calmness.
Sailing
To have a dream where you are sailing on calm waters show that you will have an easy time of it as you strive to make your fortune. A beautiful sail
full of wind shows that you will be free from poverty and much misery. If you are on a small vessel this shows that your desires will remain modest
and not beyond your means of earning them.
Sailor
If you dream of a sailor you will be bound for a long and exiting ocean voyage. For women to dream of flirting with sailors shows she could be
harmed by a jealous lover. A sailor who is whistling while he works denotes very good luck to the dreamer.
Salad
Dreaming of eating a salad could be your subconscious minds way of telling you to do just that! Perhaps by eating more salads you will forestall the
sickness and ill health this dream denotes. If you dream of making it yourself this could mean a quarrel with a loved one.
Salt
Salt in a dream is an unhappy symbol that brings chaos and discord with it. Dreaming of salt will denote that things around you will get a little
fouled up and slightly askew, to put it mildly. You will find quarrels in the family and with friends break out at the drop of a hat with little or no
provocation. Should you be salting meat in your dream then will you find that debts you owe begin to fall behind and you get continually harassed
over them.
Salve
If you dream you are rubbing salve on someones wound this will show that you can be depended on to help a friend in a crisis. If the salve is being
rubbed on you, you will win in the face of adversity, overcoming all obstacles.
Sample
A dream whereby you are being given merchandise samples denotes that you will see a good increase in your business. If you dream that you are
given the choice between one sample or the other will show that you have a decision to make and it will be a complex one. A dream of assorted
samples being picked over will show that you will have more opportunities in your life.
Sand Dunes
While sand itself can be an adverse dream, sand dunes are a different matter altogether. A sand dune represents protection as these are protected
from distraction by law and this dream shows that you are longing for, or actively seeking, protection in your life. To understand what the
protection you are seeking actually is you will have to look to the other symbols in the dream and correlate it with the sand dune symbol.
Seasons
Man has lived his life by the seasons since the dawn of time. The rhythm of nature can be seen in the cycle of the seasons. The shift of seasons resemble the changes in our lives. The patterns in nature and the seasons can have a profound effect on our behavior, lifestyle and outlook. The sequence of seasons also echos the progression from life to death and the seasons" of our lives:
Sex
Sex dreams are so common, they often will physically arouse us from our sleep. Men tend to have more negative erotic dreams while women tend to have more positive ones. Women seem to have fewer sex dreams but they are happier ones. While men have more sex anxiety dreams, often associated with performance. The theme comes up so often in our dreams that it can take the form of many "phallic" objects giving the meaning of sex without the blatant act of sex. It has been the basis (and argument) of both Freud and Jung's theories.
Shack
To see shacky old buildings ready to be destroyed, or torn down, is a sign of the dreamer allowing his habits to tear down his personal house, (the
body), and it bodes bad news and ill health for the dreamer unless the dreamer drastically changes his/her ways in a hurry; with a dream like this
you can expect impending disaster to your health due only to bad habits or dissipation.
Shapes
Shapes and colors have a Universal meaning, yet in almost every religion, culture and part of the world, they have their own specific meaning to go along side these definitions. These shapes are Universally recognized in dreams and play a part of our subconscious mind in one way or another. These shapes represent one general idealism; yet can represent something entirely different if used in a different context. What do you see?
Shoes
If you are shining your shoes you will soon hear of an exciting new business venture in which you will get involved. If you dream the shoes you are wearing is shabby and worn out you can expect success in your business through hard work. New shoes mean overconfidence, but if you lose a
shoe you will experience setbacks or losses.
Snake
A snake, being the ages old symbol of evil or satan, makes it a bad omen to have one show up in a dream. To see a lone snake and feel threatened
by it shows that you have a bad enemy that is even then working against you, it also a warning against bodily harm from an enemy. To dream of
many snakes in a pit is the foreboding of much bad luck in love or business. Should you overcome and kill a threatening snake in your dream
shows that you will overcome your adversary and win out.
Snow
To dream of snow in all its forms, on trees, storms, etc., is a dream of very good omen which shows you will have success in business or
investments, but if you should eat the snow this will presage a long period of sadness for the dreamer.
Spider
All spiders except tarantulas are omens of good luck. If you see a spider climbing the wall you will have your dearest wish come true and if you see
a spider spinning a web you will have an increase in your income due to hard work. A large spider sitting on a telephone shows you will have a
phone call that will benefit you greatly. The larger the spider, the bigger the rewards.
Spirit
The spirit is our deepest healing resource. To recognize a power that is greater than our own is to recognize our Spirituality. When we are spiritual we consciously strive to live with awareness, love, faith and devotion. Our Spirit is comprised of Spiritual health - a condition marked by a diminished sense of fear and the daily experience of unconditional love, joy, gratitude, and a personal relationship with your God (or an awareness of an inner source of infinite power and compassion.) Our Spirit also comes through Social health - and consists of a strong, positive connection to others in community, family, and intimacy with one or more people.
Seeing Spirits: if you dream of speaking with an unknown spirit you should watch out for someone who is trying to deceive you. Generally if the spirit is known
and welcomed it is a sign of great good luck and/or good fortune in business affairs.
Stage
All the world is a stage and we are all actors playing a part. The trick to figuring out this dream is to try to find the symbology that will point to
your 'performance in life' and then you will be able to correlate the stage with any items you see on it and the actions of the actors as they role play
in order to receive the intended message.
Stairs
If you are walking up the steps it is a sign of good luck in your present endeavors, but if you are walking downstairs expect to meet with bad luck
and setbacks. If you should stumble and fall upward on the stairs you will have a happy marriage or relationship, but if you fall down them you
must be more conventional in your attitude and lifestyle so you do not fall into disrespect.
Stomach
If you dream of your stomach be cautious of trading confidences and doubly so if you dream you are sick to your stomach. A distended stomach is
an indication of unhealthy eating habits and impending illness if there is not a quick change in dietary practices. If you dream your stomach is nice
and flat, it is an indication that you should get more exercise.
Stuck or trapped
Very similar to being lost in your dream, being stuck or trapped is another case where you may feel helpless, unable to move or having difficulty identifying where you are. Where did you become stuck in the dream? What is restricting your movement? How did you try to recover from your situation? What waking situation in your life does this remind you of? Being paralyzed or partially paralyzed or totally restricted in movement, like trying to run away but being unable to move fast enough is equal to paralyzing fear. See also lost.
Suffocating
A dream of suffocation should first of all be taken as a warning and go to see the doctor for a thorough checkup, second of all the dream could
indicate that you are a victim of a particular kind of love that is so protective of you that you feel suffocated. Either way the dream warns you to
check your health or get out of a bad relationship.
Swimming
The dream of swimming must be interpreted by using all the aspects of your dream to judge the extent of the good or bad signified by swimming. If
you dream you are swimming in the ocean coming toward shore you will have good fortune in business and financial affairs through your hard
work. To be swimming in a pool shows that you will be unlucky in love and if you see females swimming in the pool you will have luck with love,
to see males you will have luck in business, and if you see both you will experience both types of luck. If you are teaching someone to swim you
will soon have an increase due to good fortune.
T
Table
To dine at a table that has no cloth shows that you will not be envious of the good fortune of others. To set the table foretells a happy marriage in
prosperous circumstances. An empty table foreshadows poverty and needy circumstances. A broken table is bad luck, and to clear the table means
your pleasure will become sorrow. A soiled cloth on a table means you may be guilty of an indiscretion. To dream of a table represents awareness of options. Noticing everything that possible or available to you.
Tack
To dream of many small tacks show many small worries and aggravations from others. Driving a tack shows you will overcome adversaries. To
mash your finger while driving a tack shows you will be hurt in the process of getting the better of your enemy.

