itself will have to point to the area of your life that will be changed. This signifies a change in job, or a change of enterprise if you own your own business. The degree of change can be determined by how hard you fought, and if you won or lost the fight. If you dream of others fighting it is telling you to be more careful with your financial dealings, and watch your spending.
Fire
A fire is also a complex omen in a dream and must be interpreted in light of the actions connected with it. To see a house burning down in a dream is the warning that a close relative needs help from you desperately. If the fire burns you, you will have bad luck, if not, then you will have good luck. A small fire in the fireplace shows contentment in the dreamer, but if you stir it with a poker you will soon have a romantic adventure. If you manage to put out a destructive fire then you will overcome the obstacles in your path of life.
Fish
To see live fish in a dream is very much good luck unless the fish was carp, in which case it is a warning against subjecting yourself by your actions to criticism. A fish swimming in clear water is an omen that you will acquire personal wealth and power. but to see a dead fish as in a market is an omen of disappointment. Cooking and eating fish, except carp, indicates your present endeavors will meet with success.
Flood
If the flood was gentle and the water clear you will soon see an end to all the worries that have been plaguing you about a certain matter. but if the water was angry and muddy this denotes that you will have great trials and tribulations in life. If the water does not drown you, you will eventually win out over your adversaries. If you are swept away by the flood, then that is a warning that someone is trying to use you.
Floodlights
To dream of floodlights shows that you want to throw a lot of light on a subject and get everything out in the open where it can be seen and understood. A floodlight that burns out shows that you will be kept in the dark about certain things, but if you replace the bulb, you will uncover all the secrets.
Floor
Represents your base, your support, the thing that supports you so you can walk through your house (life), and anything you dream concerning a floor must be considered in that manner in relationship with the rest of your dream. If you are cleaning, polishing, shining, repairing, or in some manner improving your floor is an omen that foretells of success in your endeavors to gain in the business world or to improve your standard of living. A slanted floor foretells that you are deviating too far from your original plans and that is not conducive to attaining your goals
Fly (insect)
To have many annoying flys around you foretells of petty problems and quarrels with your relatives that amount to nothing more then aggravation.
Flying
Metaphor of personal power in dreams. Flying to escape a pursuer suggests confidence in one’’s ability to avoid, or outmaneuver, fears and problems in our life. Difficulty gaining elevation (we have to ““bounce”” off the ground, or fly around obstacles), suggests doubts about our ability to reach a destination. Fears of landing reflect uncertainty about the future; we don’’t know ““where we will land.”” Dreams of soaring unfettered above the Earth reflect feelings of empowerment. We are confident in our ability to “reach any destination,” and feel “on top of the world.” If you dream you are flying so high that you can actually touch the moon and stars this portends many different types of global disaster that you may soon hear of. If you fly high with black wings you are warned that you are headed for a let down of magnitude. Flying dreams are normally a good omen and if the flight is pleasant, with no worries and anxieties, you can look for happiness and plenty to follow.
Forest
If you dream that you got lost in a big forest it is an omen of financial gain, if you are poor and lost, but you will experience loss if you are affluent. A stroll through a beautiful green forest with tall trees show that you will have a period of hardship followed by release from worry and then success in your endeavors.
Forgetting
If you dream that you keep forgetting something, it is a warning that you may have forgotten something, an appointment or a date, that is important enough to your life to merit the intercession of your subconscious mind. This is serious enough to warrant your immediate attention.
Fork (in the road)
If the dreamer goes to a fork in the road and sees a big oak tree this indicates that there is an important decision that must be made which will change his or her life and should be considered with much care. If the fork in the road is just ordinary then the dreamer will have a decision to make bearing on important matters, but not necessarily a matter to change ones life.
Fork (utensil)
to dream of being stabbed with a fork or seeing someone stabbed with one is a warning to guard your statements in order not to lose status and prestige. If you see someone eating with a fork it denotes that the dreamer may be cleared of all his present worries through the intervention of a friend.
A well filled, and merrily trickling fountain is a sign of prosperity and luck. If the fountain you dream of is old, or clogged up, then you will have a few setbacks that could bring you a short period of poverty.
Friend(s)
If you dream of good friends in a congenial and happy setting then you will soon here good new of them or a close relative. If they exhibit staunch friendship for you in your dream then all your current activities will be successes. If you see them as sad or unhappy you will receive news of an illness.
Frog
If you dream of eating frogs then you will find very little to gain in current relationships and losses associated with love affairs. If you dream of catching a frog then the carelessness you exhibit concerning your health and well being will greatly distress those who care for you. If you see frogs in a low marshy area this is a sign of ill luck and losses. Seeing frogs in clean, green grass denotes the making of an even tempered friend and confidant.
Cultivated fruit, such as and orange, is a lucky omen and promises a period of growth followed by fruition (financial gain) if it is ripe. Green fruit denotes that you will work harder, and longer then others, and may not attain to the goals that you have set for yourself unless you make some changes.
Frustration
If you are dreaming of frustration it represents some things in your life that you find hard to cope with, and the frustration is coming out in your dream. Try to pinpoint the cause of your unrest by looking up all the dream symbols that you can remember and that should clear the matter up.
Dream G
Garden
In earlier times, every house had its own garden. It was a personal domain, which married couples cultivated and tilled with their own hands. A dream garden is thus an age old symbol it has the significance of growth, fertility and renewal.
Giant
The figure of the giant refers to a too-powerful father-figure. In mythology, as in fairytales, the giant symbolizes the threatening aspects of unconscious male drives or instincts. It is characteristic of these fairytales that it is never the hero who defeats the giant, but the native youngest brother. It is he who comes up with a bright idea for defeating the giant. The symbolic significance of events like this in fairytales is that in battle with monsters and giants, the intellect – however alert is often not enough. The figure of the native brother embodies that psychic function which has contact with the unconscious. This signifies that it is only in connection with intuition that the intellect can find the correct solution.
Gold
Gold is a dream symbol of great significance, a symbol of immortality. Discovering gold or being given gold can be seen as indications by the psyche that new understanding will be gained and that an expansion of consciousness will take place.
Grape
The grape was originally a religious symbol belonging to the Dionysus myth. In the Greek cult of Dionysus, he is trodden and squashed in the symbolic form of the grape. The deep symbolic meaning of wine is that of the transformation of grapes into a drink. The dream image of the grape is a positive symbol of transformation of change.

