Feet
Again, the interpretation of feet depend on the action in the dream. Generally
speaking: Washing the feet denotes freedom from worry, itching feet means
you will walk on new land (travel), to see a strangers feet means you will
meet someone new, hurting feet denote family problems, cold feet denote a
reluctance to go through with something, losing your feet shows unexpected
problems, children's feet bring small worries, large feet shows that you have
good health, small feet brings many small worries.
Fence
A dream of a fence is a straight out obstacle dream and can only be used in
the interpretation as action and content define. It is a symbol of being
hemmed in, confined, restrained and otherwise prevented from going where
one would want to go. It also a symbol of protection of property, self, and
possession. A fence between you and another person could be saying to that
person, "this far and no further".
Fighting
Fighting is a no nonsense dream of change, and the dream itself will have to
point to the area of your life that will be changed. This signifies a change in
job, or a change of enterprise if you own your own business. The degree of
change can be determined by how hard you fought, and if you won or lost
the fight. If you dream of others fighting it is telling you to be more careful
with your financial dealings, and watch your spending.
Fire
Fire represents traits of physical strength, force, courage, desire, initiative, fertility, passion, purification and rejuvenation. It represents both light and heat. A positive fire person is strong, courageous and bold, dramatic and passionate in all areas within ourselves. How much control you have over the fire in your dreams can indicate how much control we have in life. What is burning in your dream. This can show you what your fears are in waking life. Fire can be warm and comforting or dangerous and unpredictable. Fire that is under your control in a dream can show you how empowered you are. Tiny flames, as from a candle can indicate spiritual progress. The flame of a candle acts as a "self object". A self object is an object that is a reflection of our self, a reflection upon which we can act. The candle reflects the spiritual and ethical changes we would like to bring about in ourselves. It burns as a reminder and symbol of our desires. Sometimes we have to hand our dreams over to a force more powerful than we are. 1. The spark of a flame or fire can indicate the spark of your creativity. Light is illuminating, especially controlled light. 2. Smoke is a by-product of fire and in a dream can mean that we are being distracted or can't see our way clearly. It can also become suffocating. This can be trying to bring to your attention how you are being suffocated in a relationship or overwhelmed at work. 3. A fire is also a complex omen in a dream and must be interpreted in light of
the actions connected with it. To see a house burning down in a dream is the
warning that a close relative needs help from you desperately. If the fire
burns you, you will have bad luck, if not, then you will have good luck. A
small fire in the fireplace shows contentment in the dreamer, but if you stir
it with a poker you will soon have a romantic adventure. If you manage to
put out a destructive fire then you will overcome the obstacles in your path
of life.
Fish
To see live fish in a dream is very much good luck unless the fish was carp,
in which case it is a warning against subjecting yourself by your actions to
criticism. A fish swimming in clear water is an omen that you will acquire
personal wealth and power. but to see a dead fish as in a market is an omen
of disappointment. Cooking and eating fish, except carp, indicates your
present endeavors will meet with success.
Flood
If the flood was gentle and the water clear you will soon see an end to all the
worries that have been plaguing you about a certain matter. but if the water
was angry and muddy this denotes that you will have great trials and
tribulations in life. If the water does not drown you, you will eventually win
out over your adversaries. If you are swept away by the flood, then that is a
warning that someone is trying to use you.
Floodlights
To dream of floodlights shows that you want to throw a lot of light on a
subject and get everything out in the open where it can be seen and
understood. A floodlight that burns out shows that you will be kept in the
dark about certain things, but if you replace the bulb, you will uncover all
the secrets.
Floating
If you have ever floated in water, you can remember the feeling of letting go. Destressing or lossing track of time and the space around you. If you are floating in water in your dream, it often represents a escapism, either from a negative or uncertain situation that you are in, yet it also shows that you are keeping your composure and staying strong in your situation as you learn how to handle your emotions associated with the situation. To dream of seeing an object floating in water represents some area of your life that can't fail despite negativity or uncertainty. This is an aspect of your personality that is always reliable. It is your possibilities, ideas, or action that are always there for you to depend on.
When dreaming of seeing a boat floating on water, this represents navigating uncertainty or negative situations you are steering clear of. It could also be your attempt to confront these issues.
floating in the air represents the freedom to do what you want, while doing nothing at all. This is your freedom in standby or hovering mode. "Floating through life".
If you dream of an object floating by, this may represent ideas or possibilities that are creative resources at the ready.
Floor
Represents your base, your support, the thing that supports you so you can
walk through your house (life), and anything you dream concerning a floor
must be considered in that manner in relationship with the rest of your
dream. If you are cleaning, polishing, shining, repairing, or in some manner
improving your floor is an omen that foretells of success in your endeavors
to gain in the business world or to improve your standard of living. A slanted
floor foretells that you are deviating too far from your original plans and that
is not conducive to attaining your goals.
Flower
Dreaming of a single flower or a group of flowers can represent a single, special person in your life or if you are given the single flower, you are seen as special and unique. A group of flowers recieved can represent an abundance of good luck. Giving a bouquet of flowers represent your security in yourself and the power in the selfless act of giving. Flowers are often associated with pleasures, beauty, giving, receiving, and relaxation.