sign of crushing defeat.
Tail
To see the tail of an animal is unfortuneate in many ways, chief of which is that through carelessness you may bring about disaster on your own
head. Having grown the tail of an animal on your own person denotes the evil intent you have toward another which will be your downfall unless
you change.

problems. To hear others speaking in a loud voice denotes that you will be falsely accused of malicious gossip.
Tambourine

enterprise. Dreaming that you are the tanner shows that your present line of work is not what you want to be doing but there are others you must
consider. If you dream of being in , or seeing,
a tannery then you are in some danger of contracting a contagious disease.

you will find misfortune dogging your footsteps.

dream you are the one being tattooed you will become the target for a strangers jealousy but if you see someone else with tattoos then you will take
a long, hard journey from home.
Teeth
Teeth are the most requested dream word of all. If you dream of having false teeth this indicates that you will have unexpected help
on a problem. To dream of rotten teeth shows that you have been telling someone a lie or using your smooth words for getting your own way no
matter what. If your teeth are rotten, crooked, and/or falling out this means that your lies are hurting someone very badly and that you will soon be
found out. If you dream you have swallowed a tooth you will soon have too 'eat your words'. It becomes much easier to interpret this kind of dream
if you think of teeth as representing words. When the dreamer is not the one with the bad teeth you will naturally have to watch out for someone
lying to you.
Test Taking
Test anxiety dreams where you forget about an exam, haven’t studied or don't recognize the words on the page are among the most common ones. They usually begin in childhood and continue into middle age, and their variations are specific to the person having them. Actors and dancers may not dream of walking into a test unprepared, instead they may dream that they forgot about an audition, forget their lines or can't remember the steps. These are all symbols of someone judging and evaluating you. It has to do with feeling exposed.
Three
Three is considered the number of the Holy Trinity and therefore sacred. It is vibrant and alive with hope and possibility. To dream of a three is not
in itself significant but must be considered as a whole with the dream, whether or not is religious, etc., and then you will be able to tie it in to get a true reading.
Tidal Wave
This image tends to come up and be especially powerful in people who have experienced some form of trauma. (Other variations may include being caught in an earthquake, avalanche or fire.) But the tidal wave isn't a literal depiction of their experience. Victims of fire, rape or attempted rape have all had this type of dream. This has been documented in the Sleep Study notes. They are not dreaming about what actually happened, but the emotion, which says "I feel over whelmed or I'm terrified".
Time
This is another one of those words that you must consider with the entire dream in mind. If time is of the essence and you are rushed or late this
could be a warning not to be caught late for an important appointment. This could also be a fear dream pointing at the fact that you have a real life
appointment and you have a fear of oversleeping, in this case the dream is only mirroring your fear.
Tooth, Lost
Foretelling of dental problem or biting off more than we can chew and lossing a tooth because of it may represent aggression toward the situation or feelings around having lost control.

