So the lack of air can show a struggle to survive in the present situation.Air also is often used as the medium through which you fly in dreams.In these dreams,the air probable represents the invisible social atmosphere in which we unconsciously exist and strive. Therefore,occasionally a dream shows the dreamer losing the air or wind out of their sails that sustains their flight, suggesting a loss of support usually gained from public acceptance or approval. or even their own confidence.When we talk about 'clearing the atmosphere' or say that there is 'something in the air' this is precisely what dreams of air can describe

Anchor: When an anchor appear in a dream, it can generally be taken to mean the necessity to remain stable in emotional situations.We need to catch hold of a concept or idea which will give us a point of reference in difficult situations.Psychologically, we need encouragement to develop the ability to 'hold fast' during a period of instability.If we can ride out the storm, we shall survive.Whne an anchor is being dragged during a dream, the external forces are too great for us.We are in the process of achieving hope of a future tranquility

Angel / Religious / Imagery: Dreaming of angels indicates we are searching for a parental figure which gives unconditional love and support,or that we need to develop these qualities ourselves.We may be trying to introduce religious concepts into our lives.The relationship with the mother or mother figure needs to be looked at as a seperate entity to both her and the dreamer.The angel is the personification of that relationship.Nowadays with a greater acceptance of the apprearance of angelic figures, they are once again accepted as messengers of God - heavenly powers and enlightment

Anger: Anger in a dream can often represent other passionate emotions.We are struggling with the right to express that which is distressing us.We probably are unable to express emotion appropriately in waking life, but can do so in dreams.We can give ourselves permission to feel passion, which could be sexual or otherwise.Often the way we express emotion in dreams can give us information as to appropriate behaviour in everyday life.We are suffering divine displeasure

Animals: When animals appear in a dream,they usually represent an aspect of the personality which cannot be properly understood except on an instinctive level

Animal being Killed: May destroy the energy derived from the instincts.Taming or harnessing the animal shows the efforts made to control the dreamers instincts and, if possible, make them productive and useful

Animals Parts / the limbs,eyes,mouth etc: These have the same significance as parts of the human body.If 4 legs are particularly emphasized - possibly in contrast with a three-legged animal - the whole rounded personality with all four functions of the mind fully developed is being highlighted

Animal Transformation: In dreams,the metamorphosis of the dreamer or other people into animals and vice-versa shows the potential for changes within any situation

Animal with Cub: This will represent motherly qualities and therefore the mother

Antlers / Horns: The deer is a noble animal so the interpretation differs if the antlers are mounted as in a trophy or as seen on the animal.If the latter then the interpretation is that of something which is supernormal, and may represent intellectual powers.If the former,then antlers may be interpreted as attempting to achieve high status.Supernatural powers,Fertility and Nobleness of Spirit are represented by antlers

Ape / Monkey: To dream of apes or monkeys links with the mischievous side of ourselves.We all have within us the ability to mimic or to copy and to dream of apes,may alert us to this ability.The ape suggests the Trickster,the mischievous side of evil.Swinging through the dream landscape bring humiliation or illness to a dear one.If the ape is clinging to a tree beware, for you hav a false friend who is about to cause ill-feeling in your farrily or extended family circle

Appetite: When an appetite is particularly noticeable in a dream, it usually represents a desire which is unfulfilled.This will not necessarily be a physical desire,but could be emotioinal or spiritual.To be hungry or thirsty in a dream,can indicate lust and sexual desire.Or it can signify a lust for life and a spiritual yearning

Apple / Food / Fruit: In dreams this can represent fruitfulness,love and temptation.Eating an apple,indicates the wish to be trying to take in information or knowledge.The apple has connections with Eve's temptation of Adam.Apple blossom is a Chinese symbol of peace and beauty.Spiritually an apple suggests a new beginning and a freshness of approach.Walking through apple trees - orchards,have been seen as suggesting a time of good harvest,which today mean success in business.If there are many fallen apples and you inadvertently walk upon them,that promise is compromised.Some suggest that if you dream of eating a sweet apple you are due for an unspecified happy event.A sour apple suggests exactly the opposite.To dream of an apple tree means that good news is about to drop through the letter box,but only if the tree is alive and flourishing.If it's dead,then beware the postman's tread,for bad tidings are in his bag