Gallows
If you see a gallows in your dream your future plans will meet with frustration. Bad luck in a sudden and inexplicable manner will befall you if you see yourself led to the gallows. A friend will betray you if you see yourself standing on the gallows. If you hang an enemy on the gallows you will be victorious.

This is the type of dream that is usually taken to mean the opposite unless you are one of the rare people who dream true. To dream of winning at games of chance portends many losses. To lose a game shows you will either win at gambling, or win at the game of love.
Game (wild animal) To dream of tracking and killing wild game denotes shrewd business dealings and a high probability of success. To dream of missing the animal shows you will have much loss and troubles with your business. If a woman dreams of hunting she will shortly find a mate, should she kill the animal she will make a happy marriage.
Gangrene
This is an evil dream that denotes bad tidings for the dreamer. To dream of seeing someone with gangrene foretells sorrow and loss, even a death of a near relative. Sometimes death is not the actual physical kind but rather the ending of a way of life. Search the dream for clues that point in that direction.
Garbage
If you dream of seeing many piles of garbage then it is an omen to change your ways before you turn all your lovely things into garbage. If you are disposing of garbage then it foretells that you will have to clean up someones reputation and the mess he or she has made of their lives.
Garden
A garden filled with fresh growing vegetables denotes that you will be prosperous only if you exercise diligence in caring for your business. If your dream garden is of flowers and fresh green trees then it foretells of a true love and a pleasant home in lovely surroundings.

Gargoyle
If you dream of the bizarre figure of a gargoyle it denotes some hidden fears you may have concerning matters known only to you that you have not shared with anyone, to rid yourself of these dreams, you must share your fears with someone who is warm and understanding. Another interpretation of this dream is, that you will soon face embarrassment over some of your own actions.

If you dream of strolling through a garlic garden then you will rise to wealth and prominence in your field.

Gas (Propane)
To dream of smelling gas and searching for its source augers ill feelings from friends or actual danger to you from a real gas leak.

Glass
Broken glass predicts a change in your life in some way, shape, or form, and it may, or may not be, beneficial for you.

