Packing
This dream, as all dreams,
could have several different meanings. If you are packing your
stuff and storing it, or packing to move you may be concerned
about significant changes that are going on in your life.
Otherwise, your subconscious may be organizing and letting go of
emotional "baggage". Some other interpretations say
that dreaming about packing is simply a hint from your
subconscious that you are involved in too many activities and may
need to pack some of them up and put them away.
Pain
When considering the
interpretation of feeling pain in your dream first look at you
physical health. If you are feeling pain in your daily life, it
may carry over into your dream state. Additionally, if the pain
is emotional in nature, question the painful feelings and attempt
to identify their source. The dream state is usually a safe way
to experience negative feelings that you may not want to deal
with otherwise.
Panic
The feeling of panic suggests
lack of control and confusion. If the primary emotion in your
dream was panic, consider the details and try to understand why
you were panicking. Do you feel fear, a sense of helplessness and
confusion or were you unable to make a quick and accurate
decision? Answering these questions will enable you to understand
the message in this dream.
Paralysis
Dreaming that you or someone
else is paralyzed could be a very scary thing. Depending on the
details of your dream and your current situation in life, there
are several different, but equally, reasonable interpretations.
You may be paralyzed with fear in your dream, which may be
symbolic of the fear that you are experiencing in daily life. You
may feel somewhat unable to change a current situation and it has
manifested itself in your dream, in the form of paralysis. Also,
this dream could be sending you a message of caution. It may be
conveying to you to stay still and do nothing for now, in regard
to a situation that is on your mind and that may be problematic
for you.
Parents
In this dream you may be
expressing feelings and concerns about your parents that you
could not express in daily life. Some believe that this dream
usually has nothing to do with your parents, but rather the male
and female sides of personality. Others believe that the father
represents the expressive, creative and protective side of God
and the mother the receptive and nurturing side of God. See
Mother, Father
Pants
If putting on pants or
changing your pants, was a major activity in your dream you may
be questioning your role (at work or/and in private life). To
better understand this, just think of the expression "who
wears the pants". If your were trying to cover up your
genitalia, then the dream may be bringing up sexual issues.
Peacock
We have all heard the
expression "as proud as a peacock". When you are
dreaming about this bird you may be conveying a message of beauty
and pride. We all know that some pride may be a good thing, but
too much pride is the opposite of humility, which for the most
part, is not good. Consider all of the details of your dream and
try to understand the message. Is the peacock in your dream
beautiful., proud and unassuming, or is he noisy and flaunting
his beauty to all that are willing to look?
Penguin
The penguin is an
interesting, earth bound bird that lives in and around the ocean.
As a dream symbol it may represent concrete thinking, feelings of
being burdened by unwanted emotions, lethargy, and a need to
achieve balance. Penguins just never looked that comfortable to
me, and they don't seem to have a lot of fun. Additionally, if
someone called you a penguin, it would not be considered a
complement. Penguins seem to give off a feeling of being stuck!
Think about your dream and see if any of these ideas are relevant
to you. Superstition based dream interpretation books say that
the penguin indicates that your problems are not as serious as
you may think them to be.
Penis
The male sex organ is symbolic
of fertility, power and energy. Your gender and sexual
orientation play a part when interpreting this dream. Are you
dealing with issues of sexual orientation, power or aggression?
Answering these questions will enable you to interpret your
dream.
