Some people believe that in our dreams with meet up with the deceased on the inner planes and engage in "real" interactions with them.

The interpretation of this behavior depends on your circumstances and on the details of the dream (this is true for all dreams). Digging is generally considered to be difficult work, or hard labor. You could be "digging" around for the truth, or trying to get to the bottom of things. Alternately, you could be "digging your own grave". Thus, consider your feelings in the dream and the type of ground that you were digging in. Were you working a difficult area, or digging in fertile soil? See also: Dirt.

Dinosaurs

They are fascinating, sometimes lovable, dangerous, and alive only in our imaginations and history. Consider all of the details of this dream and try to tie these ideas to some aspect of your life. The dinosaur, weather you have given it a positive or negative connotation, refers to something in the past, or to a part of your personality which has changed and you no longer use.

Dirt/Earth

Dreaming about dirt, as in something dirty could represent several different things. It could reflect you state of mind, or a situation from your daily life. It could symbolize a relationship, a business venture, or any other part of your life, where you (or someone else) have been less than honest and honorable. Dirt in your dreams could also represent your unwholesome attitudes and a somewhat devious state of mind. This dream, depending on its details may be encouraging you to clean up "your act" inside and out. Dreaming about soil and the earth, usually symbolizes fertility and the potential to grow. Rich soil may be an indication that the time is right for work and new beginnings. Dreaming about dry, barren soil, may be a reflection of your negative mood. It may include feelings of depression, or general feelings of boredom and emptiness.

Disasters

Dreaming about natural disasters, such as earthquakes and floods, is not that uncommon. People usually have these dreams at a time when there are many changes going on in their lives. Most people have ambivalent feelings about change, and some resist even positive changes. Thus,quick shifts in life styles or some type of a crisis, may bring about dreams of natural disasters. Please look up a specific disaster by name. Also See: Flood, Earthquake, Tornado.

Disease

The word disease literally means out of ease. Before you begin to interpret this dream on a psychological or metaphysical level, first check your health. The dream could refer to physical or emotional health. Also see: Illness

Diving

Finally, Freud thought that diving may have sexual connotations and represents intercourse.

Doctor

Dreaming about a doctor may represent a need for physical, emotional or spiritual healing. Doctors are generally respected authority figures and we usually follow their advice and guidance in regard to our well being. Depending on your belief system, the doctor in your dream could also represent you higher self or inner guidance. If you are currently experiencing a health problem and doctors are a part of your daily/weekly life, this dream may be symbolic of real life difficulties. However, the dream is most likely based on a past event, or memory, rather than a prediction of the future.

Dog

A dog or dogs in your dream could symbolize a large variety of ideas orconcepts. Carefully consider all of the details and the mood in your dream. First, if you have a dog, it may be natural to dream about him. We become emotionally attached to our dogs, and we dream about them just like we dream about anything else that is important to us. Otherwise, consider all of the connotations that have been given to dogs. Dogs could symbolize loyalty and hard work. If someone calls you a dog, it's a negative reflection on your personality. If you are being treated like a dog, you are most likely being abused in some way. On the metaphysical level, dogs are consider to be the guards of the underworld, and for the dreamer they may be bringing up some messages from the unconscious. Finally, dogs could represent the more basic or "animal" parts of ourselves, and some think that they specifically represent male energy.

Dolphin

Dolphins represent friendliness, communal living, rescue, communication and affection. They are water dwelling mammals and in our dreams they may represent our willingness and our ability to navigate through our emotions. They may also represent positive messages from our unconscious minds. Dolphins may represent a positive connection between consciousness and those parts of ourselves that are a mystery to us. Also See: Water, Whale.

Donkey

Dreaming about this interesting, but at times amusing animal, may have several different and opposing interpretations. Therefore, it is very important that you pay attention to the details and the emotional tone of the dream. A donkey may represent humility, honor and "royalty" in disguise. On the opposite end of things, it may symbolize stubbornness and an unyielding personality. Also, it may represent a person who has many burdens and carries a "heavy load". Either way, the individual symbolized by the donkey has redeeming qualities which include ruggedness, endurance, and loyalty.

Door

Doors are passageways and in our dreams they hold that symbolism. Going thorough a door may represent going form one state of consciousness to another, or from one inner plane to another. If the doors are locked or closed it may represent opportunities that are not currently available to you, or obstacles. Many doors may represent choices that you are currently faced with.