Drinking from, or seeing, sparkling glassware is very good luck for the dreamer.
Goal
If you dream of being locked tight and on display in an old fashioned goal such as was once used you will find yourself hindered on every turn as you try to reach your own goal (aim) in life. If you are released and pardoned you will find your business enjoys much prosperity after a bad start.
Godzilla
Seeing the cartoonish character of godzilla in a dream is pure fantasy and has no significance as for as the dreamers life and fortunes. It is mainly for entertainment, but, if you are frightened, or happy, you could use these emotions to guide you with the rest of the dream.
If you dream of table utensils, bowls, containers, etc., made out of gold, this is an omen of financial gain and stability that is entering your life. If you dream of gold bars, ingots, jewelry, etc., this, is an omen that you are too careless with your money and will soon suffer losses if you don’t change.
Grandparents

Dream H
Dream H
Hair
Hair has wide-ranging symbolic significance. In popular belief, the white hair of old men and women is seen as a sign of wisdom. Black hair is connected with great passion, while blond hair is seen as a sigh on inconstancy. Red-haired people are considered dangerous.
Hare
In the middle Ages, the hare was a symbol for God. Three hares in a picture symbolize the Trinity, which continuously keeps watch and sees and hears everything. It is only recently that the hare has degenerated from being a symbol of fertility to being exclusively a sexual symbol.
Hearth, kitchen-range (stove)
The domestic hearth is a symbol of marriage; it is the focus for family activity. Its significance is, however, wider ranging. In the hearth, the energy of the fire transforms, so to speak, foodstuffs into all-important food for the family. (Of course nowadays its cooking function has been taken over by the electric or gas stove). The hearth thus has the significance of a symbol of transformation and of life itself. It is a serious sigh if the fire in the hearth goes out in a dream. Similar dream images appear in presentiments of death in the family.
Horse
The horse is a dream symbol of great significance. Dream research has to some extent confirmed the popular superstition that the horse is a messenger of death.
Hospital
The hospital appears as an image of spiritual illness and impoverishment. The specific departments in a hospital or clinic refer to corresponding psychic functions. Heart disease, for example, refers to emotional disorders, eye trouble refers to the failure to see a problem or a relationship with someone in its true light, a stomach ailment indicates that a situation of conflict has become ‘indigestible’ and is thus causing illness, etc.
Hotel
The dream image of a hotel refers to areas or situations which bring transition or changes with them. The hotel is not a place where people live permanently; new people are encountered there. Translated into dream language, this would mean that the people whom the dreamer meets in the hotel embody unconscious or unknown psychic influences.
House
There are medieval pictorial representations of man in the form of a house. What is meant here is the house of the soul. In a dream, the house also assumes this symbolic meaning, and the individual rooms can be interpreted correspondingly. The cellar is the realm of the unconscious. The kitchen, in which psychic nourishment is prepared, is the province of female and motherly aspects. The living room and study have exactly this significance for the psyche’s area of experience. The bedroom is the marital sexual domain and the attic has, in a dream, the meaning of an area of forgotten or suppressed memories
Haggard
To see a haggard face in your dreams denotes you will meet with defeat in your love affair or it may promise business losses. Your own face appearing haggard may mean you are in for a bout of ill health for yourself, or the ill health of a business enterprise. Your haggard face and a feeling of being tired means you should slow down and rest before illness strikes.
Hail
To hear hail beating on your roof or windows shows you will be having some trying times very soon. If you are in a hail storm all your endeavors will meet with poor results. If you see hail stones fall through the sunshine then will good fortune smile on you.
Hair
If you dream of finding a hair in a piece of butter and it does not disgust you then you will be fortunate in all your dealings. You will take a long trip if you dream of combing beautiful hair. Ruffle someones hair and you will come into money. To dream you are getting bald foretells your generosity will cause you loss and mental anguish. Seeing your hair turning gray shows death or disease in the family. If a woman dreams of comparing black and white hairs show that she will receive two offers and must choose the best one.
Hairdresser
For a woman to dream of going to a hairdresser shows she will soon be entangled in some family scandal concerning the morals of a member of her family. Should she have her hair dyed, she will narrowly escape imprisonment. For a man to dream of a hairdresser will presage much gossip or a need to dominate a beautiful woman.
Hairy Hands
If you see yourself with hairy hands this denotes that you will bear false witness against someone who is guiltless. The longer the hair the worse the lie. To see the hair fading away shows there are those who will block you from harming this person.
Hallways

