Dream world is indeed marvellous. No one can
fathom it. Million kinds of sequences appear in the dream but still these seem
to be unending. Some of these sequences do have definite indication but most of
them are meaningless. It is not possible to interpret all the sequences that
more than six billion people of the world see in their dreams nor it is
possible to count all these sequences. Broadly, the dream sequences can be
divided into certain heads. Each of them has their own indication. All other
sequences have more or less similar indications provided that they bear
resemblance with these major sequences listed below -
1. Sighting
of great people.
2. Sighting
of temples and places of pilgrimage.
3. Sighting
of holy objects and auspicious events.
4. Sighting
of unholy objects and inauspicious events.
5. Sighting
of violent animals.
6. Sighting
of holy animals.
7. Sighting
of strange looking people.
8. Sighting
of strange events.
9. Sighting
of losing and finding something.
10.Sighting
of people dead long ago.
These are major types of sequences one
usually sees in his dreams. All the other types of sequences revolve around
these major types and hence have more or less similar effects. While going
through the current discussion, you will come to learn a great deal of things
about the omens related to the dreams. If you have a dream that augurs well, we
advise you not to sleep again after having that dream in order to have its
complete effect. Likewise, if you have an inauspicious dream, fall asleep again
to minimize its bad effects. There are many more measures to minimize the bad effects of an
inauspicious dream some of them are as follows :
Accident: Personal afflictions
may be inevitable,.
Accuse: This is a sign of
great trouble. You will acquire riches by your own personal efforts.
Adultery: Troubles are
approaching. Your prospects may be blasted. Despair will catch hold of you.

an advocate indicates that you will be prominent in future.

you are angry is your best friend.
Ass: All your great
troubles, in spite of despairing circumstances, will end in ultimate success
after much struggle and suffering.

Daughter :1. If the dreamer is pregnant, and the daughter an as-yet
unknown, this could be a sign that she is going to have a girl.
2. If you have a daughter, she is trying to communicate
something to you but may be afraid to. Other symbols in the dream could shed
light on what it is.
3. If the dreamer is neither pregnant nor the parent of a
daughter, yet in the dream she has a daughter, this could indicate that the
dreamer will start a new creative project soon. If the daughter is pretty and
happy, the project will be a success. But if the child is crying, the project will
hit a lot of snags.
4. If the girl in question is the daughter of a celebrity,
ask yourself what both the daughter and the celebrity mean to you. Look to
other symbols in the dream to add further insight.
Devil :The circumstances in the dream are very important. If you
see the Devil in his usual context - in a pit full of fire, surrounded by
demons - then you'd better ask yourself what guilty secret you're hiding and
how it applies to your present circumstances. If the Devil speaks to you and
seems friendly, then you're going to be faced with a temptation that will prove
difficult to resist. If you fight him, you'll resist that temptation. If you
see the Devil with someone you know, that person may be trying to manipulate
you to serve his own ends.
Diamonds :1.If you are alone holding diamonds in your hand, someone
you care for very deeply could be turning cold towards you, 2.If someone gives you diamonds, however, a project that
means a lot to you could bring money your way, 3.If other symbols in the dream imply happiness and
contentment, the appearance of diamonds could add wealth to the equation. But
if the rest of the dream is dark and ominous, diamonds could signify loss. When
interpreting a dream containing diamonds, it's important to remember that
diamonds, however prized and beautiful, really are nothing more than cold, hard
rocks.
Dirt : 1.Dirt in a garden is a symbol for growth, abundance, and
beauty. If you dream of planting a garden, something you're working on now
could blossom into something more successful than you're even thinking of now, 2.Dirty clothes hint that your body isn't quite what it
should be, and a medical checkup is advised, 3.If someone you know is throwing dirt at you, this person
is not to be trusted. Do NOT confide in him or her!