Dragon

This large mystical creature may represent large and mystical forces inside of yourself. In the East it is believed that the dragons are spiritual creature that navigate through the air, and through the sky. In the West dragons were considered to be dangerous creatures that needed to be destroyed. As far as dream symbols go, the dragon may represent the enormous power in your unconscious. It could symbolize repressed unconscious material, including fear. However, the dragon in our dream is generally a positive symbol. It may represent a period of time when the dreamer will confront his fears and empower himself to effectively cope with negative emotions, extreme materialism, and will obtain greater inner and outer freedom.

Drowning

This is a very common dream and one that can invoke a great amount of fear. However, it may have positive significance. This dream may suggest to the dreamer that he is overwhelmed by unresolved emotions, old issues, or a current crisis. It suggests that a release of the old is necessary in order to emerge and begin anew. This dream serves to awaken the dreamer to consciously embrace and begin to effectively cope with problems and negativity in his life.

Duck

The duck is a very interesting bird, and the symbolism that it conveys is generally positive. Ducks are well adopted to navigate and survive on land and in the water. They can swim, walk and fly. Ducks are flexible and multi-talented. Dreaming about this bird suggests that you, or someone else in your life, is very flexible and can competently deal with emotional issues. Superstition based dream interpretations say that ducks are very good omens, and that you will "float" above and away from your current difficulty. See Also: Animals, Birds

E

Eagle

Dreaming about this powerful bird suggests that your subconscious may foresee a time of prosperity and success, as well as liberation from tedium. However if this bird attacks or scares you, prepare yourself for hard work with determination.

Ear/earring

Your subconscious mind may be telling you to become more attentive and pay attention to suggestions and even rumors that you are hearing. Either way, good listening skills are a source of information, which enable us to respond more appropriately to the world around us. Earrings are accessories, and since all that glitters is not gold, this dream may be telling you to spend time getting to know new people and not to depend heavily on initial impressions.

Eating

To interpret this dream adequately you need to take into consideration all the details in the dream, including what type of food you are eating. Eating usually symbolizes comfort, pleasure and love. If you are eating alone, you may be experiencing some feelings of loneliness in daily life. If you are dreaming about eating with others, some may say that it suggests an increase in prosperity and resources. If you are sharing a meal with someone of the opposite sex, you may have a desire to develop a relationship with that person and possibly engage in intimacy.

Earthquake

Unlike some of the other dreams about natural disasters, earthquakes usually symbolize parts of the dreamers physical reality, rather than his emotional life. The earthquake in the dream may be representing financial difficulties, health issues, or any number of other problems that could occur in daily life. An experience that is "shaking" you up, and changing you daily life, could be creeping into your dream state and showing up as an earthquake. Also See: Disaster

Elephant

An elephant in your dream may represent knowledge, power, and strength It is also associated with long memory and "thick skin". However, depending on the dream's details, the elephant may be a symbol of a large burden. Additionally, in you dream state you may be making efforts to remember something important and of great magnitude.

Elevator

Going up and down in the elevator may symbolize going from one state of consciousness to another. Messages from the unconsciousness may be accessible. Some believe that the elevator may be a symbol of a boring and mechanical sex life. On a more pragmatic note, the elevator may simply represent the "ups and downs" of life. If you are ascending then you may perceive your current situation as optimistic and moving upward. If you are descending you may be experiencing some negativity and helplessness.

Envelope

Mail or letters, usually come in envelops. When we see envelops in our dreams, we are typically dreaming about receiving news, information, or messages from someone specific, or from the world in general. If you are the individual that looks forward to mail, this dream may have positive connotations for you. However, if you dread the envelopes which typically hold the monthly bills, then this dream may have negative and anxiety provoking meaning for you. Typically however, dreaming about receiving letters has positive, and at times spiritual connotations. You may be coming into awareness about some aspect of your life, where you make new realizations and get to the "truth" of things. Some believe that seeing many unopened envelopes in your dreams, may represent missed opportunities.

Ex-boy/girlfriend

It is very common for people to dream about ex partners. Individuals that have been an important part of our lives, continue to take up a part of our mind and heart. It is impossible to very dramatically shut the person out of our thoughts and feelings. Just because the relationship ends, does not mean that all is finished. As we go through relationships, we learn, and at times pick up "battle wounds". You will continue to dream about your ex-girlfriend or boyfriend until you "let go" of them on a very important and deep level, or until you learned your lesson from that relationship. Either way, dreaming about your ex-romance does not predict future involvement. It may be wish fulfillment, reliving memories, or working out old issues. Dreams are very rarely prophetic.

