SYMBOLS & MYSTERIOUS MEANINGS

 Dreams are like letters from the unconscious mind.  We do have the ability to study our dreams and interpret the common dream symbols they contain.  Although there is no hard- and-fast rulebook of universal definitions, the following dream meanings offer a sound starting point for most people to create their own personal dream meanings.  Although there is no hard- and-fast rulebook of universal definitions, the following dream meanings offer a sound starting point for most people to create their own personal dream meanings.

BEING CHASED:  Feeling threatened, so reflect on who's chasing you (they may be symbolic) and why they're a possible threat in real life.

FALLING:  relates to our anxieties about letting go, losing control, or somehow failing after a success.

FOOD:  knowledge, because it nourishes the body just as information nourishes the brain. However, it could just be food.

DEVIL:  signify repressed emotions. You may secretly feel the need to change your behaviors for the better.

HAIR:  significant ties with sexuality, according to Freud. Abundant hair may symbolize virility, while cutting hair off in a dream shows a loss of libido. Hair loss may also express a literal fear of going bald.

HOUSE:  building as a whole represents your inner psyche. Each room or floor can symbolize different emotions, memories and interpretations of meaningful events.

NUDITY:  revealing your true self to others. You may feel vulnerable and exposed to others. Showing off your nudity may suggest sexual urges or a desire for recognition.

TEETH:  Dreaming of losing your teeth may mark a fear of getting old and being unattractive to others.

BEING TRAPPED:  reflecting your real life inability to escape or make the right choice.

PEOPLE (other dream characters)  are reflections of your own psyche, and may demonstrate specific aspects of your own personality.

KILLING:  it represents your desire to "kill" part of your own personality. It can also symbolize hostility towards a particular person.

DEATH of a friend or someone:  represents change (endings and new beginnings) and is not a psychic prediction of any kind. If you are recently bereaved, it may be an attempt to come to terms with the event.

ANIMALS:  represent the part of your psyche that feels connected to nature and survival. Being chased by a predator suggests you're holding back repressed emotions like fear or aggression.