People
Usually our dreams are
filled with people. We dream about our families, our friends, our
neighbors and our classmates. We dream about strangers, colleges,
famous people, teachers, and at times, about those that we
consider to be our enemies. Each dream is very special and
carries its own unique message. When interpreting the dream with
people in it, consider all of the details and the feelings in the
dream. If the person is known to you, think about your
relationship with them and the issues that the dream has brought
up. We learn about ourselves through others, and probably our
most valuable possessions are our relationships. Some believe
that the strangers in your dreams represent different parts of
yourself and your personality. Many people believe that their
dreams predict the future. When they have negative or scary
dreams, they become anxious about the future. Alternatively, when
their dreams are a form of wish fulfillment, they get very
excited and are hopeful that the dream will come true. Most
dreams are not prophetic. They are psychological or spiritual in
nature, and their primary function may be to help us live better
in the present moment, rather than telling us about what is to
come. Also See: Ex-boyfriend/girlfriend, Siblings, Child, Parents, Father
Photograph/Picture
Seeing old or even
unfamiliar pictures in your dreams may be a reflection of how you
remember certain parts of your life. The pictures may represent
longing for a time that has passes and is a matter of memory.
However, there are several other type of interpretations that can
be made. Generally this dream may be difficult to interpret and
the dreamer may need to put significant amount of effort into
understanding this dream. Some believe that since a photograph is
a representation of something real, it could represent a
deception of some kind. Someone may be trying to sell something
to you and is covering up the truth, or you may be covering up
the truth from yourself. New age thinking points out that you are
dreaming of pictures because you have not learned a particular
lesson in life. The dream may be pointing out the past and
reminding you that you are making the same errors all over again.
Piano
The piano is a symbol
of music and harmony. It represents creative expression, and all
types of sounds may be uplifting symbols of spiritual awareness.
Superstition based dream interpretation books say that the piano
is an omen of a good financial period in your life, and that
moving a piano represents solid achievements on the part of the
dreamer. Also See: Music, Melody/Song
Pink
Pink usually symbolizes
health and good feelings. It is a traditionally a feminine color,
and some feel that it connotes love. Pink is soft and fuzzy, like
girls!
Pockets
From a Freudian point
of view, pockets may symbolize the female reproductive organs.
However, for many people this dream may have an entirely
different meaning. The pockets in your dreams could represent
those things that you keep just for yourself, your memory, your
secrecy, your valuable possessions, or your inner resources. If
you were hiding your hands in the pockets, it suggests that you
may feel a degree of helplessness or guilt, in regard to a some
situation in daily life.
Police
Dreaming about the
police could symbolize many different things, thus please
consider all of the details carefully. If the police is chasing
you, it suggests that you may be feeling some guilt about
something that you have done, or have been thinking of doing. The
police could be addressing Karmic Law as well as the laws in our
physical world. If you are feeling that you can't meet all of
your obligations and are fearing repercussions due to an unmet
commitment, the police in your dream may be an unwelcome sight.
On a more positive note and depending on the details of your
dream, the police could symbolize support and protection. Your
emotional response to the police will provide you with good clues
to interpreting this dream accurately. Old dream interpretation
books say that dreaming about police is an indication that you
will obtain unexpected assistance with a current problem.
Pool
For many people
swimming pools are associated with summer fun, vocations, rest
and relaxation. Interpret your dream based on its content, and
see if any these positive feelings are being conveyed to you. All
bodies of water represent our emotions and our unconscious. The
light in which they are represented depend on the dreamer and on
the details of the dream. Also See: Water, Ocean, River.
Porcupine
Old dream
interpretation books say the porcupine in your dreams is a omen
of good news and bad news. Good things may happen to you, but
they will carry with them difficulties. From a more pragmatic
point of view, porcupines are cute, but untouchable animals. As a
dream symbol it may represent a situation or a person in your
life that fits that description.
Pregnancy
If you are afraid of being
pregnant, you may dream of it often. At times woman learn about
their pregnancy in their dreams. Your mind knows about everything
that is going on in your body even if you are not consciously
aware of it. But, don't panic! You could also be pregnant with
ideas! Old dream interpretation books say that for a woman to
have a dream about pregnancy is a good omen, and that an
improvement in her intimate relationship is forthcoming. For a
man, it is a warning against casual sex.
Puppy
Puppies may represent
playfulness, dependency and carefree fun. Please look up "Dog" in order to obtain a full range of