Apron: This can represent a badge of office or family ties.It depends on the gender of the dreamer and the content of the dream whether this image is negative or positive.If worn by the dreamer,this may indicate the need for skill.If worn by someone else,that part of the dreamer which is represented by the other person may need protecting.As in Freemasonry this suggests craftmanship and sacrificial regalia.It tells a female dreamer that the plans she has laid for the future will go helter-skelter but to stick with them,for they eventually will come to fruitation.To a male dreamer wearing an apron suggests that a great deal of diplomatic skill is giong to be neeeded to extricate themselves from a potentially embarrasssing situation.If someone else is weariang an apron then that person may soon be looking to the dreamer for protection.To an unmarried woman aprons were thought to signify that she would meet and eventually marrry a wealthy man, but for the marriage to be successful, she would have to use all her skills and wiles to keep him.To a married woman,the appearance of an apron promised that her children would be a source of immense pride once they had completed their education and embarked on their careers

Arenas: Signify that the dreamer must face the fact that a decision has to be made that will involve a move into a new,specially created environment,perhaps an employer is so impressed with him or her that a new position has been impressed with him or her that a new position has been envisaged specifically with the dreamer in mind.There can also be an expression of an awareness that some sort of conflict that has been lingering in the background for some time should be brought out

Arms / Body / Weapons: We use arms in all sorts of different ways, and in dreams it is often significant to note what is actually taking place.We may be defending ourselves,fighting,being held or acknowledging.Arms as in Weapons - are used to protect and defend.There were quite a series of rituals to do with the Page becoming the Knight and making the transit from the arms-bearer to the user.The arms signifies Surrender,Wisdom or Action

Ashes: In a dream ashes often indicate penitence and sorrow.We are aware that we have been over anxious and stupid within a situation,and that there is little left to be done.That situation has outlived its usefulness.After an event or person has gone we may dream of a fire that has burned out,leaving ashes.These are what remains of our experience which will enable us to make the best of the situation.A memory or a learned wisdom needs to be retained in order for us to use information.These are purification and death.The perishable human body and mortality

Attack: Being attacked in a dream indicates a fear of being under threat from external events or internal emotions.Unknown impulses or ideas force the dreamer into taking a defensive attitude.If your are being attacked by animals an /or sexuality inwards,we have fear of our own natural urges.If you are attacked,you need to defend yourself by positive self-expression - he is making attempts to destroy some urges or feeling in himself or other.There is a Spiritual or Psychic threat

For young people to see themselves strolling along line after line of gravestones is thought to signify that their friends would be a great sournce of comfort to them in times of sorrow which are, sadly unavoidable.For old people, if burial places feature in their dreams, then especially pleasant journeys lie ahead at the end of which you will be perfectly rested an invigorated.Dreaming of young children picking flowers from a graveyard was traditionally regarded as a sign that the winds of prosperity were about to blow in the drearer's direction

Computers: This is new on the dream landscape, but there is a growing consensus that computers indicate that the dreamer is slowly coming round to the idea that he/she has untapped resources that could add to material and spiritual wellbeing.They may also suggest that every experience we have ever gone through since the moment we were born, has been stored and is there to be rediscovered and evaluated

Cooking: Can tell the dreamer that they have a hunger that is demanding to be satisfied,not necessarily a physical hunger,perhaps an emotional one or a craving to make use of opportunities that have presented themselves but that have been sidelined for the time being.To seee oneslef as cooking can be the subconsious's way of telling the dreamer to take such opportunities out of the shunting yard and get them back on the rails before it's too late.To be preparing food can also be the mind's way of telling the dreamer that he/she has all the ingredients for success and that if only the right recipe is found, the future can be faced with increased confidence

Lovers dreaming of dead bodies is thought to be a sure sign, that promises made will turn out to be promies broken.If the corpse is an animal rather than human, then the dreamer's health is under threat - not necessarily physical, but perhaps spiritual or financial health- and the dreamer should turn his/her attentiion

Coughing: This serves as a warnng to take a little more care than usual regarding health matters.Even if illness does make itself felt,it won't last for long and you will soon be back on your feet.If you hear someone else cough -you may be about to change environment and not necessarily for the better.If the couagh is more of a bronchial wheeze,then sickness of somone close to you may be about to make you change your plans.If it is a consumptive rasping for breath,stick to the safety of old friends no matter how tempting it may be to seek the pleasures that new friends may offer

