Here's my dream
- I am from Scotland. I dreamt that
I had a couple of worms attached to me. One was on my arm. They seemed
to originate from tiny insects (maybe ants). Someone said I had to
get rid of them as they would attach to my face and I felt a little
anxious about that. My husband pulled them off and said not to worry,
as they were easy to get rid off, "Just get rid off them." The rest
of my dream was about teaching (I am a teacher and will be starting
a new job in a different school after the holidays). The rest of the
dream was okay I think and quite calm. Because I remember this dream
quite well I think it is quite significant. I hope you can help. –
Dear
Dreamer,
Bugs or insects can often be symbolic of something bothering or "bugging" the dreamer. The fact that they originated from tiny insects suggests that you may have allowed tiny worries to grow into bigger issues and problems. Your husband telling you not to worry could be literal in terms of his approach to something you are concerned about. I think the dream is related to your worrying about your new job and is simply showing you that it is not as big of a problem as you are making it into. I hope that helps. –
Here's my dream...
First of all I would like to say thank
you. My background is that I have a boyfriend and we are getting
engaged. The dream is my boyfriend caught a gray fish and put
a red ribbon on it and put it back in the pond. At that time,
I did not see the fish and so I wanted to see that fish and
I could not see it. I asked him where did he drop the fish and
he said that it did not matter because he will always show up
when he comes. And it did as soon as he came the fish jumped
out of the water with the same red ribbon on the fish. The fish
was also jumping with other fish. What does that mean?
Dear Dreamer, One strong
possibility is that the dream suggests your boyfriend has
strong spiritual and/or religious beliefs, and he has set
these beliefs aside for the time being (perhaps feeling
as if you were not ready or willing to hear them). The dream
suggests that he is going to present these beliefs when
he feels the time is right. With this in mind, the two of
you need to sit down and share your religious and spiritual
beliefs - perhaps discussing what kind of role they will
play in raising a family. I hope that helps. –
Here's my dream
- I have looked in several dream interpretation
books and websites with no luck for this dream. I dreamed that
I was a buffalo and was with a herd of buffalo. We were all
searching for food and especially water because where we were
had none of this. I instinctively knew to go over a very steep
mountain to get to some water and led some of the buffalo towards
there. I looked back and noticed that several had decided to
go a different way-across some very arid and dry desert. I told
them they were going the wrong way, but they wouldn't listen
to me. As my group and I continued over the mountain I knew
we would make it to water and plenty of grass and that the several
that broke off across the desert would die. Then I woke up.
Please tell me what this means. Thank you so much!
Dear Dreamer,Buffaloes
can be a symbol of such things as abundance, the past, stubbornness,
and even intimidation (as in to "buffalo" someone). However, because
of the dream imagery you described it appears that the dream has more
to do with some kind of a group with which you are involved (e.g. a
work group, a social group, a family group, or a church group). Using
the possibility of a work group, the dream suggests that there may be
some financial problems at your company or at least problems in terms
of what the company should pursue or where they should be headed. From
this perspective, it seems that you have some ideas that could be helpful
to your company but there are a number of people who stubbornly pursue
the way things use to be done, which is going to entail additional hardship
and them going nowhere. Overall, the dream is about being involved in
some kind of a group in which your ideas may be more helpful than those
of some of the others. –
Here's my dream
- I dreamt of my husband who
was attacked by a lion. He was sitting in the car and I saw a lion approaching
him. I tried to warn him to close the car but it was too late. The lion
attacked him on his shoulders and he was naked after that. I ran to
the mountain and as I ran I saw my brother-in-law killing the lion and
they opened the inside of it.