Experience in the field of psychotherapy has taught that unusual machines, mechanical apparatus or an area filled with machines in a dream indicate the danger of serious psychic disturbance.
Mask
The mask is an indication that the dreamer identifies himself with a person of force which does not belong to his conscious personality. Psychologically speaking, the mask symbolizes identification with an anonymous, superhuman power. At the root of this lie delusions of grandeur; these, however, are pathological compensatins for an inferiority complex.
Meadow
In real life as in dreams, a green meadow shows that winter – indicating a standstill is over. In this way, the meadow symbolizes new growth and productive activity.
Meal
A communal meal in a dream is the image of communal activity of a ritual or magical nature. When interpreting the dream, note should be taken of the dreamer’s religious beliefs; where relevant, the significance of the Last Supper symbolism should be brought into play. The dishes which appear on the dream table can be varied and, in general, signify corresponding psychic matters or functions.
Mermaid
In popular legend and fairy tales, the mermaid is a being whose upper half is woman and whose lower half is fish. It embodies female sexuality at a cold and still elemental stage. The dream is indicating here that human warmth is lacking. In the dreams of young people, the mermaid indicates underdeveloped, immature sexuality; in adult women’s dreams it indicates frigidity.
Mirror
The image of a mirror is a warning signal. Its effects as a dream symbol are not dissimilar from those in real life. It must not be forgotten, though, that the mirror has magical effects in all fairytales. It shows the dreamer his true face. Because this reflection takes place within the unconscious, the dreamer sees, so to speak, unconscious aspects of his personality. This can be frightening, but equally necessary.
Money
Naturally, money also plays a part in dream language. Here it symbolizes psychic energy, or rather amounts of energy. The dream has a positive significance if money is found unexpectedly. Losing money, on the other hand, indicates that certain talents or potentialities in the dreamer’s life are not being exploited in reality. Money usually appears in a dream in the form of coins. If they are silver coins, then they indicate a female aspect. Correspondingly, when the dream takes place in banks or savings-banks, it indicates a zone of psychic energy or spiritual values. The saving of large amounts of money in a dream is not necessarily positive. It should be understood more as a signal that energy which is available is being retained, unused.
Morning
Morning, dawn and sunrise are indications that a new situation is about to begin. This can also refer to gaining awareness
Monkey, ape
Modern behavioral research makes use of the term ‘naked ape’ to explain primitive human reactions. The monkey, with its similarity to human beings, symbolizes to a certain extent man’s animal properties. It is an extremely positive sigh when the dream monkey has a human face. This would signify that the dreamer will become conscious of his own animality.
Mother
When men dream of their own mother, she embodies their unconscious spiritual attitudes to women, which are formed by the mother’s up bringing in early childhood. In women’s dreams, the mother correspondingly appears as an image of the dreamer’s unconscious shadow (Jung), or shadow personality. The actions of unknown mother figures in dreams are important indications which should be thought over by the dreamer.
Motorcycle
Like the car, the motorcycle is a symbol of energy. In a dream, it refers less to potency but more to the problems of keeping the animal instincts in check.
Mouse
In fairytales and in everyday speech, the mouse has erotic significance. Dream mice are a bad omen only when they appear in large numbers.
Murder
Murder murderers and victims in a dream are in no way connected with crime in real life. Nevertheless, the dream is a danger signal. It is an indication that the dreamer has, within his own consciousness, forcibly dissociated an aspect of his personality. This can refer to talents, unexploited potentialities or relationships with other people.
Mushrooms, Toadstools
In a dream, these are indications of stages of stupor or intoxication. it is known that many toadstools contain alkaloids (poisonous substances) which induce such states. Mushrooms and toadstools thus have a sexual significance; the parallel can be seen in expressions like “intoxicated with love”.
Mussels
A mussel symbolizes female sexuality. A mussel which is closed is a symbol of female chastity.
Macadamize, (blacktop)
To dream that you see a ribbon of black topped road stretching out before you means you have a great desire to travel. To actually drive on one you will be taking a trip shortly for pleasure. For the younger set it means they have many ambitions and noble aspirations as it stretches toward their chosen goals.
Macaroni
Eating macaroni in a dream could mean you are in for various small losses. Seeing it in large quantities means you are being urged to economize and save money. In general, it is a warning that your finances may take a downward spiral if you are not vigilant.
Machinery
A dream of machinery is an omen of success after adversity. If the machinery you will have to overcome some enemies to reach your goals. If you are caught or injured in the machinery then will you suffer unhappiness and loss. Well oiled machinery means you will have a smoothly running marriage and home life.
Mad dog