Dog : 1. Love, loyalty, devotion, obedience, 2. Strength; a challenge coming up and the ability to meet
it, 3. Something in the dreamer's life is proving to be a
"dog" - meaning, less than desirable.
Dolphin : Dolphins are intelligent and friendly animals, and have
often been known to rescue drowning people at sea. Therefore, they have long
been symbols of compassion, helpfulness, empathy, and caring, 1. If you're beset with troubles, dreaming of a dolphin
could mean that help from someone who cares is on the way, 2. Playing with a dolphin implies that happier, more
carefree times are on the way, 3. Encountering several dolphins hints that you are, or soon
will be, surrounded by a circle of friends who will provide you with a valuable
support system.
Door : 1. A passage to a new phase in life, such as childhood to
adolescence, or single to married, 2. A new opportunity on the way. 3. Revelation, personal, spiritual, or universal.
Driving : 1. The need or desire to throw the entire dreamer's energy
into a particular goal., 2. The feeling of having no choice as to how to proceed in a
given situation - in short, of being "driven." If the dreamer is not
the drive, he should consider who is doing it.
Drowning : 1. Feeling overwhelmed, perhaps by work, obligations, or
life itself, 2. Inundation; too many people making too many demands on
the dreamer.
Duel: 1.Friends or relatives could be trying to talk you into
something you don't want to do. Nip it in the bud before things get ugly, 2.You are torn in two different directions, and having a hard
time deciding which is the right choice.
Dwarf :Dreaming of seeing (or being) a happy and contented dwarf
strongly indicates that all your troubles will soon disappear as if by magic.
If the dwarf was mean or unhappy, however, beware of false friends. Be very
careful of who you confide in.
Dying : 1.If you dream of
dying yourself, then all your troubles will soon be over and you can start
anew. However, it could also mean that a part of you is dying and, if the other
symbols in the dream tell you that it's a part of you that you like, you'd
better find a way to resurrect it, and fast.
2.Sometimes this can be a wish-fulfillment dream, if you
dream that someone who is causing trouble for you is dying. Don't feel guilty;
this is a better way to manifest that wish than other ways!
3.Dreams in which the dreamer talks with dead people imply that
very welcome news is on its way.
Eagle : 1. If the eagle is flying free, the dreamer needs to be
prepared for an opportunity to soar above the mundane, either professionally or
spiritually, or both. 2. If the eagle is perched on a tree or in a nest,
someone close to the dreamer is looking out for her.
3. If the eagle is caged, the dreamer feels that her spirit,
her true self, is trapped in some way.
Earth :1. If you are looking down upon the Earth from space, this
is a sign of expansion, success, and great happiness, 2. A dream of lying on the earth depends on other symbols in
the dream, particularly the weather. If it is a lovely day, a much-needed
period of rest and relaxation lies ahead. If the weather is bad, an important
matter needs immediate attention and you need to get on it.
3. Tilling the earth, or watching someone till the earth,
indicates sensible and profitable use of your resources. See "Dirt".
Earthquakes : If you live in an area prone to earthquakes and are used to
them, this dream indicates minor difficulties that need to be resolved. But if
you live in a place where earthquakes are rare, this dream implies a sudden and
totally unexpected change in your circumstances - which could require some
difficult adjustments at first, but will, in the long run, end in success and
good fortune.
Elephant : In Hindu mythology, Ganesha, the
elephant-headed god, is one of the deities associated with wealth. Therefore,
unless the dreamer himself has a personal anathema towards elephants, dreaming
of an elephant is always a harbinger of great good fortune.1. If the elephant is friendly and happy, expect a change in
your luck for the better., 2. If the dreamer was riding an elephant, this indicates a
rise in social status, 3. A performing elephant augurs new friends, while a working
elephant hints at success through your own efforts, 4. Even an angry or frightened elephant, or even if they
attack you, is not all that bad an omen. It only implies delays in the attainment
of your goals.
Emigration : A need for change, and also for economy. Circumstances may
require cutting back on expenses in order to do something you really want to
do.