Dear
Dreamer,
A lion is
generally a symbol for personal power, anger or aggression. The fact
that your husband is attacked and then killed by this symbol may suggest
that he is in danger of being overcome by anger (e.g. his own or someone
else's toward him). The fact that he is in a car when this occurs, suggests
that the attack is associated with his life's direction (e.g. work or
home). Overall, I think the dream is suggesting that he needs to be
very careful of anger or else it may have very serious ramifications
in his home or worklife or both. If your husband has a problem with
anger, he may wish to see a counselor. The presence of your brother-in-law
has several possibilities. It may indicate that your brother-in-law
has a similar problem with anger, or your husband once vented his anger
towards his brother, or your husband's brother-in-law has some positive
personality traits that you wish your husband would adopt instead of
his anger. –
Here's my dream
- I'm a 15-year-old girl. A couple months ago my
dog sweetie died when I was at school (she died at my house) and when
I came home from track practice she was already gone. I was a little
disturbed by this but I went to sleep with her on my mind...that same
night I had a dream. I was wearing my holey pants (there's one hole
on the left knee) my shirt that has a kitten on it saying 'have a
nice day somewhere else', and my good ol' boys car club hat on. I
was watching myself enter my living room where I found her on my living
room table, she lifted her paw up in a sort of begging matter, (she
used to stand on her hind legs as her trademark thing) and immediately
ran up to her crying my eyes out saying things like 'I'm so sorry,
I'm so sorry...' When I picked her up she felt a little cold but she
leaned into me like she was basking into my touch one last time.
Dear Dreamer,
In the same way that we can have real communication with deceased
individuals (see dream archives), we can have the same experience
with our pets who have passed on. My sense is that your dog came to
see you, just to reassure you that he was fine. –
Here's my dream
- I sent this dream before and never got a response, I really need to know what the dream means: I was sitting in my family room that leads to our pool. I looked out the window and there on the pool rail was a crow. He looked hurt and wasn't moving too much. When I looked up again there was a vulture right next to the crow. The vulture seemed as if he was trying to peak and eat the crow. I ran outside and tried to shoo the vulture away but instead of him leaving he came and started to attack me. But after fighting with the bird he finally left. When I turned back around I noticed that the crow wasn't there anymore. The crow fell into my pool and was sinking to the bottom. I went to get a bucket to save the crow but when I came back the poor crow died. Please tell me what my dream means. I don't think having crows and vultures in a dream is a good thing.
Dear Dreamer,
We receive between 150 and 200 dreams a week and sometime have a hard time selecting the most appropriate for the site. Oftentimes in dreams birds are symbols for messengers of some kind. For example, a sparrow is a symbol of spring, a rooster can be symbolic of a new day (or a new beginning), doves can be symbolic of love, a relationship or peace, and so forth. Both crows and vultures are symbolic of a "death" or the ending of something. It is not that someone is literally dying; instead it can suggest that something is coming to an end. With this in mind, the imagery in the dream suggests that something associated with your household may be coming to an end and you don't really want it to come to an end but there doesn't appear to be much that you can do about it. Examples might be: the end of a relationship (e.g. a divorce), having to change jobs or schools, or the end of your present living situation (e.g. a move). I hope that helps. –
Here's my dream
- I am an A.R.E. member and dreamt that I was driving
to work on my usual route. It is a pretty road through fields in an
affluent area. I looked up and saw hundreds of small young monkeys
parachuting to the ground. Each one was holding a large green grasshopper.
I did not know if the grasshopper was going to be their first meal
when they landed, or what they were for. My mother asked me if she
should let my sister (who is retarded) go for a walk back at home
and I said no, they better not go out. I have no idea what this means,
but I don't think it is good.
Dear Dreamer,
The dream has many possible meanings but I think that the fact you were headed to work might indicate that the dream is work-related. Monkeys are often seen as a symbol for chaos or humor or wild, unbridled energy. The fact that they are holding a grasshopper could be a timing indicator suggesting the late spring or the summer. The fact that they are parachuting from the sky suggests that their arrival has already been determined in someone's head. [Things in the air can often be associated with ideas and plans.] Taken together, I think that the dream may be suggesting that some kind of major change is going to occur at your work. This change may entail some kind of arrival of younger, new executives who are going to create chaos, or it might suggest that "monkey-business" in terms of plans or ideas are about to rain down havoc on your work life. Overall, the sense is that something chaotic or just unbridled foolishness may be headed your way at work. –
Here's my dream
- I had a dream where my daughter was
eaten by a snake. My daughter is 7years old.