Death: To dream of seeing a member of the family dead, is a warning that the dreamer's increasingly dissolute way of life is being talked about among relations and friends.Such dreams are often followed by disappointment of some sort.If in the dream,the death is heard about rather than seen, then bad news is on its way.Dying is a warning that someone who gave the dreamer a leg up in business or career matters is about to change position and start to plot to bring about the dreamer's downfall.To see others die in a dream portends bad luck either to the dreamer or to a friend or realtive.Dreaming of imminent death,says that it's time the dreamer realized that paying attention to detail would pay dividends-if the warning is ignored,the results coud be disasterous.Dreams that death is just around the corner can also herald a bout of ill health.The only mildly good thing about dreams of death is if the dead or dying are animals rather than human - for to dream of the last moment of a wild animal, says that the dreamer will escape being involved in some sort of evil.If the doomed beast is a pet-then dreamer beware! Bad luck beckons-not very bad luck,but bad luck all the same.Some believe that it depends on the reaction of the dreamer to the death in his/her dream. If he/she is unmoved then the dream should not be considered typical,Rather it symbolizes a wish that the dreamer want something to end, not someone to die

Deer / Reindeer: The deer and the reindeer herd have a strict hierarchical structure.You therefore recognize your place in the world.The deer also symbolizes pride and nobility

Deformed Animals: You are realizing that some of your impulses are offensive,or revolting

E

Eating an Animal: The dream could be about 'demons' one creates which can only be overcome by assimilating them in a constructive way

Eclipse (Solar & Lunar): Are indicative that the dreamer holds deep-rooted fears about the direction life is taking and is concerned that success may always be elusive. Colleagues and friends, the dreamer thinks seem to have achieved some degree of importance because they give an impression of being more able than he is, something that prevents him from showing his true potential.Eclipses also often feature in dreams at times when the dreamer is putting a brave face on things and feels that this may not be possible for much longer. Interpreters of the past thought that to dream of an exclipse served as a warning that the dreamer should mend his ways and curb his excesses, if his health was not to suffer.A lunar eclipse said that if the dreamer could keep his head when all around were losing theirs, he would be unaffected by an oncoming unpleasantness

Eggs: Are thought to be symbolic of teh dreamer's awareness that there are huge reserves of potential that have still to be tapped. They aslo say that before he/she can enjoy life to the full,part of which can only be achieved if that potential is fully realized, planning will be all-important.And as part of this planning progress, the dreamer may have to withdraw, monk-like, into the cell of his own mind for a while and emerge, butterfly-like as a new being.Interpreters of old believed that to dream of a nest of eggs was a sign that financial gains were in view.If the eggs were small, the windfall would be similarly tiny, but would come at a time of great need and would still be seen as a blessing. If the eggs were cracked, the good fortune would drift out of the dreamer's life to be replaced by disappointment. Bright, shiny eggs heralded a happy event in the family

Elephant: To see an elephant in a dream is to recognize the qualities of patience,long memory,strength and fidelity.In the more esoteric sense it signifies radiant and glowing wisdom

F

Fainting: Is a warning that illness may be aboaut to hit your family or that you may receive bad news about somone you haven't heard from for some time.If the dreamer is a woman,and she sees herself falling into a deep faint,then she should mend her ways.Her carelessness might well be about to be the cause of a deep disappointment.Fainting in a dream can also indicate that someone you trust is about to let you down

Falling: Very similar to the typical Flying Dream,but with some differences in its interpretation.The dream may be caused by the fact that as someone drifts off into sleep,they may lose awareness that they are in bed and feel unsupported,hence they dream of falling.Could be a sexual dream of fear,but in women it may have its origin in a deep-rooted fear of being seen as immoral.Gypsies believe that the dream forewarns of loss and of being crossed in love.Or it may point to losing a sweetheart or to sailors-it can warn of shipwreck

Farms: Are amongst the oldest dreams recorded. Farms used to have a surface meaning of productivity and growth, making new friends and of generally prospering. But nowadays dreaming of farms,suggests harking back to the past and certainly not of prosperity in the future

Fencing: To see oneself with foil, sabre or epee in hands - is an indication that the dreamer is ambitious to raise his social standing to new levels.But what you want and what you get may not be the same thing

Figs: To dream of eating figs,suggests that the clouds of ill-fortune may be looming.They may bring loss of actual fortune or they may bring shame with them.If the dream is dreamt when the fruit is not in season, then the clouds may be black-funeral black in fact

Films: Seen in dreams can be quite spooky - a bit like watching a play within a play.The dreamer is aware that something belonging to the past needs to be taken off the shelf,dusted down and reinterpreted if he is to really come to terms with its effects on his life.