Enemy : 1. If you dream of a living person whom you consider to be
an adversary, you need to pay attention to the other symbols in the dream. If
they are warning symbols, this person may be actively working against you. If
they are positive, he or she may want a truce with you. : 2. Dreaming of a shadowy, ominous, perhaps unseen enemy is
calling your attention to your own shadow side. A part of you is keeping you
from attaining certain goals. To deduce what part it is, look to other symbols
in the dream. : 3. Dreaming of several enemies is a dream of contrary. It
actually implies that you are surrounded by loving and loyal friends.
Exam : An upcoming crisis in the attainment of a cherished goal. If
the dreamer fails the exam, or if he awakens before knowing whether he passed
or failed, the goal may be unfeasible at this time and should be re-examined.
If the dreamer passes the exam, then, in spite of obstacles, he has it in him
to get what he wants.
Ex-lover : 1. The ex-lover is thinking about the dreamer intensely, and
projecting telepathic messages towards her which she receives in her dreams, 2. In completions with this person that need to be resolved
within the dreamer before he is truly free to move on to a new relationship, 3. Similarities between this past relationship and
situations now in the dreamer's life. Solutions to current difficulties may be
resolved by the dreamer's remembering how he dealt with the ex-lover.
Eyes : 1. Being watched by strange, disembodied eyes
indicates unexpected good fortune to come. If the eyes are particularly
beautiful, this is a sign of success in romance and/or reassurance that you are
surrounded by people who care for you. If there is only one eye watching you,
this is the all-seeing Eye of God, and hints at success beyond your wildest
dreams, 2. To go blind, to injure your eyes, or to get
something in them is calling your attention to the fact that there is something
or someone in your life that you're not really seeing as they really are, 3. Light-colored eyes indicate a new friendship,
while dark eyes hint that someone is sexually attracted to you.
Face : A symbol dependent on the circumstances of the dream. If you
see a happy, smiling face, then pleasures and good times lie ahead. If you see
a sad or frowning face, then troubles and worries may be plaguing you, and you
have to "face" them. Dreaming of washing your face indicates the need
to "clean up" your act, while dreaming of a face with a major blemish
indicates the need to work on changing a bad habit.
Fairy : Reassurance that your dearest dreams will come true. It
doesn't matter if the fairy appeared in the form of an elf, a pixie, a
leprechaun, a garden-variety fairy, or a specific fairy like Ozma of Oz, this
is a very positive dream and portends great happiness.
Falcon : Dreaming of hunting with a falcon implies the need to seek
help in searching for something you desire. A hooded falcon indicates that
someone around you is keeping things from you. A falcon making a kill is
actually a positive omen, indicating that a long-time goal of yours will
finally be reached. See "Eagle", "Hawk".
Falling : Human beings have two ancient primal fears: fear of
falling, and fear of loud noises. Dreaming of falling often implies the fear of
losing control and resulting disaster. If the dreamer falls a great distance,
then he should start finding solutions right away, for there is danger of
severe complications. If the dreamer falls a short distance and is unhurt, the
damage will be minimal and can easily be set right.
Farm : A busy, fruitful, and prosperous farm is a sign of abundance
ahead, while a derelict, barren, and decrepit farm implies the need to work
hard to avoid a rocky financial road ahead. Seeing lots of farm animals
enjoying life reflects a coming period where you'll be meeting a lot of new
people who'll be of great assistance to you.
Father : This symbol is highly personalized, and should be considered
in light of your relationship with your father. Generally, dreaming of a father
(yours or anyone else's) represents authority, while mothers represent love and
protection. If your relationship with your father was good, dreaming of him
implies advancement and/or assistance from authority figures in your life. If
your relationship with him was strained, however, dreaming of him indicates
trouble coming from authority figures, such as your boss. If you're dreaming of
a dead parent, especially if he or she is speaking to you, important news is
coming your way. Whether the news is good or bad depends on other dynamics in the
dream.
