Dreams have caused a lot of confusion and bewildered human beings ever since the times of earlier civilizations. Dreams were once believed to only be interpreted by people who had special influence and powers in primeval civilizations because the symbols where said to be supernatural, holy and divine messages from a higher power. Fast forward now to the 21 century and you will see an vast improvement when it comes to interpreting dreams thanks to a famous psychiatrist called Carl Gustav Jung who changed the way we dream forever.

Carl Jung Dream Quote
“The dream is the small hidden door in the deepest and most intimate sanctum of the soul, which opens to that primeval cosmic night that was soul long before there was conscious ego and will be soul far beyond what a conscious ego could ever reach’.
Why Interpret your dreams? Why not! What do you have to lose other than to gain inner perspective within yourself. Don’t ignore or be afraid to challenge whats locked away deep in your unconscious mind, understanding and knowing it can be very rewarding.
Dream symbols come in all shapes, colors and feeling, some scare us, and others make us feel like we got a taste of heaven. Dream and the symbols in them have been around since the beginning of time and will keep occurring as long as humans will be in existence so there must be a reason on why we get them.
Take away your blinders and start paying attention to the little detail you may have overlooked in your dreams and see what you might come up with. Whenever our body is infected by a virus or a bacteria, the rising level of fever is a natural process. No conscious decision is needed to re-establish the body’s balance.
The same system works in our psyche. In times when we are out of balance with our natural pattern of life, our subconscious sends us dreams and visions that are created by our inner self. Dream Interpretation is not as easy as opening up a dictionary and having your dream symbols answered right in front of your eyes.
All symbols are unique to the dreamer and some symbols might mean something to one but different to another. This is why we recommend you start writing down your dreams in a dream journal and remembering the events, people and emotional feelings you have during this time.
Dream symbols come across as metaphors via the unconscious and its up to you to have an open mind and puzzle together the symbols you just received in your dream.
In order to interpret your dream symbol you must recognize that all dream symbols are not the same for every individual. A train to one dreamer might mean a totally different representation to another.

Dream Interpretations A – Z
Thousands of dreams and symbols interpreted from our very interactive forum to our A – Z dictionary. They usually include very common images that are close in meaning with interpretations to the puns that the mind plays. Although dream dictionaries are generally not regarded within the psychology community as scientifically viable, the dictionaries have provided a lot of help in interpreting our dreams even by most psychologists.
The art of dream interpretation has been considered part of science distinctively in psychology since the 19th century. There were dream symbols from the days that dreaming was not considered scientific which is why dream interpretations vary in different cultures. This lead to the investigation of forms, expressions, symbols and images involved in dreaming. The thing is the mind surprisingly remembers every single image and tends to jumble words and images together.
The dictionary offers translations by the dream analysts. It was first started by Sigmund Freud who unraveled a lot of the mysteries involved with dreaming. He developed the dream dictionary so that people could look for the images found in their dreams in order to relate it to their waking life situations.

Most Common Dreams:
Dreams have fascinated people since the beginning of time; yet we are still trying to come up with its true purpose. Dream symbols are enigmatic in nature depending the culture background, religion and personal experiences.
A snake for example might come across as an enemy for some, however in many different cultures the snake might be a representation of energy rising. If you notice the snake eating its tail brings your attention to the uroborus; the symbol of personal transformation.
Strange Occurrence During Sleep:
If you thought your dreams where strange, it gets a bit stranger. Common hallucinations called sleep paralysis happen just before we walk up or just falling right to sleep. These strange feelings are classified under Hypnopompic hallucinations (HPHs) are visual and auditory (e.g., feeling someone or something present in the room; witch on your back; being unable to breath, seeing flashes; hearing voices being called) Believe it or not they are quite normal and happens to many people.
Outer Body Experiences are another strange phenomenon in which a person seems to perceive the world from a location outside their physical body. The sensation might be equivalent standing right beside an airplane ready for take off, shaking or noticing flashes as they are ready to depart.
Sleepwalking falls under another strange category of dreaming that is characterized by a complex action behavior (walking) during sleep. Occasionally, the person may talk, but it does not make sense.
Commonly known as exploding head syndrome phenomenon which consists of a loud bang just before you fall asleep and upon waking. This strange occurrence happens to at least 14% of the population that feels like a violent explosion that has erupted in your head.
Hollywood Popular Dream Movies
Hollywood has glamorized dreams as a main premise for movies. Many others directors use dreams to bring omens to come in the near future. The movie Exorcist used a dream sequence to signify future events. We used this dream and dissected all the symbolism in Father Karris dream.
Psychic or Precognition Dreams:
Once you learn the forgotten language of dreaming and its symbols you will notice a very strange sequence of patterns. Having an open mind helps bring the outside world closer to the inside world; synchronicity and other meaningful events will start to occur. You may dream of dead relatives sending you love from beyond; or they give you hints of people with malicious intent out to get you.
Dream Journal/Remembering Your Dreams:
People who say they dont remember their dreams do not try hard enough to remember them. You lose up to 90% of dream recall the first minute you wake up. Like going to the gym to get bigger you need to strengthen your muscle. This same concept applies to dreaming; however you need to strengthen your dream memory muscle. You will notice the more you practice the more contents and symbols you will remember. There are many benefits to remembering your dreams as it acts as a guide moving you towards wholeness.