Eye

This complex dream symbol can only be interpreted based on the dreamers experiences and the details in the dream (as is the case with all dream symbols). Some say that the eyes are the windows for the soul. Eyes symbolize perceptiveness, personal outlook, clairvoyance, curiosity and knowledge. They also may reveal information about personal identify. Traditionally, if the eyes are beautiful they represent peace. Closed eyes are said to represent fear and an unwillingness to see clearly. Crossed eyes may be a subconscious warning about someone's character or integrity.

Eyeglasses

If the person in the dream normally wears eyeglasses, then this symbol is a reflection of daily life. However, if the person does not wear glasses or the glasses are the focal point in the dream, several interpretations could be made. You may need to do a "reality check", or ask yourself if you are seeing the world through "rose colored glasses". Either way, your subconscious mind may be encouraging you to make an attempt to see things more clearly.

F

Faces

It is very common to dream about familiar faces, as well as the faces of strangers. Interpret the dream, by considering the face and the general content of the dream. Stranger's face could represent different parts of our personality, or psyche. You think that you are seeing a stranger, but in actuality you are seeing a different part of yourself. A comic face may indicate that you have conscious or unconscious need to mock or snub the conventional. Featureless faces suggest that you may feel unnoticed and unappreciated. On the other hand, some believe that the blank or unclear face represents a teacher. Someone that is there to show you something or teach you a lesson. Smiling faces are representative of happy thoughts and feelings, and possibly anticipation of a joyful event in the near future.

Falling

This is a common dream which usually represents underlying fears and feelings of inadequacy and helplessness. Interpret your dream by considering your primary fears and current difficulties. Especially, those situations that seem somewhat outside of your control (financial, romantic,etc.). Superstition based dream interpretations say that if you fall a long distance in your dream and get hurt, be prepared for really hard times a head, but if you fall and do not get injured your upsets will be minor and temporary.

Father

Dream can be looked at on several different levels. You may be dreaming about your father and expressing your feeling, about him or toward him, in a safe way. Traditionally a father dream can be seen as symbolizing authority and power. In your dream you are expressing you attitude about your strengths and weaknesses, as they relate to your position in life, and your general attitude toward society.

Fear

If you are experiencing great fear in your dreams, you are having nightmares. These types of dreams are positive because your unconscious mind is trying to tell you something. If your have repressed issues, they are coming to the surface. Think about the fear in your dreams and try to be honest with yourself. Face your fears, as a great American president once said, "There is nothing to fear, but fear itself".

Feces

Dreams containing feces may be odd, but they are not uncommon. Feces represent those things which you no longer need. Things which are currently garbage or waste and need to be discarded. Generally, this dream may represent healthy psychological progress. It may indicate that you are cleansing yourself of unnecessary and possibly hurtful attitudes, ideas and emotions. In some cultures people believe that if you are dreaming about feces you will soon prosper financially (feces in the dream means money in the hand). Also See: Defecation.

Feet

For some people, dreaming about feet can be a very sexy dream. Besides sexual connotations, they can represent your ability to move forward in life. Dreams with feet in them point to how well you are balanced and grounded.

Fences

May represent your level of self control. Maybe you need more or less of it. Additionally, this dream may express your need for privacy or connote feelings of being trapped. The details of this dream are vital to its interpretation, including your feelings while having the dream.

Fighting

It usually symbolized anger and confusion which comes about in times of change. If nothing is changing in your life, it may be a clue that a change is needed or that you trying to change internally.

Fire

This is a very complex symbol, which can have both negative and positive connotations. When interpreting this dream, you need to consider all of its details and your emotional responses in the dream. Fire can be a deeply spiritual symbol, representing transformation and enlightenment. On the other hand it could represent danger, anger, passion, pain or fear. Is the fire in your dream destroying something or simply warming you? Are you currently engaging in negative behaviors, or are knowingly making wrong (or destructive) choices? Your subconscious mind may be warning you, and at the same time encouraging you to alter those things in your life which may be hurtful and dangerous.

Fish

Some people believe that when you dream about fish you will soon find out that you or someone you know is pregnant (waters of the womb). Others believe that if you see fish in your dreams it is a forecast for sickness and poor health. In Christianity, Christ is at times represented by the fish symbol (spirituality). These water dwelling animals may represent messages from our unconscious, and indicate to us how well we navigate through our emotional waters. They could symbolize body and soul nourishment, and navigation through the unknown depths of ourselves.