Flowers: Flowers are symbolic of beauty,love & tenderness.A blossoming flower is symbolic of female genitalia, a bud of the male sexual organ.Interpretations involve romance,but this if far too easy.Wild flowers provide the best omens,often suggesting impending sexual encounters.If these don't happen,they still suggest only pleasant adventures.If the flowers dreamed of are in season,joy may be about to flood into the dreamer's life,unless the flowers are white in which case the joy may be short lived or yellow-which presages difficulties of some sort - or red,in which case death may be about to shroud a loved one

Flutes: Bring pleasant note to dreamers of either sex.For a man,flute music suggests that old friends who have been off the social scene for some time are about to reappear,maybe flying in agter a long absence abroad.The sweet sound of the flute also tells him that a business venture will bear more fruit than expected.A woman who dreams tht she is playing the flute may be about to meet a man whose manners are so delightful that he will win her heart

Flying / Gliding /Hovering /Rising: Could point to the Spirit's desire to break free from the body.Romany folk believe that flying is a fortunate thing to dream of.Or it can denote that you will escape many difficulties and angers.If you dream that you are trying to fly very high,you will aspire to a position you will never reach and for which you are not qualified.Wingless flight above the ground,means some sort of fear and danger, while to fly over the rooftops heralds trouble and rebellion of some sort.Freud believed that the dream has its origins in the childhood desire to shake off the shackles of convention and restraint,which is why the dream is invariable accompanied by a delightful sense of freedom

Football: To dream of football is to suggest that the dreamer is living with his head in the clouds when,if he is to do anything with his life,he should make sure his feet are planted firmly on the ground

Fox: A fox in a dream tells of hypocrisy,cunning and slyness

Frog: A period or act of transformation.There is something repugnant which is turning into something of value.Also see snake - all reptiles have the same signaificance

Funerals: If the person being buried is known to the dreamer, it can warn of an unhappy marriage.If not then the interment denotes that unexpected worries are about to descend.According to Gypsy belief - if a woman sees herself as dressed in balck and following a funeral cortege,then her fears of early widowhood will come true.If parents of either sex see themselves attending the funeral of one or other of their children, a friend with good intentions will raise hopes high-only to dash them on the rocks of disappointment shortly afterwards.On a deeper level, to dream of being at a funeral is thought to be and indication that the time has come to bury memories of some sad or disappointing event and move on.And to dream of one''s own funeral suggests that the dreamer feels that he deserves sympathy for something and is disappointed that it is not forthcoming.And before the subject is buried,to dream of one's paren's death is an indication that the dreamer feels that it is time to assert his or her independance and to say goodbye to childish things and accept the responsibilities of adulthood

G

Garbage: Indicates that it is time for the dreamer to give life a good sping clean.Memories of experiences that hvae been holding us back should be discarded so that we can move on.Those from which we can learn, should be taken offf the shelf, dusted down and re-examined for the potential they still hold.Garbage,especially -the sort for pig swill ,can be the body's way of telling us that we should take them out to make sure that we are doing everything we can to maintain our health.To dispose of garbage,could mean that you may be concerned that you will be asked to defend someone whose reputation has become tainted by the the mess he is making of his life

Goat: To dream of a goat is to recognize creative energy and masculine vitality.It may also represent the dark side of human nature,promiscuousness and sexuallity.Riding a Goat: Is to be trying to come to terms with your relationship with the dark side of your nature.The goat may also represent the Devil / Satan.It is also the Zodiac sign of Capricorn

Grass: It features in our dreams as often as it features in the landscape of our lives.To see oneself walking through a grassy meadow points to burgeoning happiness and good fortune.If the dreamer is eating grass,there may be sickness and sorrow ahead.Misfortune of some kind is indicated if the grass dreamed of is dead or withered