To see a mad dog in your dream means you will be under some sort of attack from strangers who would distroy your business. If you manage to kill the dog or escape with no injuries then this will denote that you will escape all harm at the hands of an enemy. To see someone else kill the dog means you will have a staunch supporter.
Madness (mental condition)
A dream of madness is never a fortunate sign but again this is something that must be taken in context of the entire dream. Should you dream of being mad yourself you will fall into grievous error unless you act to correct your actions. Being mad also denotes that you may suffer a loss of property through sickness. To see others suffering from this shows you have false friends and should beware.
Maggot
A maggot is a filthy, loathsome, little thing that turns into a filthy, annoying fly, and as such it is representative of someone in your life, or someone you know well, who is lazy and good for nothing, and who may be leeching off your generosity. Search the rest of your dream and you will be able to pinpoint the whole warning.
Magic (not sorcery)
To dream of magic and magicians denotes many pleasant happenings in your life and portends happiness and success. If you dream of seeing a magician you can expect some travel in the near future. To see others performing this art shows the dreamer will have many profitable changes taking place in his or her life.
Magistrate
If you dream of a magistrate this foretells trouble with law suits and other small legal matters. If the dreamer faces the magistrate in a court of law as the defendant it is likely he or she will experience a loss of freedom and rights. A woman who dreams she marries a magistrate will find herself judging between two choices in mates.
Magnet
To dream of a magnet means you will have the power to draw many things into your life according to your wishes. A woman may have much wealth and love showered on her as a result of this dream. A magnet dream is usually a good one but again you need to place it within the framework of the whole dream to learn it’s true meaning, as it could also mean that you are capable of drawing evil influences into your life unless you heed the overall warning of your dream.
Magnifying glass
If you dream you are looking at things through a magnifying glass this is a warning that you are looking at things in a wrong or distorted way and should reevaluate your problems as you may be magnifying them; making mountains out of mole hills. If the glass you are using is a help to you in your dream it means that you will soon see your material wealth increase.
Magpie
A dream of a magpie shows much vexation to your spirit from careless gossip that you have caused and this will lose you many friends. To see a dead magpie shows that careless talk can ruin, or kill, your marriage. Catching a magpie means that you will not be able to accomplish your present goals and is a warning to change them.
Malice
If you dream that someone holds malicious intent towards you this is a warning to search for a false friend, a wolf in sheep’s clothing. If you dream that you hold malice in your heart for another person this shows that you have a need to control your temper before you lose friends or loved ones. If you dream of a malicious person and the malice is not directed to you then you will receive unexpected financial help.
Mallet
If you dream of a mallet as used in a game of croquet then you will find the love of your life is willing to wed you. To see a mallet (doing nothing) shows that you will be treated badly while in ill health. To swing a mallet yourself shows domestic disharmony.
Marijuana
This substance is now considered an illegal drug and as such it should be viewed that way in your dream interpretation. As a symbol, it stands for any activity that is not within the bounds of the law. It can also denote the fact of not being able to think clearly if you dream that you are smoking it, and this could cause you much trouble and stress. As an herb, it has curative powers, and for the older generation of dreamers who still think of this as an herb, this is a warning to have your health seen to by a professional.
Marriage
Dreaming of a marriage, or a wedding, is the sign of a death in the family. If the marriage was between strangers, then the death pertains to a not too close acquaintance or friend. See Wedding for more information.
Medicine Man
To be helped be an Indian medicine man is the best kind of good luck in business omen as this shows that you can expect to receive the backing of powerful friends are backers that will assure your success and your fortune. Unfortunately if you are beyond help, this shows that your destiny is to fail unless you change into more modern ways of doing things.
Mice
To dream of mice is not a very good omen as the dreamer can expect disappointments and ill will from others if the dream centers around the mice. If you have a mouse jump on you, or get in your clothing, then you will be involved in a scandal with a friend. If you kill the mice, you will overcome all, but if they escape you, your strivings will be of doubtful significance.
If you dream of seeing milk in large containers you will have honor and riches, if your dream is of buying and selling milk commercially, you will have great business success. If you dream that you give your milk away, this denotes that you are too generous and could harm your own finances. If you spill milk, your friends will disappoint you, and if the milk is not pure, you will suffer many small aggravations. If you try to drink milk, and cannot swallow it, this denotes that you are in danger of losing the friendship of a person you have know for a long time.
Mirror
