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.

In my dream Zohran Mamdani pulled up to my house (I live in Minnesota) and said “darn girl you live like this” and then cleaned my house.
In my dream, I was passing by and there were a few people. I greeted them and was about to walk past when a boy among them rushed towards me and told me, “Aunty, that thing is a snake.” I said no, but I hugged and thanked him. Suddenly, it started moving with many babies that started swallowing dead chicks. I continued walking, but the snake heard my vibration and turned, and started chasing me. Out of fear, I started running to hide before I woke up in the real world.

Last night I had a dream that I was leaving my residence. As I took one step outside the world was black and white, the vast field in front of me covered in a thick fog. There was a man in the field taking long strides walking with purpose. He was very tall, muscular, had red clothing and a red hood that covered his dreads a bit.

I had a really weird dream that has stuck with me for a few nights. A friend of mine (who I didn’t know in real life but in my dream was implied as a friend) was being out on trial. For the first time in a while I believed in God and began to pray with her. When she was sentenced to death I watched it happen brutally. Soon me, my brother, and father were put on trial. We were officially deemed “unworthy.” We were then forced to participate in a pre execution ritual that I am unable to share… Read more »

I had a dream earlier today during a nap about my crush, and had a strong feeling to interpret it. I moved seats, there were cats at the window, two of them.

More cats came scratching at the window, they didn’t like me until they got into the classroom, scratching me in the process of falling into the classroom. When the tux and a white… Read more »
I’ve had dreams of pulling worms out of my body before, twice as far as I can remember, first from my chest, and the second from my mouth. But this website has helped with understanding those dreams. There is however a particularly weird dream I’ve had recently about snails that this doesn’t seem to have a proper explanation on this website. One of the things I vividly remember was that there were a lot of snails. And I mean a lot, and they were huge, their shells were the size of your fists, some bigger some smaller. Their shells seem… Read more »
What did the pulling of worms from your body represent
https://www.dreamdictionary.org/meaning/dreaming-of-worms/ This part of the website explains that pulling worms out of my body implies a sort of “letting go” of negative things that have been growing or dwelling inside of me. But it’s most likely that there’s still way more since in one of the dreams, after pulling two worms out of my chest, I asked my sister if there is any more weird pimples on my body and she pointed to my abdomen, and there it was. More pimples that are potentially worms inside. And I’m pretty sure there was some on my back as well. Another one… Read more »

In my dream I’m in what appears to be rows of old cars and it’s like maze. I’m following my boyfriend who’s ahead of me quite a way, and I start calling his name and he doesn’t stop. When I think I catch up to him, he’s not there and he’s going around another corner of cars away from me.
I had the strangest dream this morning, I had visitors at my house. It wasnt my current house though, similar to a previous house but the surrounding area was different.