Guitars: Simply seen being played have dual meanings.It can mean that friends are about to flock around the dreamer and bring much merriment into his life.Or to dreamers who are unattached romatically, they can mean that Cupid's arrow is about to hit carrying everlasting love in its dart.But if the dreamer is a young woman and the guitar has broken strings,then her love life is about to take a turn for the worse

Gymnastics: Suggest that the dreamer is over ambitious and - that in the competition to take the gold medal for life-achievement, he will be lucky if he makes it past the qualifying heats

H

Hail: When heard drumming on the roof is a warning that something distressing is about to hit.If the dreamer sees himself being caught in a hailstorm,the success will always be within reach,but never actually grasped. But if the sun breaks through before the hail goes off,then that success will come to hand.For a woman to dream this, tells her after many disappointments true love will be hers

Hare: The hare highlights intuition,spiritual insight and intuitive 'leaps'.Intuition may be debased into madness by fear of ignorance.Because of its association with the moon,the hare can,in its negative aspects,signify the Priestess/Witch aspect of femininity or the Priest/Sorcerer of the masculine.In its positive imagery however it is the radiant hare (often holding its baby in a cave) and thus the Mother of God

Hawthorn Tree: These trees used to be a common feature of the rural landscape and denote constancy in one's life

Hedges: Were seen by Freud as a sign that the dreamer has a deep-rooted fear of sex, but to other interpreters, a thick green hedge was a sign that long-lasting prospertiy was in the offering. If the hedge is scraggy and thorny,then the way ahead is fraught with danger and difficulty

Herbs: Herbs such as Rosemary/Thyme/Sage & Parsley- all have long literary allusions.However in the dream world they tend to be bunched together.They can indicate a long life or a long journey.To dream of a poisonous herb,such as henbane or hemlock denotes danger down the path, but herbs which are used to beneficial purpose are usually regarded as a good sign

Hedgehog: The hedgehog can represent evil and bad manners, or literally our inability to handle a 'prickly' situaltion

Helpful Animals: The subconcious is producing helpful images from its depths.The figures of animals are an easy way for the dreamer to accept that help

Holly: With its luminous green leaves and bright red berries is a portent of good things to come,but as suggested by the thorny leaves,there may be some difficulties in achieving them

Horns: Hearing horns - herald good news already winging its way to the dreamer,but if the dream features a broken horn,then far from presating good news,there is a serious accident,maybe a fatal one,waiting to happen!!! If the dreamer is a woman whose affections are engaged and she sees herself blowing a horn,then her feelings are stronger than her lover's

Horse / Mare: The horse in a dream represents the energy of the dreamer's disposal.White horse - depicts the spiritual awareness of the dreamer.A Brown horse - the more pragmatic and down-to-earth side.The black horse - is the passionate side of the dreamers nature.A pale horse - is taken to indicate death.A winged horse depicts the soul ability to transcend the earthly plane.A dying horse or under strain - there is a severe weakening of the dynamic power that carries the dreamer forward.Too much pressure may be being experienced in our lives.If the horse is being harnessed to a cart - the dreamer may be concentrating too hard on thoroughly utilitarian objectives.A mare - will denote the Anima,a woman, or the realm of the feminine.In a woman's dream, being kicked by a horse,may indicate the Animus or her relationship with a man.A horse than can get through any door and batter down all obstacles - is the collective Shadow, those aspects of the personality which most people attempt to suppress.The horse as a beast or burden - is often the Mother,or Mother Archetype.In modern dreams,the car has largely taken over from the horse as a symbol with many of the same associations

Horseracing: When it features in dreams-the colour of the horse is considered more important than the actual activity.If the dreamer sees himself astride a white horse, then tremendously good news is in the offering.A man who sees himself atop a bay mare may have a nice relationship with a nice woman,but the flames of passion will soon die.To be seen riding a black horse is and indication,for a woman-that her partner is being unfaithful.Jockeys suggest that a surprise windfall is on the cards

Hospitals: This is good news for the dreamer, but not so good for those he/she knows.When the dreamer see themselves as being patients in hospital,then there may well be an epidemic of some sort about to sweep the country.The dreamer will not be affected by it, the people she/he knows wil not be so lucky.To visit friends or family in hospital - is an indication that sad news about an absent friend will soon be heard.To be seen leaving a hospital,having been confined there,suggests that the dreamer will be worried by the escapades of enemies,but that he/she will gain the upper hand and send them packing licking their wounds