There are two schools of thought about your dreams of a mirror. One is that if you see yourself in a mirror it foretells of a terrible illness or failure, (death of a business), and the other school of thought is, to see oneself in a mirror is a sign that you will soon be facing issues within yourself that you have been subconsciously hiding from yourself. If the mirror is broken then will there be news of a death in the family.
If money is a pressing issue in our waking life (debt, unemployment, bad job) dreams of stealing or hoarding money can represent our literal anxiety. Dreams of insufficient money commonly reflect feelings of inadequacy and powerlessness. As a rule, dreams of discovering money should not be interpreted literally. Instead, dreamers should recognize the value they already have ““discovered”” in their waking lives——an exciting relationship, an intellectual pursuit, a promising business opportunity——that is paying them emotional rewards.
To see a normal moon in a normal sky resplendent with stars denotes that you will have success with love or money but if the moon is peculiar or weird then you will meet with many disappointments and a cheating spouse. If you see a moon in eclipse then you will hear of a friend with a contagious disease.
To dream of moonlight is generally a good omen. If you are standing in bright moonlight with your beloved it predicts a happy domestic life, blessed by plenty. If you are taking a stroll in the moonlight the omen here is, that you will receive a great favor, or a financial boon. If you become frightened while in the moonlight you will have many small vexing troubles but still reach your goals.
Mountains
A mountain dream is used by the subconscious mind to tell us that we have many obstacles to overcome and they will be large ones and almost insurmountable. This dream can be one of discouragement or encouragement, depending on the entire context of the dream and must be studied in that light.
Moving
Again, with moving, we have another obstacle dream, in as much as, if the move goes smoothly and is completed in normal time then you will overcome your barriers and sail through to what you desire. If the dream of moving involves a lot of difficulty, or is not completed, then you must forego changes in your environment and plan on staying in the same career for a while.
Muffins
If you dream of eating muffins it is an indication that you like the good things of life, and if you overindulge in them you are likely to care more for luxury then you should. To bake muffins is an omen that you will work hard for your money, but your enjoyment of your success will be all the more sweeter.
Murder
If you have a dream of murdering another, this is a warning that you must keep in control of your temper and emotions at all times and not get enraged to the point of murderous intent. If you are the eye witness to a murder this is also a warning, but, one that is alerting you to possible changes in your life that you will not like unless you practice self control and not expect others to order the situation for you.
If your dream of music is of soothing, beautiful, music that uplifts your spirit then you will have some wonderful luck in every matter that is of concern to you while the raucous, unpleasant type of music brings discord to all your activities.
Mutation
If you dream of seeing an ugly, mutated person or animal which frightens you, then you will soon hear some bad news concerning the family. If you see the type of mutation called morphing, when one things flows into being another thing, this is a warning that a person, or situation is not what they seem to be, ‘a wolf in sheep’s clothing’.
Dream N
Dream N
Navel As the navel of the world, this is a universal cosmic symbol. As a symbol, it embodies the center; the center of the body of mother earth. In this way, a navel in a dram often indicates a mother complex. If young women dream of navels, this frequently indicates latent lesbian tendencies.
Night When the setting in a dream is night, this signifies a spiritual area about which we are, so to speak, still in the dark.
Nudity It is only in extremely rare cases that nudity in a dream refers to an erotic situation. Nudity indicates a state of spiritual exposure.
Numbers According to the teachings of Jung, numbers were not consciously invented, but are spontaneous products of the unconscious. As such, they are archetypal symbols. Modern science expresses all aspects of living things in terms of mathematical formulas. In other words, science relates material processes to numbers. Study of dreams has shown that similar relationships exist between psychic functions anc certain numerical relationships.
Nails (Fasteners) Nails show that you will do much work with very little pay. Bright nails means you will nevertheless enjoy the work. Bent or dull nails will show sickness and disorder entering your life shortly. To drive nails shows you will complete a deal and ‘drive’ a hard bargain. If you injury yourself with a nail you should be careful of careless talk and sharp words.
Naked To dream of a naked man where only the top part is visible foretells illness to a female member of your family but if the privates are exposed then the meaning is death. It is reversed if you dream of a naked female. Remember that a death omen does not always mean the physical death of the body. Other interpretations are associated with illicit love affairs and loss of prestige coupled with scandal. Interpret this in context with the rest of your dream symbols.
Napkin To dream of a dinner napkin portends a celebration where you will be the person of honor. To dream of soiled napkins being placed on the dining table show that you have some major marital problems that may be ‘soiling’ your home life. Beautiful, intricate, designs on the napkins show that your marriage has a beautiful, spiritual, undercurrent which makes it very strong.