Dear Dreamer,
Since your daughter is too young for puberty, the dream may be suggesting one of two things: either your relationship with a male is taking time away from your daughter (e.g. "eating it all up), or there may be a male who is excessively controlling or verbally criticizing your daughter. You are probably best able to judge what the real situation is about. –
Here's my dream - As background information, I am currently
suffering a health problem that scares me. In the dream, I'm swimming
in a swimming pool. I'm scared and anxious about something. I raise
my right hand above the water and I am alarmed to discover a large
green python has bitten my right hand and was still holding on biting
it. I had to work hard to extricate its fangs from me but I managed
to. It wasn't a poisonous snake.
Dear Dreamer,
There are a number of options, here's one that appears likely.
In the dream the emotion you feel about being scared and anxious
is probably a similar emotion to how you feel in terms of your
health situation. With this in mind, the dream may be about
your health. Fangs biting into a person are often associated
with words spoken or biting criticism. A snake can be symbolic
of a number of things, such as the caduceus (and healing), temptation,
the energy of kundalini, and oftentimes a male energy. With
all of this in mind, the dream might be indicating that part
of your health care problem is associated with ongoing criticism
from a controlling male, and you may need to extricate yourself
from the situation in order to heal it. –
Here's my dream - My 12-year-old
daughter dreamed about doves twice in one week on two different nights.
On the first night in the first dream she said God was walking through
a garden, when he got to the lake there was a basket he opened the basket
and lots of white doves flew from the basket. In the second dream (a
different night) both God and myself (the mother of the dreamer) were
walking towards a basket by the lake this time both God and I opened
the basket filled with white doves and the doves flew from the basket.
Please interpret this dream for my daughter to give her some understanding
what it may mean. Thank you in advance.
Dear Dreamer,
Doves can have many meanings, some of which are dependent upon
how the dreamer feels or thinks about doves. Generally, a dove
can symbolize peace, love, freedom or even spirituality (as
in the Holy Spirit). With this in mind, the dream seems to be
one of reassurance or encouragement for your daughter, either
suggesting that she has some sort of spiritual connection with
the Divine, or perhaps suggesting the love, peace, or freedom
she craves is within her grasp. Regardless of the personal meaning,
it appears to be a very positive sign. You might ask her what
doves mean to her and then get to the heart of the dream from
that approach. –
Here's my dream - As a young man I frequently
had the following recurring dream: I dreamt that a vicious wolf was
following me, trying to nip at my feet and legs. In order to stay out
of harms way, somehow I was able to float just above the ground, like
I was in a cloud of some kind. Repeatedly I dreamt that the wolf was
trying to bite me and somehow I was able to avoid getting bitten. Any
help you could provide as to what this dream might have meat would be
greatly appreciated.
Dear Dreamer,One
possibility suggested by the dream is that as a young person
you were frequently in a situation in which you felt belittled,
criticized or condemned by someone around you (e.g. a parent,
a teacher, an authority figure). The snapping jaws of the wolf
would correspond to this overly critical individual. In order
to cope with this situation, the imagery suggests that you spent
a lot of time in your head (e.g. floating above the ground).
I hope this helps. –
Here's my dream - I have been in the largest jumble
of depression and confusion lately. I am a quiet person that is concerned
in finding a soulmate. At the same time, it's hard for me to talk
to most people around me. A friend and I are very close to God and
have very strong spiritual beliefs. The average person usually shuns
me for being different. I dreamt that I was in my room. I was very
tired and just wanted to lie around in my bed. At one point, I got
up and stood by my window. Shocked and frightened to see a giant black
bear out on the roof. Immediately upon seeing me, the bear burst in
through the window. I am in terror, got so scared that I don't know
how I got out of the mess! Each time I would lay back down on my bed
hopping to get some sleep. But if I wiggled and squirmed the bear
always saw me and would bother me again. This happened several times.
The bear never mauled or hurt me, rather it was just always curious
of me. The only thing is it terrified me to death each time! Finally
after one of the encounters, I jumped and wedged myself as close to
the wall and the edge of my bed as I possibly could. I could feel
the warmth and comfort of my bed, but I just froze. My plan was to
not move no matter what happened. Assuming correctly, the bear entered
again, jumped up on my bed and stalled. I couldn't move an inch. I
could have sworn that I was holding my breath but I heard this breathing.