Hunting: Suggests that no matter how hard you try,what you really want out of life,whether in matters material or spiritual,will never be achieved.If the dream concerns game hunting-obstacles put in your path can be successfully cleared and your goals reached.If the dream concerns hounds rather than horses-and if the dreamer is a woman,then she will marry beneath her.If they feature in a male dream,then the dreamer may marry a woman of ill repute

Huntress with Dogs: You are making a connection with one of the feminine archetypes,that of the Amazon

Hurt Young Animal: The dreamer may percieve a difficulty in becoming mature or facing life

Hyena: Is generally taken in dreams to signify impurity,instability and deviousness

Hyacinth: The delightful blooms that lend their heady fragrance to our lives, lend sweet things to our dreams,too,telling us that riches are about to waft in our direction

I

Ice: Suggests that his or her partner is seeing the dreamer as increasingly cold,physically and emotionally.It can also point to a loss of libido,in male dreams.To see ice floating on water, warns that ill-natured and envious friends will cause you unhappiness.Eating ice is a warning of on-coming ill health.While drinking ice water is a signal to eat and drink less.If the warning goes unheeded the illness is more or less guaranteed.If the dreamer seess himself diving into icy water,then an expected happening will mar an outing that is being anticipated with some happiness.Or the sleeper has kicked the duvet from the bed and is freezing.Icicles in a young woman's dream predict that marriage is on the cards and that the man proposing marriage will be older than the dreamer an wealthier.If the icicles are falling from trees,a current difficulty will soon disapear.Hanging from trees they signify ill health waiting in the wings.If they are hanging from the eaves of houses, things may start to get a bit tight

Ice-skating: Warns of a loss of some sort-maybe something the dreamer treassures, but more likely to be loss of a job.If the ice breaks,then the dreamer is being warned to look outside his usual circle of friends for advice,for those to whom he usually looks for counsel,could well let him down.If the skates are seen on their own,the the dreamer should be warned that petty squabbles,particularly amoung business acquaintances,could be about to muddy the waters

Itches: If it is the dreamer who is affected,warn that you will stand accused of something of which you are innocent,but you will have some difficulty proving it.For a woman to dream that she is itching,suggests that she has not chosen her companions wisely and she is in danger of being tempted to fall into dissolute ways.To see someone else itches-suggests that plans you were laying for a pleasant purpose will go awry

Ivy: Is one of the most prolific and persistent plants.If observing it in a dream,suggests personal growth,business success and long life.There can also be a dark side.If you are entangled with ivy,personal relationships are endangered and you may find yourself entangled with someone you simply cannot shake off.Think positive !

Javelins: Say that the dreamer's reputation is about to be pierced in some way that will result in his dirty laundry being washed in public before his reputation for honesty and fidelity is restored.To see someone carrrying a javelin,means that the dreamer's interests are under threat.To see oneself pierced by a javelin,means that someone is out to get you and will succeed

Jesters: Signify that the dreamer has his priorities all wrong and that if things are not to go totally askew,it's time to stop chasing the elusive butterfly of frivolity and turn attention to more serious matters

Jungles: Heavy or undergrowth and being lost in them-feature in many recurring dreams.It seems obvious to think that entanglement with tendrils and branches suggests battling against the odds,personal & financial.Breaking through is also a metaphor for breaking free from some restraints,perhaps seeking new work experience

K

Kangaroo: This animal being somewhat exotic,often stands for motherhood,and also strength

Kites: This recall the happy,carefree,irresponsible days of childhood.To dream of them is to acknowledge a need for spiritual freedom.They can also suggest that deep down the dreamer sees himself as something of a popinjay - and that there is a fear that someone will see through the bluster and reveal to all the shallow creature that lies beneath the facade.To dream of making a kite suggests that the dreamer will speculate a little in the hope of making a lot and that all the 'littles' will soon start to mount to the gambler's disadvantage

Knots: Present as many problems to the dream interpreter as they do to those who have to unravel them in real life. A common interpretation is that the simpler the knot, the greater the urgency to take a new direction in seeking the solution to a problem.And the more complicated it is,then the stronger the dreamer's feeling that it is only a sense of duty or even guilt that is keeping him or her bound to a certain situation.The way of it is to loosen the ties,but the dream suggests a reluctance to do so.On a superficial level knots suggest that what appear to be trifling affairs are going to cause disporportionate problems and to dream of tying a knot is indicative of the dreamer's independent natuare and a stubborn refusal to give in to the nagging of an equally obstinate spouse or friend.Knots can suggest that the dreamer is facing what is seen as an insoluble problem