Nearsighted A dream of being nearsighted denotes that your energies are focused on the short term accomplishment and not on preparing for the future.

A woman who dreams she is nearsighted may be missing certain clues and signals her loved one is sending; this is a warning to pay closer attention before it is too late and she suffers the loss of this person.
Neck To admire the beautiful neck of a strange woman shows that domestic ties may soon be severed. To see your own neck in a dream is an omen that someone will interfere with your business plans. Dreaming of a thick neck shows that you are becoming very quarrelsome and quick tempered.

If you dream your loved one places a necklace around your neck or that you are wearing one, Shows an early marriage and a happy domestic life. Necromancer (one of the black arts) Dreaming of a necromancer is a very bad dream and should be meditated on along with the whole dream. Dreaming of this necromancer practicing his black arts denotes there are evil people around you that will try to influence your life and spoil your domestic bliss.
Need To see yourself in need shows that you are in danger of losing everything through speculation, This is a warning to slow down and become more conservative, or make the dream come true. To see others in need means that your state of affairs also affect others and the same warning holds true.
Needle Finding a needle in your dream shows that you worry needlessly over small matters. To thread a needle in your dream denotes good fortune in your undertaking but if you had a hard time threading it and became angry then you can expect some frustration before accomplishment.
Neighbor To dream of having a good neighbor is a good omen showing that you will enjoy your home and domestic tranquillity will reside with you. If Your neighbors appear sad in your dream then you will have to take it as opposite the above, but if they are angry and fighting you will soon be moving from your home.
Nephew If you dream of your nephew and he is of pleasing countenance this is an omen that you will soon find yourself residing in a more pleasing and congenial surroundings. If, however, his looks are gross then there will be a loss of business or possible illness for you.
Night To dream of night shows that you will encounter obstacles in reaching your goals or some serious setbacks. This kind of prognostication must be tempered by all the aspects in the dream and other things used to offset the adverse effects such as: Clear and bright moonlight, stars and celestial bodies seen clearly, and , of course, the dreamers feelings.

To sail on a calm ocean is always a good omen for all concerned.
Operation Dreams of this type will be fairly common among the medical practitioners, but among the rest of us undergoing such an operation can be a harbinger of a drastic lifestyle change, whether good or bad will be determined by the rest of the dream. To watch an operation you will soon hear some news from a family member or a friend, if the operation was a success it will be good news, but, if not it will be bad news.
Orca A whale of any sort in your dream is a sign of protection and help and if you see the flukes of his tail you will have much good luck. To dream of an orca, also known as a killer whale, shows the dreamer is not sure of the motives of his/her protector. The ‘killer’ whale then represents distrust and must be viewed in that light by the dreamer.
Owl An owl represents wisdom and in some instances, higher education. this is a symbol that must be integrated with the entire dream to determine its meaning. The sound of an owl hooting is a dream of a different kind as this sound presages disappointments and reverses, unless you chase it away.
Old Man, old wise man The dream image of a strange old man is, according to Jung, the archetypal figure of the sage. Here we have a timeless symbol of order. Dreams in which this symbol appears tell us that it is inadvisable simply to reject the acquired knowledge of generations as out-of-date and old-fashioned. The image of an old man can also be symbolic expression of inflexibility and incompatibility. Oak tree To dream of an old spreading oak means long life and prosperity. If it is filled with acorns you are due a promotion or some type of increase in your life. If a newlywed sees many oak trees in a forest it foretells a long marriage and many children.

If the obituary happens to be your own then it denotes that you have something or someone in your life that could cause you great trouble, maybe even death.
