Dream Symbols


Dream symbols are a common way of interpretating dreams, but you should always use the events in your life to base these on, for instance, if I dream of falling, and you dream of falling, the meanings can be completely different, go on what you feel falling represents in your own life. These are just a few symbols, if you know of any, please feel free to submit them in the dreambook we will update regularly.

Accident... To dream of an accident may come from actual memories of being in an accident or from a fear of being in an accident. It can also represent that one is heading for a "crack-up" in one's life. Vehicles often represent the physical body, thus when a car crashes, it could be a sign of a physical problem or anxieties about health. On a good note, accidents can represent a part of one's life that is being let go of.

Aggression... Aggression in a dream may represent ego or sexual needs, especially if the dreamer is the aggressor. More so, the aggression dream can mean that there is alot of conflict in the dreamer's life that needs to be tended to.

Animals... This symbol is a highly complex symbol, because different animals mean different things. Alot has to do with how the dreamer feels about the animal that was drempt about. If you dream of a "beastlike creature", it generally means you are dreaming of the "beast" in yourself, or "beastlike" people in your life.