Fear : This symbol needs to be considered in view of the dreamer's
situation at the time. If your life circumstances are calm and pleasant at the
moment, dreaming that you are afraid of something is a warning of trouble
ahead. Other symbols in the dream, and circumstances in your life, can explain
to you exactly what the trouble will be and how to resolve it. If you're
presently involved in some tense situations and you dream of being afraid,
people whom you consider to be friends may turn out to be less than that. To
dream of calming someone else's fears implies the resolving of
misunderstandings.
Feet : 1. A pun, implying issues of "under-standing."
Aching, painful, or injured feet imply a misunderstanding between you and a
loved one. Bathing the feet, however, hints at a resolution of any
disagreements, 2. Viewing many feet walking on the street indicates
financial reverses.
3. Cold feet symbolize fears and worries about a particular
course of action which the dreamer may have been planning to take - as in the
metaphor "getting cold feet." Other symbols in the dream should
reveal whether the dreamer's fears are warranted or not.
Fence : An obstacle dream. The nature of the obstacle depends on the
dreamer's circumstances, as well as on other symbols in the dream. If the scene
on the other side of the fence is beautiful and peaceful, hope lies ahead, and
if the dreamer gets over the fence, what he wants will indeed manifest in spite
of obstacles. If the land on the other side of the fence is barren and rocky,
and/or the dreamer is having trouble climbing the fence, what you're seeking
may not be what it seems and it might be best to turn back. Sitting on a fence
indicates a major decision to be made.
Fight : 1. If you are fighting with an unknown figure, whether it's
an argument or an out-and-out fistfight, or if you're participating in a
free-for-all, this is a loud and clear message that major changes are on the
way. Considering the dreamer's circumstances as well as other symbols in the
dream will reveal the nature of the change, and/or what the dreamer needs to do
in order to face it, 2. Standing on the sidelines and watching other people fight
indicates that the troubles of others may spill over into your life, 3. A dream of war indicates an inner battle. The dreamer
needs to look within and see what it is that's keeping them from getting
anywhere. Other symbols in the dream might help.
Finger : 1. To point a finger or see someone else pointing is calling
your attention to whatever other symbol in the dream the finger is indicating.
If you view the symbol in question as a positive one, then good fortune lies
ahead - soon. If you view the symbol as a negative image, then caution is called
for in any business, financial or romantic matters. If the finger points at a
specific person whom you know, that person - or someone who reminds you of that
person - is not to be trusted, and any dealings with him or her call for a
great deal of caution, 2. A cut, broken, or bandaged finger is a dream of contrary,
indicating significant successes after a great deal of effort, 3. If you are aware that the finger is of a left hand, you
are being warned that any shady sort of dealings, whether business, financial
or romantic, will not go the way you hope, and could have upsetting
consequences.
Fish : If you dream of a fish - all
good, even if the fish was a greatly feared one like the shark. If there is a
possibility of a pregnancy, dreaming of a fish could mean that a child is on
the way, and the pregnancy and birth will be uneventful and result in a healthy
baby. If the dreamer is in love but is not yet sure about the beloved's
feelings, dreaming of a fish strongly indicates that the feelings are indeed
reciprocated. Dreaming of catching fish, either with a pole or with a net,
indicates success and prosperity ahead. Seeing fish swimming in a clear pool
indicates that a number of secrets about yourself and the world around you are
going to suddenly become clearer.
Fire : 1. Energy; drive. The dreamer needs to prepare herself for
an increased level of stress and activity, 2. If the dreamer is burned, trouble lies ahead. Look to
other symbols in the dream as to how to prepare for it and resolve it, 3. If the dreamer avoids being burned, a sticky situation
will be quickly resolved, 4. A roaring bonfire or a welcome blaze in a fireplace
signifies good news, security, a period of hope after a stint of difficulties.