destination. Fears of landing reflect uncertainty about the future; we don't
know "where we will land." Dreams of soaring unfettered above the Earth

any destination, and feel on top of the world. If you dream you are flying so high that you can actually touch the moon

misfortune you must try to avert.

is more a state, or condition of, a situation, rather then a dream symbol or
action. Legal matters, and all things to do with the law, should be viewed in
a warning context unless the rest of the dream tells you different.
Levitation
A dream where you are being levitated off your feet and up into the air is the
way your dream sometimes upbraids you about certain actions you are
doing, or certain strong emotions you are expressing, in your waking hours.
This dream is a definite play on words and it is telling you to: keep your feet
on the ground: don't get carried away: don't fly off the handle: get back down
to earth. This is a good dream to listen to.
Library

dream featuring a library may be showing you that you need to learn all you
can about a certain thing or situation before becoming involved, and if you

resist the real force that is driving you to self destruction; if the lion
overpowers you, you will lose, but, if win out over the lion you will be the
victor. As the lion usually represents different aspects of our own inner
nature either as we are, or as we think ourselves to be, then in this light the
dream must be correlated by using as many of the symbols you see in your
dream and carefully analyzing the different actions of each character.
Lists
Making a list in a dream denotes that the dreamer is worried about forgetting
an important item that looms large in his/her life. This is more in the form
of a worry dream and must be correlated to the rest of the dream to do the
dreamer any good at all.
Loneliness
Loneliness is a dream of contraries, that is to say, a dream whereas my old
Mother always said to 'take your dream backwards'. In other words your
dream of loneliness shows you will have so much company that you may
never be lonely again, (which is only a secret fear being exposed).
Lockets

will soon be married and will receive many beautiful gifts. Should a woman
dream that she breaks the locket her husband will be unfaithful all her
married life and if a locket is lost sadness will enter in your life.
Lost
Being lost in transit is often a dream that is a reflection of our waking life.

you round in circles before letting you out where you first began. It is not designed to
take you inward but may deliberately keep you from the center. Where a labyrinth
is designed with a defined goal at its heart. This journey is designed to steer you toward the center. When we are lost in our dreams, the reason is to find out why. Look at the other content in your dream.
Are you confused, disorientated, lonely, misunderstood? What is at the root of being lost in your waking life?
Often our dreams are also offering the solution. Are we rushing to conclusions? Are we unsure of a big decision
in life? Listening to our intuition is often the message.
Lottery
If you dream of the lottery in a general way it is a warning that you are being
careless in some undertaking which could cause you to suffer
disappointment. If you dream you have lost in the lottery you could become
the victim of false friends, but if you dream that someone else has won you
will have some fun times and friendly get togethers. If you win, expect some
unpleasant happenings.
Love
Symbol of our immediate love attraction. Common in teen dreams, and
usually a literal representation of our heart's current delight. Happy dreams
of being with a faceless or unknown crush indicate the dreamer's preparedness, and desire for, a romantic relationship.
1. Often a literal reflection of desire to marry, especially among younger men and women. At a symbolic level, marriage may represent harmony between
feminine and masculine aspects of the self, or a desire to join forces with
another person or entity, as in a new business opportunity. Dreams of being
unprepared for wedding ceremonies are common in anticipation of the actual
event. 2. Ex-lovers often appear if a relationship ended abruptly, without emotional closure. Do you still wonder if it could have worked out differently? Do you miss qualities that your ex-lover possessed? 3. Dreams of being romantically involved with an ex frequently represent fears
of commitment with a current lover, rather than genuine attraction to the old
lover. Are you ready to leave the past behind? An ex-lover who continues to
pursue a former partner in real life may show up negatively in dreams, in a
haunting or stalking character. Take our love test.

