Faces
It is very common to dream about familiar
faces, as well as the faces of strangers. Interpret the dream, by
considering the face and the general content of the dream.
Stranger's face could represent different parts of our
personality of psyche. You think that you are seeing a stranger,
but in actuality you are seeing a different part of yourself. A
comic face may indicate that you have conscious or unconscious
need to mock or snub the conventional. Featureless faces suggest
that you may feel unnoticed and unappreciated. On the other hand,
some believe that the blank or unclear face represents a teacher.
Someone that is there to show you something or teach you a
lesson. Smiling faces are representative of happy thoughts and
feelings, and possibly anticipation of a joyful event in the near
future.
Falling
This is a common dream which usually
represents underlying fears and feelings of inadequacy and
helplessness. Interpret your dream by considering your primary
fears and current difficulties. Especially, those situations that
seem somewhat outside of your control (financial, romantic,etc.).
The prophetic meaning of this dream is if you fall a long
distance and get hurt, be prepared for really hard times a head,
but if you fall and do not get injured your upsets will be minor
and temporary.

levels. You may be dreaming about your father and expressing your
feeling, about him or toward him, in a safe way. Traditionally a

and weaknesses, as they relate to your position in life, and your
general attitude toward society.
Fear
If you are experiencing great fear in your
dreams, you are having nightmares. These types of dreams are
positive because your unconscious mind is trying to tell you
something. If your have repressed issues, they are coming to the
surface. Think about the fear in your dreams and try to be honest
with yourself. Face your fears, as a great American president
once said, "There is nothing to fear, but fear itself".

are not uncommon. Feces represent those things which you no
longer need. Things which are currently garbage or waste and need
to be discarded. Generally, this dream may represent healthy
psychological progress. It may indicate that you are cleansing
yourself of unnecessary and possibly hurtful attitudes, ideas and
emotions. In some cultures people believe that if you are

emotional responses in the dream. Fire can be a deeply spiritual
symbol, representing transformation and enlightenment. On the

hurtful and dangerous.

about fish you will soon find out that you or someone you know is
pregnant (waters of the womb). Others believe that if you see
fish in your dreams it is a forecast for sickness and poor
health. In Christianity, Christ is at times represented by the
fish symbol (spirituality). These water dwelling animals may
represent messages from our unconscious, and indicate to us how
well we navigate through our emotional waters. They could
symbolize body and soul nourishment, and navigation through the
unknown depths of ourselves.
Floating
Floating in water can be symbolic of
floating on top of your emotions and in harmony with the
unconscious. Floating through the air has the same symbolism as
flying. Floating usually represents your current feelings of
peacefulness and general freedom.
Flowers
When we look at flowers, most of us feel
some joy and aliveness. At the very least we, appreciate their
beauty and see their value. Flowers are beautiful and in our
dreams they could represent the simplest feelings of contentment
to the deepest feelings of spiritual unfoldment. The colors could
symbolize the psychic centers in our bodies, called chakras.
Flowers also represent hope and positive growth, along with
simplicity, innocence and possibly virginity.
Flood
Floods are caused by heavy rain and the
melting of snow. Water in any form, including rain and snow,
symbolizes emotions. Dreaming abut being in a flood is an
indication that the dreamer is currently experiencing powerful
emotions, and may at times be overwhelmed by them. The flood in
your dream could represent a very powerful, or even violent,
emotionally cleansing experience. But don't worry, just like in
an actual flood, waters reside and so do emotions. Depending on
the content of the dream and your emotional experience in it, the
flood could also represent sexuality, and be a sexual dream
symbol. Also See: Disaster
Flies
These insects are annoying and they take
away from the enjoyment of any moment or situation. Consider the
details of your dream and try to figure out if these flies
represent anything in your daily life. They could symbolize
people and things that get in your way, or they could mean that
you are currently experiencing annoyance and frustration.
Consider whether your are successfully getting rid of the flies
in your dream, or whether they are overwhelming you. This may
give you a clue as to how well you are coping with distraction
and frustration.
Flying
Dreams of flying are very common and most people can recall
having flown in a dream or two. There are many ideas as to what
this means. Some people believe that flying in our dreams can be
an actual out of body experience. That we go to places on this
physical plane as well as into the inner planes (mostly the
Astral). Edgar Cayce thought that this Astral travel may be a
precursor to becoming lucid in a dream. Carl Jung's idea was that
in a flying dream we are expressing our desire to brake free of
restrictions and limitations. We have a desire to be free and
above all of our difficulties! Alfred Adler, thought that this
dream was a type of a superiority dream in which we reveal the
desire to dominate and be above others. Focusing on the libido,
Freud thought that flying was just another way to express sexual
desires. The details of your dream will give you clues as to what
it symbolizes, if your dream was a spiritual experience or ego
based. Enjoy it, flying is fun!
Food
People often dream about food. All types of
food are a consistent part of a dream life. Anything from meat to
elbow macaroni, comes up through our unconscious and leaves vivid
memories upon awakening. Food is symbolic of a large variety of
things. It could symbolize pleasure and indulgence. To the
perpetual dieter, the dream could have a "compensatory"
function, where the food that is denied to the individual during
the day shows up in the dream state. Dreams could additionally
symbolize physical, mental, spiritual and emotional nourishment.
Forest
/ Woods
They may represent your unconscious or your
"mental space". If you are lost in the woods it may be
a reflection of feelings of confusion and lack of clear
direction.
Friends
Our dreams are full of symbolism, with their
messengers being all different types of people. It is very common
to dream about our friends. These are individual that are
emotionally valuable to us, and we learn about ourselves through
them. Dreams are very rarely prophetic, thus whether your dream
was good or bad, don't expect it to come true. This dream is more
than likely attempting to bring up uncomfortable feelings that
you have about yourself or others (remember
"uncomfortable" does not necessarily mean bad). Dreams
are created by our own thinking processes, our own thoughts
created our dreams....thus, the mind that created the dream also
knows it's meaning!!! Also see: People.
Frog
Old dream interpretation books say that frogs are a good omens
and represent happiness and great friendships. From a more modern
point of view, frogs may be considered symbols of the
unconscious, as they live in the water. Frogs also represent
transformation of the positive kind.
