Game
People dream about all different types of
games. Some are simple and borrowed from daily life, like
basketball or Monopoly. Other games in dreams are bazaar,
incredible, totally unrealistic, and some are even sadistic. To
interpret the dream you must consider its greater context and the
emotional reactions in the dream. Some games are simply a form of
entertainment from your unconscious. You may be having fun in
your dream. This is not all that common, but it does happen from
time to time. Other "game" dreams may represent the
challenges in your life, your competitive nature, or your
childishness. They may point out goals to be achieved, or are a
simple way to let out steam. The game in your dream could also
represent "the game of life". This is not an original
thought on my part, but it deserves attention and consideration.
If you are playing a strange game with people from your daily
life, consider your interactions with them and the role that each
individual holds.
Garbage
The unconscious mind may be hinting to you
that the time for "throwing out" unnecessary things is
at hand. Letting go of clutter frees the mind and makes more room
in the closet!! The garbage in your dream could also represent
those things from your past, or in your life today which are not
worth keeping, or that are literally rubbish. It has been said
that "cleanliness is next to Godliness", and there is
something to that saying. Removing "garbage" from the
mind, spirit and body is not only necessary, but it is also at
times accomplished in our dreams.
Garden
It may be a symbolism of lost innocence or
youth. Folk lore tells us that dreaming of beautiful gardens is
symbolic of great happiness and love. If the garden is wild it
means that you may have difficulties, but with some care and
attention you are capable of overcoming them.
Genitals
This is an obvious sexual dream, which
brings out your attitudes and concerns in regard to your
sexuality. If you are feeling quietly, stressed or concerned
about your sexual activities (or a lack of them), they will be
reinforced in these explicit dreams containing sexual organs. If
you are dreaming about the sexual organs of other people, you may
be concerned about their sexuality or other troubling issues that
are surrounding them. Dreaming about sexual organs usually has
something to do with sex --BUT not necessarily, so consider all
the details.
Ghosts
Some believe that the ghosts in their dreams
are real representations of the dead. This is the most unlikely
explanation for this dream. More likely, the ghost is
representing a part of yourself that is unclear to you, and that
you do not understand. At times, ghosts represent those things
that we can no longer obtain and that are fleeting. Old
superstition based dream interpretations say that dreaming of
friendly ghosts is a lucky omen, and that you should be receiving
unexpected good luck. On the other hand if you were very
frightened by the ghost in your dream, then others will try to
impose their will on you and you must be vigilant in order to
stand up to it.
Gift
If you are giving presents, your subconscious may be trying to
tell you that your current difficulties will pass with positive
outcomes. If you are receiving them it is another good sign that
suggest that you are feeling lucky these days.
Glass
Very important things are made out of glass.
Amongst them are windows which allow sunshine into our homes,
drinking glasses, seeing glasses, etc. Glass makes our lives more
comfortable and we rarely, if ever give it any thought. Consider
the details of your dreams and try to figure out how this dream
about glass is relevant to you. If glass is shattered in your
dreams it could symbolize breaking of both negative and positive
things. For example it could represent the braking of illusions,
denial and deception. On the more negative side, it could also
represent the shattering of some dream or hope that a person has
been holding close to their heart. Old dream interpretation books
say that looking through a clear glass is a sign of good luck,
and through a dirty glass symbolizes domestic difficulties.
Goat
When interpreting dreams with goats in them,
consider the types of personality characteristics that we
generally give to these animals. We consider them to be sturdy
and tenacious animals. Historically, lambs are sacrificial, and
when we place blame on an individual we may call him a
"scapegoat". Additionally, in pagan mythology goats are
considered to be symbols of sexual vitality. Look at the details
of your dream and see if you can connect any of these
characteristics to yourself or someone else in your daily life.

God
Regardless of whether we believe in a God or
not, all of us have been exposed to the idea of a supreme and
omnipresent being. The dilemma over the existence of God is
probably the most common dilemma of them all. Everyone from time
to time will have a dream about "God". Its symbolism
depends on the dreamer. God in our dreams can be considered a
positive or self affirming symbol. It represent truth, purity and
love. It also represent the creative energy which is abundant in
all of us (whether we know it or not). For a certain amount of
people, in the dream state, God could have negative connotations.
God for them could represent eternal punishment, damnation and
invoke massive amounts guilt. Also See:
Jesus
Gold
It may symbolize anything that you are
currently concerned about and that you greatly value. If you are
losing gold in your dream, it may express your anxieties over a
missed opportunity. However, remember, "All that glitters is
not gold"; your unconscious mind may be reminding you not to
judge things on appearances alone.
Grave/Graveyard
Graves are generally depressing and
represent some form of death. On a very physical level this dream
does not appear to be a very happy omen. However, this dream
could also have deeper and more spiritual meaning. It could
represent things which require deep thinking and are not "on
the surface". Graves could also symbolize the unconscious.
If someone close to you has recently died, it may be normal for
you to have dreams about graveyards and death. However, if this
dream is coming up and there has been no death in the family,
consider your feelings in daily life. If you are feeling
depressed or helpless in any way, "look inside" and
make attempts to increase you self awareness and your spiritual
identity.
Guns
The gun in your dream could represent
several different things, so please pay attention to the details
and to the mood of the dream. The gun could symbolize the male
sex organ, aggression, harshness and fear. This dream may have
sexual connotations, or your unconscious mind may be telling you
not to harbor your feelings, but express them more freely, as
they could become explosive. On the more positive side of things,
the gun could simply represent your need to protect yourself,
either emotionally or physically, or both. If the gun in the
dream is used to hurt or kill you, or someone else, please
consider your current difficulties, hostile feelings or serious
arguments, which may exist between you and others, or in your
environment. Also See: Shooting,