I could feel my face, and my entire body becoming hot in fear. Yet
I was afraid to open my eyes in concern of what the breathing noise
I heard was all about! I couldn't figure it out. Finally in fear,
and the fact that I knew logically these things couldn't happen. I
decided to make myself wake up. The only thing that scared me the
most was what really is making that breathing noise? I concluded that
the breathing was actually me. Please help me!
Dear Dreamer,The
black bear is a symbol of your depression. It might also suggest
that part of your depression is somehow connected to anger.
The fact that the bear first appears on the roof suggests that
this depression is often on your mind, and you may often wonder,
How am I going to get out of this? The fact that your plan is
to not move in the dream suggests that you haven't yet gotten
a handle on your depression or really been able to do what you
need to do to change it. The fact that you realize that the
breathing is actually you could indicate that your depression
is connected to your own thought processes (or alternatively
your physical body). Since the dream is showing you that you
survive each time, I think it is an indicator that ultimately
you will be okay but that you really need to find a way to help
yourself in the present. If your present counselor isn't being
helpful, find another one. Let me also recommend that you have
a chemical test to see if your body chemistry is somehow contributing
to the depression. In terms of finding a relationship, continue
to work on healing your depression (and anger, if there is any).
Let me also recommend the book, Edgar Cayce on Soul Mates,
by Kevin Todeschi. Good luck to you. –
Here's my dream - My 5-year-old daughter has been having
these recurring dreams about tarantula spiders. Since my daughter
and I live alone, we still sleep in the same bed together. Almost
on a weekly basis, she wakes up in the middle of the night trying
to brush the tarantulas off her pillow or the bed. She tells
me, in her sleep, that they are on her pillow or on her side
of the bed. She has even tried to lie on top of me, saying that
she can’t sleep on her side because there are too many
tarantulas. I’ve questioned her many times about these
dreams, trying to figure out if they are really tarantulas or
just big spiders and she is sure that they are not just big
spiders. I looked in the dream dictionary on this site and it
mentioned that one possible interpretation is being smothered
by a mother. I hate to admit this, but being that I am the only
family member she has, and she is my one and only child, it
is safe to say that I probably do smother her sometimes. I have
also read in other dictionaries that dreaming of tarantulas
can portend coming illness or worries about health. From the
time she was born, she has suffered from asthma, recurring colds,
and other respiratory ailments. What could these dreams mean?
She has them so often, I know they mean something and I’m
very worried about that.
Dear Dreamer,
In addition to some of the things you have cited, spiders can
also represent criticism or (in a child’s mind) a bully
of some kind. If this is the case, the dream could suggest that
she was either being challenged by someone always correcting
her or perhaps she is afraid of another child at preschool.
Of course, you can help her by getting her to describe what
goes on in her day when you are not around. In addition, it
might work for you to give her paper and crayons and ask her
to draw the spiders and, once they’ve been drawn, ask
her to describe where they came from or how they got there.
You can also work with pre-sleep suggestion, which was frequently
suggested by the Edgar Cayce material: as your daughter is drifting
off to sleep, speak reassuring words, tell her that she is safe
in her own home, tell her what a good girl she is, and so forth.
Additional information regarding the Cayce information on child
rearing can be found at this link: http://www.edgarcayce.org/youth_family/youth_family.html.
Finally, information on asthma is also available from the Cayce
files on the Web site:www.edgarcayce.org.
However, you might be interested to known that “being
smothered” by something can also facilitate asthma. It
may really be a good time to get your daughter her own bedroom
and her own room. Good luck to you both. –
Here's my dream - I was taking a nap this afternoon and
I had a dream that I was at a house (not mine) and the next
door neighbors had a bunch of children outside playing when
the man started to yell, “Look it’s a bird, a great
big bird.” At first I thought he said bear but I could
not see a bear. Then when I looked up I saw a huge eagle. He
was beautiful and he was flying so gracefully. The lady gave
me what I thought were binoculars but it was a movie cam. I
could not see the eagle with the cam, yet when I looked with
my naked eye, I could see him just as clear as can be. I couldn't’t
believe how big he was, and it was a bald eagle also. I could
see his snow-white head and beautiful black feathers. I was
so excited! He filled me with a sense awe, and peace. What does
it mean?