To see a mad dog in your dream means you will be under some sort of
attack from strangers who would distroy your business. If you manage to
kill the dog or escape with no injuries then this will denote that you will
escape all harm at the hands of an enemy. To see someone else kill the dog
means you will have a staunch supporter.
Madness (mental condition)
A dream of madness is never a fortunate sign but again this is something
that must be taken in context of the entire dream. Should you dream of being
mad yourself you will fall into grievous error unless you act to correct your
actions. Being mad also denotes that you may suffer a loss of property
through sickness. To see others suffering from this shows you have false
friends and should beware.
Maggot
A maggot is a filthy, loathsome, little thing that turns into a filthy, annoying
fly, and as such it is representative of someone in your life, or someone you
know well, who is lazy and good for nothing, and who may be leeching off
your generosity. Search the rest of your dream and you will be able to
pinpoint the whole warning.

magician you can expect some travel in the near future. To see others
performing this art shows the dreamer will have many profitable changes
taking place in his or her life.

small legal matters. If the dreamer faces the magistrate in a court of law as
the defendant it is likely he or she will experience a loss of freedom and
rights. A woman who dreams she marries a magistrate will find herself
judging between two choices in mates.
Magnet
To dream of a magnet means you will have the power to draw many things
into your life according to your wishes. A woman may have much wealth
and love showered on her as a result of this dream. A magnet dream is
usually a good one but again you need to place it within the framework of
the whole dream to learn it's true meaning, as it could also mean that you are
capable of drawing evil influences into your life unless you heed the overall
warning of your dream.
Magnifying glass
If you dream you are looking at things through a magnifying glass this is a
warning that you are looking at things in a wrong or distorted way and
should reevaluate your problems as you may be magnifying them; making
mountains out of mole hills. If the glass you are using is a help to you in
your dream it means that you will soon see your material wealth increase.
Magpie
A dream of a magpie shows much vexation to your spirit from careless
gossip that you have caused and this will lose you many friends. To see a
dead magpie shows that careless talk can ruin, or kill, your marriage.
Catching a magpie means that you will not be able to accomplish your
present goals and is a warning to change them.
Malice

warning to search for a false friend, a wolf in sheep's clothing. If you dream
that you hold malice in your heart for another person this shows that you
have a need to control your temper before you lose friends or loved ones. If
you dream of a malicious person and the malice is not directed to you then

love of your life is willing to wed you. To see a mallet (doing nothing) shows
that you will be treated badly while in ill health. To swing a mallet yourself
shows domestic disharmony.

viewed that way in your dream interpretation. As a symbol, it stands for any
activity that is not within the bounds of the law. It can also denote the fact
of not being able to think clearly if you dream that you are smoking it, and
this could cause you much trouble and stress. As an herb, it has curative
powers, and for the older generation of dreamers who still think of this as an
herb, this is a warning to have your health seen to by a professional.
Maze
Being lost in a maze will usually take you round in circles before letting you out where you first began. It is not designed to take you inward but may deliberately keep you from the center. A maze is a puzzle designed to get us lost. It can be fun, frustrating or challenging to find ourselves going round in circles, depending on the content of our dream.
Marriage
Dreaming of a marriage, or a wedding, is the sign of a death in the family.
If the marriage was between strangers, then the death pertains to a not too
close acquaintance or friend. See Wedding for more information.
Medicine Man
To be helped be an Indian medicine man is the best kind of good luck in
business omen as this shows that you can expect to receive the backing of
powerful friends are backers that will assure your success and your fortune.