L

Ladder: Often feature in the dream of those who are in the throes of changing jobs.Hardly suprising when one thinks of the connections between the one- the dreamer climbing the career ladder,ladders are used to move from one location to another and the dreamer is doing likewise.In this context they confirm that the dreamer believes that he is making the right move at the right time as long as he is carrying the ladder and it is in perfect condition.If the rungs are broken,the transition may be difficult,and if someone else has the ladder,then the progress may depend on the help of colleagues.Ladders can also acknowledge that the time is right to make a move towards a more spiritual life.Interpretations from days gone by include that to see oneself falling from a ladder is a sign that present endeavours will be unsuccessful and that if someone is steadying a ladder up which the dreamer is climbing, then the heights of the career ladder will be easily achieved

Lamb: The lamb is the innocent side of man's nature.It is said that evil cannot withstand such innocence

Leaves: Green leaves presage growth,which equals good health,prosperity and a prospective vigorous love life.Brown leaves,perhaps walking through a carpet of them,mean just the opposite almost to the point of death.Walking through a rain of falling leaves can be positive as it suggests that you should stop wasting parts of your life,personal or business

Lemons / Limes: A healthy lemon tree with lots of fruits and rich foliage equals jealousy,usually misplaced.Eating lemons suggests eatiang one's words,or some other humiliation.In Middle Eastern culture to dream of dried lemons,means divorce or seperation.Green lemons,not that commmon north of the Mediterranean,also bode ill. Limes are much the same as lemons.They are not good news.If you are ill,you are not going to get uch better in the near future

Leopard:The leopard represents cruelty and aggression,and traditionally the deviousness of wrongly used power

Lettuce: In any of its many varieties,it has been connected with embarrassment which turns out well,providing you see it growing.Eating it is a different matter,it can engender jealousy and envy.Sowing lettuce,denotes early sickness and death.Buying lettuce,suggests you will be the architect of your own downfall.Avoid lettuce

Lightning: That strikes an object close to the dreamer causing them to feel the shock is a warning that your name is on the tongues of malicious gossip-mongers.It also means that good fortune about to hit a friend will have an adverse affect on the dreamer.To be struck by lightning means that something terriblelis about to happen in business or love affrairs.But if the lightning flashes above the dreamer's head,happiness and a windfall of some sort are coming the dreamer's way

Lilies: Elegant symbols of chastity,purity and innocence,suggest that happiness will soon bloom in the dreamer's life and that this happiness will be achieved through virtue.To dream of the Lily of the Valley tells that to achieve happiness he/she should act with humility.Water lilies foretell that regeneration in some form is in the offing.Lotus lily herald a new birth and a long life,while Tiger lilies warn the dreamer that temptation of some sort,probable wealth will be put in his path

Medicine: This depends on how the medicine in your dream tastes. If it is sweet-then there's trouble in store,but the dreamer will survive and grow in stature as a result.If the medicine tastes foul,then serious illness threatens,or if it doesn't materialize,the alternative is just as worrying-sorrow and loss/deep sorrow and significant loss.For the dreamer to administer medicine is a sign that someone who trusts you is abuut to be disappointed in you

Melons: If the dreamers is sick,then the fruit is a happpy symbol,suggesting that good health will soon be restored

Memorials: Can serve as recognition that the dreamer feels a deep-rooted but unspoken,perhaps unknlwledged, nostalgia for a time in life which was much happier that at present.They are also,perhaps the subconscious's way of taking the reader back to an unpleasant memory that is indelibly imprinted on the dreamer's mind.If this is the case, the dreamer is being told to come to terms wiht it andt o leave it behind if it is not to surface as a ball and chian that will prevent full potential being realized

Mistletoe: Sacred to Pagans,Druids and followers of New Age ways of life and under sprigs of which revelers kiss at Christmas - blesses dreamers with good fortune and promise of ongoing good health