Dear Dreamer,An
eagle is an archetypal symbol for the thymus or heart center.
It is also a symbol for love. My sense is that the sense of
awe and peace you felt is associated with some kind of “love”
that has or is about to enter your life. This could be love
associated with a relationship, love associated with doing what
is really important to you, or love that is connected to some
kind of personal spiritual search. –
Here's my dream - Before going to sleep one night, I asked the question, “What is my purpose in life?” I had a dream in which my mother was telling me of a dream she had before I was born. She said she dreamt of seven white unicorns with red eyes that were lacking a heart. Recently, I had been looking up some dream interpretations and came across unicorns, so maybe that was why I dreamed of them. Otherwise I would be taking this dream very seriously. Do archetypal symbols like unicorns just pop into dreams if they had passed through the conscious mind recently?
Dear Dreamer,
First of all, as background information, dreams have a meaning
regardless of whether or not the same information was on the
conscious mind of the dreamer before falling asleep. For example,
if you are watching a scary movie about mummies and them dream
about mummies, the dream still has a relevant meaning –
your subconscious mind just has to filter what it is trying
to bring to your awareness through the imagery of mummies. With
that in mind, unicorns are often symbolic of innocence, purity,
virginity, or metaphysical topics. White is also suggestive
of innocence or purity. The number seven can correspond to spirituality
or personal transformation. The heart is obviously connected
to personal emotions. With this as the relevant symbolism, I
think your dream may be suggesting that one of your purposes
in life is to open up emotionally and to work on your own spiritual
purification and transformation. Good luck to you. –
Here's my dream - I am a girl, and another girl whom I have a crush on are in the rainforest and we live in a hut. In the dream we’re crossing a bridge and I get over it fine but my friend starts to get threatened by an alligator, and she is screaming to me for help. But there's nothing I can do.
Dear Dreamer,
One possibility suggested by the dream is that your friend may
be hypersensitive to the biting remarks and comments that some
might have if she discussed being in a lesbian relationship.
Whereas you seem to be fine with the situation and your relationship,
she might be much more cautious than you. In any event, this
might be a topic that the two of you could discuss. –
Here's my dream - I’ve had a fear of spiders for as long as I can remember but they never were subjects in my dreams until this year. Usually twice a month I have a nightmare involving a spider. It is crawling on the ceiling, heading straight for me at a quick pace. As it approaches I am frozen with fear and cannot move. Once it gets right above my head I am once again able to move and I jump out of bed, which is the point where I wake up. Only in real life I have jumped out of my bed and I have to turn my light on and check for spiders. In the dream it is always the same ugly black spider except he seems to get bigger with every dream. Please help me understand this nightmare.
Dear Dreamer,
For many people, a spider can be a symbol of something that
is “bugging or biting” them. Because culturally
we are familiar with Black Widow spiders, a spider can also
be a symbol of an aggressive or cruel female. However, in your
case you told us that for you spiders are something you fear.
In the dream imagery the spider is overhead getting closer and
closer to you – looming ever larger in the process. With
this in mind, I think the spider is associated with something
you have been worrying about that is appearing to become a happening
in your life (e.g. a problem at work, at home, or in your personal
life). Whatever you are worrying about is manifesting as the
spider dream. If this is the case, as soon as the issue has
passed or been solved, the spider dreams will most likely disappear.