unless you change into more modern ways of doing things.
Metaphysical Themes
Dreams about luck, protection and intuition fall under the category of metaphysics. Metaphysics refers to the branch of philosophy that attempts to understand the fundamental nature of all reality, whether visible or invisible. "Beyond the physical". Therefore, a Metaphysician is one who seeks to discover what underlies everything. This is the study of what is outside objective experience relating to the transcendent or to a reality beyond what is perceptible to the senses.
Mice
To dream of mice is not a very good omen as the dreamer can expect
disappointments and ill will from others if the dream centers around the
mice. If you have a mouse jump on you, or get in your clothing, then you
will be involved in a scandal with a friend. If you kill the mice, you will
overcome all, but if they escape you, your strivings will be of doubtful
significance.
Milk
If you dream of seeing milk in large containers you will have honor and
riches, if your dream is of buying and selling milk commercially, you will
have great business success. If you dream that you give your milk away, this
denotes that you are too generous and could harm your own finances. If you
spill milk, your friends will disappoint you, and if the milk is not pure, you
will suffer many small aggravations. If you try to drink milk, and cannot
swallow it, this denotes that you are in danger of losing the friendship of a
person you have know for a long time.
Mirror
There are two schools of thought about your dreams of a mirror. One is that
if you see yourself in a mirror it foretells of a terrible illness or failure, (death of a business), and the other school of thought is, to see oneself in a mirror is a sign that you will soon be facing issues within yourself that you have
been subconsciously hiding from yourself. If the mirror is broken then will
there be news of a death in the family.
Money
If money is a pressing issue in our waking life (debt, unemployment, bad job) dreams of stealing or hoarding money can represent our literal anxiety. Dreams of insufficient money commonly reflect feelings of inadequacy and
powerlessness. As a rule, dreams of discovering money should not be interpreted literally. Instead, dreamers should recognize the value they already have "discovered" in their waking lives an exciting relationship, an intellectual pursuit, a promising business opportunity that is paying them emotional rewards.
Moon
To see a normal moon in a normal sky resplendent with stars denotes that
you will have success with love or money but if the moon is peculiar or
weird then you will meet with many disappointments and a cheating spouse.
If you see a moon in eclipse then you will hear of a friend with a contagious
disease.
Moonlight
To dream of moonlight is generally a good omen. If you are standing in
bright moonlight with your beloved it predicts a happy domestic life, blessed
by plenty. If you are taking a stroll in the moonlight the omen here is, that
you will receive a great favor, or a financial boon. If you become frightened
while in the moonlight you will have many small vexing troubles but still
reach your goals.
Mountain
A mountain dream is used by the subconscious mind to tell us that we have
many obstacles to overcome and they will be large ones and almost
insurmountable. This dream can be one of discouragement or
encouragement, depending on the entire context of the dream and must be
studied in that light.
Moving
Again, with moving, we have another obstacle dream, in as much as, if the
move goes smoothly and is completed in normal time then you will overcome
your barriers and sail through to what you desire. If the dream of moving
involves a lot of difficulty, or is not completed, then you must forego
changes in your environment and plan on staying in the same career for a
while.
Muffins
If you dream of eating muffins it is an indication that you like the good
things of life, and if you overindulge in them you are likely to care more for
luxury then you should. To bake muffins is an omen that you will work hard
for your money, but your enjoyment of your success will be all the more
sweeter.
Murder
If you have a dream of murdering another, this is a warning that you must
keep in control of your temper and emotions at all times and not get enraged
to the point of murderous intent. If you are the eye witness to a murder this
is also a warning, but, one that is alerting you to possible changes in your
life that you will not like unless you practice self control and not expect
others to order the situation for you.
Music
If your dream of music is of soothing, beautiful, music that uplifts your spirit
then you will have some wonderful luck in every matter that is of concern to
you while the raucous, unpleasant type of music brings discord to all your
activities.
Mutation
If you dream of seeing an ugly, mutated person or animal which frightens
you, then you will soon hear some bad news concerning the family. If you
see the type of mutation called morphing, when one things flows into being
another thing, this is a warning that a person, or situation is not what they
seem to be, 'a wolf in sheep's clothing'.