Tornado
If you dream that you are caught up in a tornado, or see other people in one, or you are in danger from a tornado, then you will find all your well
laid business plans come to naught and failure will dog your footsteps until you do something to change your chances of success; more education,
better training or so forth.
Travel
Travel is a dream that has several different meanings and should be used in the dream as a stand alone as meaning a wish to leave your present
environment. A dream of traveling in a car full of people usually means you will be making new friends and enjoying life more. If you dream you
are alone in the car and the road is bumpy, you can look forward to some troubling times. If you are in an unknown area it is a warning to be careful
of enemies.

Found in almost every culture, the symbol of the tree is "rooted" in world consciousness. As a symbol of life, the tree has its head in the sky and its roots deeply buried in the earth.

This mystical concept alludes to the interconnection of all life on our planet, the gaining of knowledge, and our evolutionary descent and connection to heaven and the underworld.

Found extensively in the Kabbalah and angel lore, no where is it more prevelant than in the Celtic culture and tree divination.
Turtle
Turtles signify the odd and the unusual in your life and if you dream of seeing one you will have an odd incidence befall you and the good or the

Water
Water represents traits of, or is symbollic of our emotions. All life forms consist of water. It involves healing, compassion, reconciliation, friendship, de-stressing, insight, peace, sleep, dreams, intuition, and psychic abilities and health and beauty. In dreams, when we dream of water in a positive way, it represents a sensitive, caring and nurturing situation. Water can be still, raging, wave-like, lapping up on a beach or dripping from a faucet. It is the ideal image for our emotions as well... anger, jealousy, grief, joy, excitement and love. Dreaming of water can represent our emotional needs, desires and capabilities. The more we try to hold on to water, the more it can elude us. Dreams of water can represent a sooth and calming stream, yet this same stream can cut through rock. With water, it must be looked at in relation to other symbols within your dream state. Where you standing in a pool of it? You could be flooded with emotions or situations out of your control. Are you drowning in it? You may not be able to "keep your head above water" in a real life situation. Are you floating down a peaceful river or sailing over it? This can mean a calm journey or happy, easy-peasy situation. Dreaming of bodies of 1. water can indicate some interesting desires. How is it seen in your dream? The size of the body of water is representative of the size of your sexual desire. How wet you get in crossing the water is indicative of the relative importance of your sex life. A lake in your dream can mean you are loyal to your friends and your lover. You are very reserved. An ocean can show you are spontaneous and like to please people. 2. Birth dreams relate to water as we are submerged in water for 9 months, the most sheltered and protective time of our lives. Water breaking can be the start of a very traumatic start into the world... such as giving birth or a dam breaking in our dreams. 2. Fountains, geysers and hoses can certainly indicate ejaculation or a sexual release, including the release of energy. 3. Tears in dreams can idicate the release of emotions such as anger, grief or prolonged sadness. Many people are taught that it is not good to cry in public and therefore the release of tears in our dreams can show this trapped emotion. Is this an emotion of yours that is trying to be outwardly expressed? Universal symbol for emotions. How water behaves in a dream always is significant. Rising water indicates rising emotions. Turbulent, choppy waters, in which a dreamer fears being swamped or drowning, symbolizes being overwhelmed emotionally. Tidal waves may symbolize specific threats that loom in the distance. Being caught in a swift moving current
suggests being swept up in one's emotions. Cloudy water suggests lack of emotional clarity, and fears of emotional contamination. Swimming or bathing peacefully in water symbolizes a comfortable immersion in one's
emotions. The ability to breathe underwater indicates accessibility to unconscious feelings and awareness. Dreaming of clear water is a sign of great good luck and prosperity, a dream of muddy water foretells sadness or sorry for the dreamer through hearing of an illness or death of someone he/she knows well. Dirty water warns of unscrupulous people who would bring you to ruin. All water dreams, other then clear, has a bad omen connected to it and should be studied carefully and taken as a true waning.

not.

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.
