Hair
Hair is valued and highly regarded by most cultures.
It is a point of vanity, security, sensuality, sexual appeal, and
a symbol of youth. In some cultures women are not allowed to show
their hair outside their homes. Wealthy men go through painful
surgery, and spend thousands of dollars to replace lost hair
follicles. Needless to say, hair is a valuable dream symbol. It
represents physical and spiritual strength. Samson's hair was the
source of his strength and virility. In our dreams hair can
represent our thoughts, knowledge and our reasoning processes.
White or gray hair represents age and wisdom, and body hair may
symbolize protection and warmth. When interpreting this dream,
make attempts to identify the primary issue and connect it to a
situation in your daily life. Also See: Beard
Hands
We express ourselves with our hands, so if in you dream you
see clenched fists you may have much repressed anger. Extended
hands indicate that you are needing and willing to develop close
friendships. If the hands in your dreams are stroking, you may be
feeling sexy.
Happiness
If you are currently experiencing sadness, this dream may be
a psychological compensation and a positive way of comforting
yourself. Traditionally, if you dream of being really happy you
need to look around you to make sure that you are not overlooking
anything (including your health). Dreaming of happy children is
always a good omen.
Hats
Hats are usually symbolic of power and authority. Look at the
details in your dream, including who is wearing the hat. The type
and quality of the hat usually represents the degree of authority
and respect that your unconscious mind is giving to the person
wearing it.
Heaven
It represents all of those things that most people
hope for. Some of us may not be convinced of its existence, but
all of us have definite ideas about what heaven should be like.
In your dreams it may symbolize happiness, peace, understanding,
rest, love, union with God and man, and many more positive
things. Some people work for a "heaven on Earth", and
others believe that there are many different heavens and in their
dreams they visit those place through soul travel. Whatever your
belief system or your dream experience, this dream usually leaves
you feeling good and generally energized.
Hole
Holes, as all other dream symbols can only be appropriately
interpreted by considering all of the details, and the emotional
content of the dream. Holes in socks, clothing, furniture, etc.
may represent feelings of faultiness or lack. You may be bringing
your attention to the fact that there is something missing, or in
need of repair in your life. At times holes can represent the
female sex organs. Dark holes can symbolize the great
"unknown", the entrance to the unconscious, or if there
are many negative or frightening feelings associated with this
dream, you may be becoming aware of some problematic or
troublesome situation in your life.
Homosexuality
Sex in many different forms is frequently the topic
of dreams. Sexual dreams don't always have sexual meaning. They
are at times about power, control, identity and other non sexual
issues of life. If you are homosexual, dreams regarding this
particular sexual orientation are not atypical. They are simply
the extension of your thoughts and feelings, in the form that is
the most familiar and meaningful to you. If a heterosexual person
is having a homosexual dream it may have a variety of
connotations. The interpretation of this dream (as with all
others) is very personal and generalizations are difficult to
make. This dream may be about loving yourself, especially if the
other individual in your dream is a stranger. The dream may be
about integrating ideas and attitudes, and in a few, rare cases
may be about sexual orientation. Sexual dreams are either wish
fulfillment (compensatory dreams), or have nothing to do with sex
at all, but rather are about issues mentioned above. Also

Honey
Sweet experiences and good health are in your subconscious
and most likely in your life.
Horse
The horse is a noble and powerful animal. As a dream
symbol it can represent a wide range of positive thoughts and
ideas, about self or others. Depending on the details of the
dream, horses can symbolize freedom, power and sexual energy. At
times, they can also be considered messengers, relaying
information from the unconscious to the conscious, from the
spiritual to the physical. If you are horseback riding, it
suggests that you are self assured and feel a sense of control in
your daily life. Old dream interpretation books say that the
color of the horse is also significant. (Remember that this is
based on superstition.) Black horses are said to point out
delays, white horses are reinforcing the positive and
transformative aspects of life, gray horses may point to
the difficulties in the dreams current situation, Piebald
horses are symbolic of confusion, brown horses of
mental pursuits and tan horses are said to be symbolic of
love and sex.
House
It is common to dream about houses. They usually symbolize
our emotional and psychological selves. Pay attention to the
details in this dream and you may learn a thing or two about
yourself. Also See: Kitchen, Bathroom, Attic
Hurricane
Dreaming about being in a hurricane, or if a
hurricane is approaching, usually suggests that the dreamer is
going through sudden and unpleasant changes in his life. It
indicates that there is an emotional storms in the dreams life,
or on the horizon. Old dream interpretation books consider
hurricane dreams to be dreams of warning, and recommend that the
dreamer does not take any unnecessary risks. Additionally, if you
are uncertain about doing something, don't do anything at all! Also
