Abandon
You must consider this dreams varying aspects in order to
interpret this dream. Your subconscious may be giving you some
messages in regards to what needs to be kept and what needs to be
let go. Traditional dream interpretations say that if you are the
one being abandoned in your dream, it is a dream of the contrary
and you may experience reconciliation or recovery from trouble or
illness.
Abdomen
When, in your dream, you are feeling pain or discomfort in this
area, or any other area of the body, make sure that you are in
good health. At times our subconscious knows that something is
wrong, even before we have any symptoms. Old wives tales tell us
that this is a dream of the contrary and that you will have lots
of vigor and good health. However they say, if you dreamed that
your abdomen is exposed, it may be a warning that someone that
you trust is not loyal or is working against you.
Abortion
A woman that had this experience is most likely to have
many dreams about it. Even though the dream may be disturbing or
anxiety provoking, it is a healing dream. It is possible that in
your dream state you are working toward acceptance and are
resolving any unconscious feelings. If a man is having this dream
it usually means that he is experiencing guilt feelings and he
may be anticipating failure in love or money. If a woman who has
not had this experience is having this dream, it may be a warning
about her health or it may indicate that she is feeling
significant anxiety about her current endeavors.
Actor
Dreaming about a famous actor or actress,
may be a wish fulfilling dream. We admire them and we may wish to
have some of their characteristics. Consider the personality
traits, or any other trait that attracts you to that person. By
doing this you will figure out why you are dreaming about them.
If you are dreaming that someone is acting, you may be dreaming
about yourself. The dream could be pointing out some of the roles
that you play in life. We all have many different rolls, like:
parent, spouse, lover, student, professional etc.. We behave
somewhat differently in each of those roles. The actor in your
dreams could be showing you how well you "play" some of
your roles in life, or showing you how others perceive you.
Aging
Dreaming about old people, or your own aging
may have several different meanings. An old man may symbolize
wisdom and forgiveness, and an old woman -- life and death. In
general, aging may represent wisdom that a person acquires
through experience. The dream may also be giving you a message in
regard to life's lessons. This may be a good time for you to
apply some of your experience and knowledge in a current
situation. This dream may also be a reflection of your concerns
about aging. If you are thinking about your mortality and do not
welcome maturing and age, the dream may be bringing out some of
your worries and/or vanities.
Airplane
If you are a passenger in a plane you may be
subconsciously thinking about someone or something that is far
away and you wish to get in touch. If you are the pilot it
suggest that you have a sense of control and an underlying
confidence that you will succeed in your endeavors.
Alcohol
Drinking alcohol in moderation or at a celebration,
suggests that you are feeling good about the decisions that you
have made and you are counting on future success. However, if you
are drinking excessively and feel intoxicated in your dreams, it
suggests that you may have negative feelings about yourself and
fear being discovered for what your really are.
Alien
Meeting and talking to aliens usually suggests that many
significant changes are coming into your life. If you dream that
you are the alien, it usually suggest that you are feeling like a
stranger in your usual crowd and would like to find new friends.
Alligator
This cold blooded animal could hold several
different meanings in your dream. It could symbolically represent
something from your memory, your emotions, or a current situation
or individual in your life. Some think that the alligator
represents verbal power, used in a destructive way. Others think
that it represents an enemy. Consider the details in your dream
and your level of fear. This dream symbol should encourage you to
look at some of your more "dangerous" emotions,
memories and experiences. The alligators in your dreams, will
begin to loose the power to frighten you as your understanding
increases.
Ambulance
In old dream dictionaries, dreaming about an
ambulance could be labeled as a dream of warning. In more modern
terms, you unconscious mind may by attempting to convey
information which you have been unwilling to consciously deal
with. Pay attention to your physical body and see if your health
is an issue. Otherwise, this dream may be pointing to some urgent
situation in your life. Consider all of the details in your
dream, examine your daily life and make an attempt to see if
there is something that requires your immediate attention.
Amputation
This is a scary dream which may be due to
anxiety and fear. It suggests feelings of frustration, anger and
powerlessness on the part of the dreamer. This dream may also be
related to a radical removal of something from your life. Some
believe that you are trying to get rid of something that is no
longer desirable or necessary, or that the limb or the part being
amputated has lost its power. According to New Age thinking, the
right side of the body is usually associated with the ability to
give emotionally, psychologically and physically to yourself and
to others, and the left with the ability to receive.
Anchor
Dreams involving anchors are hints from your subconscious
that you should "stay put". Don't go shopping for
things that you really don't need. Economize.
Angels
Some say that dreams containing angels are good omens and
suggest that you will have an increase of joy in your life. If
you are the angel in the dream or if an angel flies over your
house, it is exceptionally good luck. However, if you are
dreaming that the angels are talking to you or you are calling
upon them, it may indicate that you are overly concerned about
your activities and their moral implications.
Anger
This may be a carry over from your daily life. In our
dreams we can experience and express such feelings safely.
Feeling great anger in your dream may be disturbing, but pay
attention to it and attempt to deal with all of your emotions in
a more appropriate and productive manner.
Animals
For a more specific interpretation please look up each
animal by its name. If you are dreaming about wild animals the
interpretation depends on the circumstances in your dream and on
the level of their hostility. Wild animals are generally a good
omen, but if there is aggression, see how this is relevant to a
current issue in your life, be warned and proceed with caution.
Anxiety
Experiencing much anxiety in your dream state, may be
related to your every day life and your current difficulties.
There may be a great gap between the way things are and the way
you would like them to be. An older interpretation indicates that
when you dream about anxiety the contrary is true and that your
worries will be lessened.
Apology
This dream always has something to do with friends.
Friends going in and out of your life or returning after a long
absence. Apologies make such things happen.
Armor
it could represent your defense mechanisms.
Those things that you use to protect from self and/or others.
They could be things such as denial and repression. Physical
barriers, such as the walls in your house, or even your behaviors
and attitudes that keep others away. On a more spiritual note,
some believe that dreaming about armor may be a good sign which
represents a shield of protection form difficulties and
temptation.
Attack
Research shows that the content of most
dreams is more frequently unpleasant than pleasant. Most people
have experienced violent dreams and dreams that they are being
attacked. To understand your dream consider all of its details
and think about whether you are being attacked or you are
attacking. If you are being attacked then maybe you are feeling
somewhat vulnerable in some area of your daily life. If you are
doing the attacking, it may be that you are releasing some of
your frustrations and anger. You may be expressing negative
feelings in such ways that you are unable to do in daily life.
Attic
Any part of a house usually represents a
part of yourself. (You are the house). The attic is the last
thing built. Consider the details of the dream and try to figure
out what your unconscious is trying to tell you. Some believe
that the attic symbolizes the higher self, or your best self. The
self that is in contact with the eternal. Others think that the
attic symbolizes the sum total of your life's work. That it may
predict how well you will do in old age. If the attic if full of
"neat" stuff, it may imply that you are accomplishing
wonderful things and are living up to your potential in this life
time.
Avalanche
The material which makes up the avalanche is
snow, and snow is frozen water. Water symbolizes your emotions.
Thus, this dream is about rapidly and violently descending
emotions. The emotions which may have been held at bay, and you
have not been dealing with for a very long time, have finally
been unlocked and may be overwhelming you. You may have this
dream during emotionally turbulent times of your life, or in your
dreams you may be remembering and reliving some difficult
emotional experiences. Old dream interpretation books say that if
you are buried in an avalanche that you will have good luck in
the near future, thus they think that it is a dream of the
contrary.