According to Carl Jung’s analytic psychology, the shadow archetype represents “the dark side” of your personality. Stored in the unconscious lives your repressed ideas, idiosyncrasies, instincts and weaknesses. The shadow molds out of our attempts to adapt and to be accepted into the world we live in, once you go head to head with the shadow it becomes weak – it will no longer possess you. The shadow appears in your dreams in many different forms bringing light despite how scary it is for you to fix this issue.

I dreamt I was stuck inside an experimental facility where they were giving me memory erasing drugs. Kept trying to escape but there was always another door. Finally made it outside only to realize that it was just another part inside the facility and that I could not get out. Woke up screaming for help.
For two nights straight I keep dreaming of a deep red octopus. It is beautiful. It’s a good octopus but it is dying and I don’t know what to do to help it. I feel so sad in my dream and wake up sad about it. I love sea life. I just cannot figure out what it means.
This dream happened tonight at 3:00am. I kept having to stop a baby named Carter from chewing on his newborn brother’s toes. Carter was between 1 and 2 years old. I had to physically stop him twice. Everyone else thought it was cute!
I don’t remember a whole lot, but I was on a boat out at sea. It was at night and telepathically, I was told to go out to the dock and stand on the railing (it was raining and stormy out) and so, I did but I distinctly remember I was sleepwalking in my dream and not sleepwalking in reality. The telepathic conversation continued and urged me told to come in (into the water). I said no I will drown, but whoever was communicating to me I will be safe and can breathe under water. So, I trusted my intuition… Read more »

As we were walking up the hall I told her how I was feeling and told her that I had tried to kill myself 4 times that day because of her being with the other girl. I then told her… Read more »
This is a dream of contrary. In general it means your fears are not founded. Your friend is loyal to you. However, you yourself have some insecurity regarding her or more likely yourself. Do some internal work to see why that is and where the fear or insecurity came from. I don’t know you personally but this type of dream could be warning you that you may be pushing your friend away unconsciously. Look into this first.
I had a dream that I was swimming in my local swimming pool- it was a beautiful day, and the pool was packed. I saw familiar faces, old friends and exes.. it didn’t feel awkward, but I swam by everyone with ease. I remember I felt like I was moving through the water almost like a snake would. That’s when my recently passed father walks in— we make instant eye contact and he smiles at me. I swim to the edge of the pool at his feet and he sits down in an old wooden chair. The room changes to… Read more »
There’s a building with multiple floors. I’m walking each floor with someone and we come to this one floor where people are cleaning. We both see that there’s food still packaged and we make our lunch an continue about our day. We did this repeatedly for days and we noticed the food never got cooked or ate so the food kept multiplying. Every single one of the cabinets and drawers were filled with food each one with the same food from the previous day unopened, uncooked, and overflowing their spaces available like lockers or cubbies, shelves, and what not. We… Read more »
Hopefully someone can help. Since I was little I’ve had “premonitions” normally it’s just a sense of dread like something bad is going to happen. And it always has. I can’t tell you when, who, where, why, or how. I can’t tell just tell something is going to happen…. Fast forward to today April22nd2026, right before I fell asleep I heard a steady thud, it did not change tempo, but stayed steady throughout the dream. I was in some house I’ve never been to before. And the house was full of furniture I’ve never seen, but the people inside it… Read more »
I was in an office kneeling around some boxes organizing some papers. I was in uniform and had my boots on the ground next to me. I was on steps outside a building, resembling the chapel steps, and was retrieving mail. The mailbox folded in on itself and I was trying to fix it because the flag was up. I wanted to be sure the letter got pick-up. I was riding in the bed of a pickup truck with Chaplain. The truck was driving backwards down a grassy hill. It was a smooth ride. I was in my uniform still… Read more »
A small group of people and myself went to clear an old house. I told everyone to watch their step because of possible snakes. After throwing some stuff outside I went to gathering pictures to keep. Then I was carrying my granddaughter and set her down and asked my deceased parents if they could watch her so I could get back to the house. I started running towards the house. My feet digging into the dirty leaving my toe prints as I ran. That’s when I encountered a group of 5 dogs. They all acted aggressively but one attacked me.… Read more »
I find this one interesting. Lots of family and possibly the stress you may place on yourself for future generations. Maybe the parents of your grandchild are not living in a way that you 100% agree with. You want to help them clean up things that you know lead to unnecessary suffering but you are completely helpless in the matter because they aren’t open to counsel.
I dreamed that I opened a door to enter but as I was entering, I became trapped by spider webs and was bit by spiders
The last dream I had put me at my grandparents’ house. In said dream, I was visiting and was up late talking with my grandma and another person, when I spotted a large, black centipede-like creature with a whip-like tail crawl out of nowhere on the wall. I pointed it out and the creature launched itself toward the couch my grandma and I were at, and the three of us just began to jump and try to run away, this thing was quick moving. But it just kept coming after and trying to lunge at us, though mostly me. Note:… Read more »

I had two dreams this morning. One was my oldest son riding a tricycle behind a big vehicle too close and I was trying to catch up to him but woke up. The second one was my sister in the hospital in a wheel chair with her foot all bandaged from surgery when they push her by me in a room with my foot up because I had surgery on my foot too!
Two dreams and I woke without saving my son. He’s 53 years old now.