Moon: The moon has since time immemorial,been seen as representtive of the feminine and emotional side of the psyche - which is why it is often referred to as Lady Moon.When she lights up your dreams,she is telling men and women alike that the time is ripe to pay more attention to emotional thinking than cool logic.It may be that male dreamers who see the Moon are, deep down afraid of women - the dream tells them not to be.To the female dreamer,the Moon suggests that she should draw strength from the sorority of other women.According to the Gypsies,to see the Moon in an exceptionally starry sky is a sign of great material success,but to see it in anything other than full glory is a sign that disappointment is on the cards,especially where the behaviour of a spouse is concerned

Moss: Like moss clings to rocks on which it spreads,it suggests that wealth will spread in the dreamer's directon and that it will cling to him or her

Serpent / Snake: The serpent is a universal symbol which can be male or female or it can be self-created.It can signify death or destruction or conversely life and also rejuvenation.It is the instinctive nature and is also potential energy.When the power of the instinctive nature is understood and harnessed the dreamer comes to terms with his or her own sexuality and sensuality and is able to make use of the higher and more spiritual energies which become available.In a man's dream - as snake my appear if he has not understood the feminine or intuitive part of himself,or when he doubts his own masculinity.In a womans dream - the snake may manifest if she is afraid of sex,or sometimes of her own ability to seduce others.Because of its connection with the Garden of Eden,the serpent is the symbol of duplicity and trickery and also of temptation

Sex: Dreams of sex allow the mature human to explore aspects of sex that were suppressed at childhood and to enjoy them.It is only when we awaken that guilt re-establishes itself.So sex in dreams is the subsconscious's way of balancing this guilt with the natural need for sexual self-expression. Pre-nineteenth-century dream interpreters took a simpler view.To them to dream of having good, pleasurable sex was a sign that persona relationships not just sexual ones, were a source of great joy to the dreamer and that their was no reason to worry that they may ever be anything else.To dream of watching others having sex on the other hand,suggested that the dreamer was unable to find fulfilment in his or her relationships- sexual or social.To dream of having sex and finding it a burden rather that a pleasure,signified that the dreamer was thinking about getting involved in a business undertaking but was concerned tht if he did,the consequences may be unfortunate to say the least

Sheep: The sheep is renowned for its flock instinct,and it is this interpretation which is most usually accepted in dreams.The helplessness of the sheep when off-balance is also another aspect which is recognizable,as is the apparent lack of intelligence.The god-fearing 'good sheep' and also the passive and 'sheepish' may have relevance within the context of the dream.To dream of sheep and wolves or sheep and goats - is to register the confilict between good and evil

Singing: Says that good new is wafting, or is about to waft its way towards the dreamer,unless the song is a doleful one,in which case then things might be about to take a turn for the worse.If it's a bass voice,then the dreamer would do well to keep an eye on business matters,for an employee could be taking advantage of a laissez-affaire attitude.For those in love,a deep singing voice warns that tarrifs and quarrels could be about to become more common.A duet says that bad news about an absent friend is about to be received,but that will bring a little light relief.hoir music presages that the cobwebs of gloom are about to be blown away,unless the dreamer is a woman,in which case her lover might be about to be tempted by the attractions of not just one but everal other women

Snake: / Serpent: Snake dreams occur-like serpent dreams - when the dreamer is attempting to come to terms with his or her more instinctive self.Inevitably,this has to do with the recognition and harnessing of energies which have been supressed and thwarted.Since the most primeval urge is sexuality,the image of the snake is the most primitive one available.A Snake Twined around the Body or Limb - Indicates some form of bondage,possibly being enslaved to the passions.A Snake or Worm leaving a Corpse by its mouth - This can sometimes represent the sexual act - but can also signify the dreamer's control of his or her libido.A Snake in the Grass - This image denotes disloyalty,trickery and evil.With its Tail in its Mouth - This image is one of the oldest available to man and signifies completion and the union of the Spiritual and Physical.Being Swallowed by a snake - This shows the need and ability to return to the ultimate,and lose our sense of space and time.Because snakes are such a low form of life,while also being in some cases poisonous,they have become associated with death,and all that man fears.Snakes twined around staff or similar - The unconscious forces that are released once the dreamer reconciles the opposing sides of himself create healing,rebirth, and renewal,and this is universally represented as two snakes entwined round a central staff.It is a symbolic representation of the basic form of DNA,the building blocks of life.The Colour Snake - may give additional insight into the meaning of the dream