1. The Sigmund Freud Approach to Dreams
Freud remains one of the most influential figures of the 20th century. Freud's basic insight that our minds preserve memories and emotions which are not always consciously available to us has transformed the way humanity views itself ever since. Freud said that there had been three great humiliations in human history: Galileo's discovery that we were not the center of the universe, Darwin's discovery that we were not the crown of creation, and his own discovery that we are not in control of our own minds.
The tendency of modern people to trace their problems to childhood traumas or other repressed emotions begins with Freud. One of Freud's more important discoveries is that emotions buried in the unconscious surface in disguised form during dreaming, and that the remembered fragments of dreams can help uncover the buried feelings. Whether the mechanism is exactly as Freud describes it, many people have derived insights into themselves from studying their dreams, and most modern people consider dreams emotionally significant, unlike our ancestors who often saw them either as divine portents or as the bizarre side-effects of indigestion.
Freud argues that dreams are wish-fulfillments, and will ultimately argue that those wishes are the result of repressed or frustrated sexual desires. The anxiety surrounding these desires turns some dreams into nightmares.
2. The Carl Jung Approach to Dreams
Carl Jung is one of the most respected and recognized psychologists of all time. Many people know Jung as one of Sigmund Freud's followers and co-workers. Jung's emphasis in the field in psychology had to do with dreams. Jung developed many theories about dreams, a lot of them disagreeing with Freud. Jung was a great psychologist and psychiatrist that changed the ways of psychology today.
Jung thought that dreams were a tool to help us grow, not just to release extreme sexual desires. Jung felt that dreams were more than about sex, they were about life. Jung said that sexual drive doesn't even motivate us as much as the fear of death. Jung was an inspiration to all in the psychology field. His theories are instrumental in psychology and psychiatry fields today. He was a brilliant man not afraid to stand on his own for what he believed in.
It was Jung, a contemporary of Edgar Cayce's, who found convincing evidence for a deep level to the unconscious mind. This profound depth, Jung felt, came from a genuine spiritual reality that hadn't been acknowledged by Freud. Jung called this level the "collective unconscious." Here all minds could communicate through the use of universal symbols - images which seem to have a common meaning among people all over the world.
For example, a symbol such as a lion or a great cat has a universal or archetypal meaning of power and vitality. Birds frequently symbolize various kinds of love or concern; water is often suggestive of the Spirit itself. An old woman or an old man or a grandfatherly figure can symbolize our own "Higher Self' or our own internal wisdom. Myths or fairy tales often have similarities among cultures, and these similarities are shown through their universal symbols and themes. Sometimes our own dreams may contain these kinds of symbols.
Of course, not all the symbols and Images in our dreams represent the universal or archetypal. Many, if not most, are best interpreted by discovering the personal associations one has with that person or object. The dream symbol of a rifle, for example, would likely mean one thing to a gunsmith and something quite different to a victim of war.
3. The Edgar Cayce Approach to Dreams
Although it is true that many of us do not make a conscious effort to remember our dreams, everyone dreams. During the early part of this century, while psychologists such as Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung were demonstrating the clinical importance of dreams, Edgar Cayce was providing average individuals with guidelines for working with what has become one of the most practical approaches to dreams. Hundreds of Cayce's readings deal with the subject of dreams and dream interpretation. Perhaps the most important insights gained from the wealth of this material is the fact that each of us is aware of much more-about ourselves, our physical bodies, our surroundings, even our lifestyles-at subconscious levels than we realize when we are awake.
In the dream state we open our minds to many different levels of our own unconscious. Not only are all of our previous conscious experiences stored there, but it is also the storehouse of resources which rarely come to conscious awareness. The subconscious has remarkable talents for finding solutions to problems. It houses all of our wishes, hopes, and memories of past experiences, and can also assist us with self-examination, providing practical guidance for any question. It even makes it possible for us to have psychic experiences.
Dreams can diagnose the causes of our physical ailments, point out the thoughts and emotions that we've tried to overlook, and often make suggestions for improving our relationships with others. While dreaming, we can gain awareness about our entire being: physically, mentally, and spiritually.