Here's my dream - I have checked the archives and have not seen anything that speaks of elephants. In my dream, I am walking along and two baby elephants come walking up to me. I have no idea where they came from, or why they are not afraid of me. Nor do I know where their mother is. After I process all of this information, and have decided that I need to tend to these little ones, I begin walking, with them following me, to go get whatever supplies I need to feed baby elephants, when here come two more babies, younger that the first two. I pat them down, check them to make sure they are okay, and then again begin my walk to get supplies for 4 elephants. And you guessed it, here come two more that are younger than the others. They are so small/young that I am amazed they can even walk. I find myself wondering how did these elephants pass the word so quickly that they had found someone to take care of them. My dream ends with me in the feed store trying to buy bottles and nipples to fee d them. –
Dear Dreamer,
In western culture and elephant is often symbolic of memory
or something that one should not forget. Since these are baby
elephants, they may be suggestive of small projects or ideas
that you have sometimes “nurtured” in your mind
but not necessarily followed through on taking care of in real
life. In other words, these elephants seem to be things that
you have considered doing and now your dream is suggesting that
the time has come to take care of these projects and follow-through
with them. Just as an aside, in Hinduism the elephant is symbolic
of wisdom and enlightenment, because the god Ganesh is often
portrayed as an elephant. I hope that helps.–
Here's my dream - I am a 47-year-old female and had this dream in Greece. I dreamt that I was dressed as a soldier in army fatigues with a group of other soldiers with backpacks. We boarded a ferryboat to cross the river – a big river. When I saw on our ferryboat it had two llamas on it and one was trying to jump overboard. The commander told me I must go and try to calm my llama down. I remember it was screaming, I started to go to the animal when I woke up. I am very confused about this dream.
Dear Dreamer,Because
of their hump and protective coat of hair, a llama can be symbolic
of someone that is holding his or her emotions inside or that
is trying to be protected from the outside world. The river
can also be symbolic of some kind of emotional journey. From
the rest of the dream’s imagery, and the fact there are
two llamas, I think the dream is suggesting that there may have
been some kind of a relationship problem or argument (symbolized
by the army fatigues) that has caused someone a great deal of
anxiety and unhappiness (symbolized by the screaming llama),
and that you have been trying to “fall in line”
and get on with your life. An alternate interpretation is that
external events have caused a couple to undertake some kind
of activity or journey that they really don’t want to
do. I hope that helps. –
Here's my dream - I have written to you before about this dream and I am having it again. I need help in understanding it. I am dreaming about spiders, but these spiders are jeweled spiders. In one dream, a spider was coming down from the ceiling heading for my forehead. It was composed of Rubies and diamonds and I was afraid of it at first but then as it got closer its beauty mesmerized me. It did not seem to act in a mechanical way. The Rubies and Diamonds seemed fluid and the spider moved naturally. I woke before it touched my forehead. Later in the same month, I dreamed of hundreds of spiders running around in my bedroom. They were composed of pearls of all sizes. Again they moved in a fluid natural way, and I was again afraid of getting out of bed because I did not want to be bitten. As I watched them, I noticed they were sensitive to me and my movements and I become more confident about getting out of bed. I woke up before my foot touched the floor. In the third dream, the spiders are composed of Amethysts, Rubies and Diamonds, fluid and natural, and are coming at me down the walls. Fear is first, then fascination. I always wake up before contact. Can you help me understand what this means? Thanks so much.
Dear Dreamer,
Spiders can be associated with such things as something irritating
or “biting.” They can also be connected to female
energy. Sometimes they might be symbolic of intrigue or secrecy.
With the above in mind, it appears that something that once
looked scary and threatening has become more intriguing and
appealing. The preponderance of jewels in the dream could by
symbolic of personal talents or a relationship. If I had to
guess, I would say that the dream is suggesting that a relationship
or a talent that once frightened you now appears appealing.
I hope that helps. –
Here's my dream - In my dream I am in an apartment that
is small and cluttered. I open a door and I find a room that
I didn't know existed. The room was larger and it opened up
into a nice pool. I was about to go swimming in this pool and
I noticed large turtles swimming in the pool. Well I thought
to myself, I can’t go in now and then I woke up. What
do the turtles represent? I couldn't find anything in the archives
about turtles. Thank you.
Dear Dreamer,
A turtle can be symbolic of longevity, the subconscious, something
that is slow and methodical, or personal insecurity. The image
of the small and cluttered apartment suggests that you may have
a very confined viewpoint about yourself, your talents, your
direction, etc. This could be about low self-esteem or it might
be the image of a cluttered mind. The previously unexplored
room is suggesting that there much more to you that you have
heretofore given yourself credit for. –