Fireworks : 1. Watching fireworks burst into a rain of light in the sky
is an omen of great good fortune ahead, particularly in romance, 2. If someone throws a firecracker at you, this is a sign of
trouble, probably because of someone else. But if the firecracker turns out to
be a dud, that person will not succeed, 3. Sparklers and Roman candles are portents of an increased
social life and good times ahead.
Flood : 1.Water is a universal symbol for emotion, and thus a dream
of a flood indicates that a plethora of deep feelings is coming the dreamer's
way. If the flood is warm, gentle and comforting, the feelings will be
positive, and possibly could involve romance. But if the flood is dark, cold,
and overwhelming, be prepared for emotional turmoil, 2. Being swept away by a flood warns that someone of the
opposite sex whom you trust may be trying to use you, 3. Escaping from the flood, especially if you continue to
reach high ground, indicates overcoming a great difficulty.
Flowers : Always a positive symbol. Joy and happiness, and perhaps
a whole new life, lie ahead for the dreamer.
Fly : 1. Dreaming of flying high in the air and looking down on
your usual surroundings is a very common dream, and most often implies a
widening and broadening of your vision. It is also an omen of happiness,
exhilaration, and good fortune. Whether these benefits will come easily or with
great effort depends on the circumstances of the dream, particularly the
weather.
2. Dreaming of a fly, that is, the insect, represents a
minor obstacle that must be overcome - in short, the proverbial "fly in
the ointment." An annoying fly that keeps buzzing around your head is a
signal that the obstacle, however miniscule it might be, will not go away on
its own and requires immediate attention.
Flying
1. The dreamer's basic ambition, drive, goals, and dreams.
If the dreamer is flying like a bird, then he can accomplish his goals almost
on his own. If the dreamer is flying in an airplane, or other sort of airship,
he will need assistance. If the weather around him is turbulent, the path to
success will be rocky and strewn with obstacles. If it is clear, the path ahead
should be straightforward and easily traveled. If others are flying with him,
he needs to gather the support of others in order to attain his goal, 2. A harbinger of a happy time in the dreamer's life - as if
she is "flying high."
Fruit : 1. Dreaming of ripe, appealing fruit in your dream is a very
positive omen, and can symbolize several things: success and prosperity (the
fruits of your labor); a pregnancy (fruit of the womb) or a heightened period
of creativity (the fruits of your imagination.), 2. If the fruit is sour, rotten, or spoiled, however, it is
a sign that something you're striving for is going to turn bad - and it's best
if you stop work on it right now, figure out what's wrong with it, and move on
only once the problem is resolved.
Fog : An obstacle dream, dependent on other circumstances in the
dream for exact interpretation. A fog at sea indicates blockages in emotional
situations, such as romance. A fog on land indicates setbacks with regard to
business or financial progress. If the fog clears away during the dream, then
the blockages will let up and therefore there's no need to lose heart. If it thickens,
however, perhaps you'd better rethink the situation.
Forest : As with all dreams of Earth's bounty, a forest basically is
a happy omen if the dream shows the sun shining through the trees and a clear
path ahead. Even a forest fire indicates positive progress. But if the dreamer
felt alone and frightened, this means that his or her own feelings could get in
the way of prosperity and success. If he or she felt lost, this implies a need
to get a better grasp on one's own financial circumstances in order to better
them. Other symbols in the dream can yield more information.
Fuel/Gasoline : A dream of buying or selling gasoline is a sign of
prosperity ahead, but there may be a few bumps in the road before you get what
you want. Running out of gasoline is a dream of contrary, implying a rush of
energy and inspiration in whatever activity means the most to you. If you're
not sure what that is, look to other symbols in the dream.
Fur : A dream of fur on a live animal signifies love, warmth, and
happiness. See the entries relating to each individual animal for more details.
Wearing a new, well-tailored fur coat indicates financial success, while a
shabby, worn-out fur coat indicates financial reversals.
