The Interpretation Of Dream Symbols

Sometimes confusing and disconnected objects in dreams can be difficult to interpret. Only in the world of dreams can you find a dragon, a glass of wine and a huge comb in the same night. All these strange things can be difficult to understand. Knowing what your dreams mean can be the first step in using your dreams to solve problems with your waking life. However, it is important to know what some of these symbols actually mean. As with any interpretation of dreams, what a particular symbol really means depends on its context within the dream, as well as the particular experiences of the dreamer. The following list is intended as a guide only, not a complete guide to dream symbology.

Building
A building is usually a symbol for the dreamer’s physical body.

Cave
The cave is a representation of a hiding place, and it indicates that you are hiding from certain things in your life. Dreaming out of the cave can be a symbol of the emergence of new life or a symbol of creativity.

Driver
Dreaming that you are a driver can indicate that you are in control of your life and your future.

Falling
Dreams of falling can be manifestations of feelings of failure or of low self esteem. Falling can also indicate the dreamer is overwhelmed or feels out of control.

Gold
Dreaming of gold can indicate a desire for wealth, or a desire to be the best.

Head
The head is often used in dreams as a symbol of wisdom and knowledge.

Interview
If you dream of being interviewed, it means you feel judged by yourself or other people. If you dream of being a visitor, you can decide. This implies that you think you should reconsider the decision that someone else made. The emotions encountered in the dream are a good indication that you passed or failed the interview.

Knot
Dreaming of a knot implies restriction on your freedom, actions or feelings. In other cases, the knot indicates a sense of control.

Lightning
Seeing lightning in a dream can be symbolic of a sudden awareness or spiritual breakthrough.

Missing articles
Missing an article in a dream can be an expression of being out of control or not being an important piece of information. Dreams of missing a train, bus or plane can be a symbol of missing an important occasion in your life. Missed reservations or missing items can also indicate the need to be more organized in your waking life.

Naked
Dreams about being naked can indicate fear of being exposed, or fears that others will find about things you have been hiding.

Paralysis
Paralyzed dreams symbolize feelings of helplessness on the part of the dreamer or have difficulty controlling certain situations in their lives. Dreamers may sometimes misinterpret the normal muscle relaxation that occurs during dream sleep for paralysis.

Quarrel
Dreams of a quarrel or argument can be manifestations of an inner conflict, or of feelings of being burdened by authority figures.

Rooms
In dreams, the subconscious mind is often divided into different rooms, and each room represents a different part of the psyche. Opening or walking through a door in your dream can be a symbol of a willingness to face things you have kept hidden away.

Tree
Often, a dreamed of tree is a symbol of spirit, of knowledge or of power. The size of the tree, and its health and condition, can be indications of the perceived strength of the dreamer’s spiritual life or knowledge.

Umbrella
Dreaming of an open umbrella can symbolize a desire to be protected from emotional turmoil, while a closed umbrella can mean you are not afraid of such strong emotions.

Vegetables
Dreaming of vegetables can indicate a subconscious desire to feed the spirit or the soul.

War
Dreams of war can indicate that a more aggressive approach to certain aspects of your life is needed.

Weather
The state of weather in the dream can be an indication of the emotional health of the dreamer. Rain in a dream can indicate sadness or depression, while sunshine in a dream can mean you are happy and content.

X-Ray
Dreaming about having an x-ray can symbolize an unconscious desire on the part of the dreamer to show his or her true self.