Floating

Floating in water can be symbolic of floating on top of your emotions and in harmony with the unconscious. Floating through the air has the same symbolism as flying. Floating usually represents your current feelings of peacefulness and general freedom.

Flowers

When we look at flowers, most of us feel some joy and aliveness. At the very least we, appreciate their beauty and see their value. Flowers are beautiful and in our dreams they could represent the simplest feelings of contentment to the deepest feelings of spiritual unfoldment. The colors could symbolize the psychic centers in our bodies, called chakras. Flowers also represent hope and positive growth, along with simplicity, innocence and possibly virginity.

Flood

Floods are caused by heavy rain and the melting of snow. Water in any form, including rain and snow, symbolizes emotions. Dreaming abut being in a flood is an indication that the dreamer is currently experiencing powerful emotions, and may at times be overwhelmed by them. The flood in your dream could represent a very powerful, or even violent, emotionally cleansing experience. But don't worry, just like in an actual flood, waters reside and so do emotions. Depending on the content of the dream and your emotional experience in it, the flood could also represent sexuality, and be a sexual dream symbol. Also See: Disaster

Flies

These insects are annoying and they take away from the enjoyment of any moment or situation. Consider the details of your dream and try to figure out if these flies represent anything in your daily life. They could symbolize people and things that get in your way, or they could mean that you are currently experiencing annoyance and frustration. Consider whether your are successfully getting rid of the flies in your dream, or whether they are overwhelming you. This may give you a clue as to how well you are coping with distraction and frustration.

Flying

Dreams of flying are very common and most people can recall having flown in a dream or two. There are many ideas as to what this means. Some people believe that flying in our dreams can be an actual out of body experience. That we go to places on this physical plane as well as into the inner planes (mostly the Astral). Edgar Cayce thought that this Astral travel may be a precursor to becoming lucid in a dream. Carl Jung's idea was that in a flying dream we are expressing our desire to brake free of restrictions and limitations. We have a desire to be free and above all of our difficulties! Alfred Adler, thought that this dream was a type of a superiority dream in which we reveal the desire to dominate and be above others. Focusing on the libido, Freud thought that flying was just another way to express sexual desires. The details of your dream will give you clues as to what it symbolizes, if your dream was a spiritual experience or ego based. Enjoy it, flying is fun!

Food

People often dream about food. All types of food are a consistent part of a dream life. Anything from meat to elbow macaroni, comes up through our unconscious and leaves vivid memories upon awakening. Food is symbolic of a large variety of things. It could symbolize pleasure and indulgence. To the perpetual dieter, the dream could have a "compensatory" function, where the food that is denied to the individual during the day shows up in the dream state. Dreams could additionally symbolize physical, mental, spiritual and emotional nourishment.

Forest / Woods

They may represent your unconscious or your "mental space". If you are lost in the woods it may be a reflection of feelings of confusion and lack of clear direction.

Friends

Our dreams are full of symbolism, with their messengers being all different types of people. It is very common to dream about our friends. These are individual that are emotionally valuable to us, and we learn about ourselves through them. Dreams are very rarely prophetic, thus whether your dream was good or bad, don't expect it to come true. This dream is more than likely attempting to bring up uncomfortable feelings that you have about yourself or others (remember "uncomfortable" does not necessarily mean bad). Dreams are created by our own thinking processes, our own thoughts created our dreams....thus, the mind that created the dream also knows it's meaning!!! Also see: People.

Frog

Old dream interpretation books say that frogs are a good omens and represent happiness and great friendships. From a more modern point of view, frogs may be considered symbols of the unconscious, as they live in the water. Frogs also represent transformation of the positive kind.

Funeral

See Burial, Coffin and Death

G

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.

Garage

This is an interesting symbol and many people have requested that it be added to the dictionary. Traveling is very common theme for our dreams. Traveling in a car is the most common form of this type of dream. Traveling in a vehicle generally can represent our journey through life -- or a portion of our life's journey. If in your dream, you find yourself in a garage or a parking lot, two different types connotations can be made. Please consider the content of your dream, the mood in it, and your current dilemma or situation in life. The parked car could represent a period of inactivity and indecision in your life. The dream could be pointing out that you have been idol for a period of time and that it may be good time to "get a move on". The more positive interpretation of this dream may be that the parked car is symbolic of a reflective period or mood. You may be in "park" for a while so that you can rest, relax, regroup and think things over.

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. See Animals

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.
