Interpretation |
| Abandonment |
You
must consider this dream's varying aspects in order to interpret
it. Your unconscious may be giving you messages regarding what
needs to be kept and needs to be let go. Traditional dream interpretations
say that if you are the one being abandoned in your dream, it
is a dream of the contrary and you may experience reconciliation
or recovery from trouble or illness. Please remember that the
unconscious is attempting to compensate for an imbalance in
the conscious. For example if you are overly attached to someone
in daily life, in the dream state you may be abandoned by him/her.
This is an attempt by the unconscious to make you aware of your
dependency. |
| Abbey |
If
you see the abbey in a clear daylight, it can be perceived as
a good omen. This dream may bring you peace of mind and relaxation.
If you see the abbey in darkness or obscurity, it indicates
grief, sorrow, unhappiness, but this is only temporary. |
| Abdomen |
Dreaming
about any body part is a way to bring the dreamer's conscious
attention to it. When, in your dream, you are feeling pain or
discomfort in this area or any other area of the body, consider
how well that part of your body is functioning in real life.
Being health-conscious is a positive thing and both psychological
and physical factors need to be considered. At times our unconscious
knows that something is wrong even before we have any symptoms.
"Old wives' tales" tell us that this is a dream of
the contrary and that you will have lots of vigor and good health. |
| Abduction |
Abduction
in you dream indicates wish-fulfilment and is, in general, a
good sign of achieving goals which seemed unattainable. Dreaming
about being abducted indicates success for you, even if you
have a lot of resistance in real life situations. But if you
observe someone being abducted, you can expect some unexpected
news! |
| Abhorrence |
If
you have a strong hatred or feeling of dislike for something
in your dream, it is a warning that you may be in danger or
have some difficult situations which can not be foreseen. If
the feeling was not very strong and you were a bit irritated
by it, then it means that you will be able to overcome your
problems. |
| Abnormal |
When
you dream of something abnormal which can be described as a
sci-fi film, where we see very strange things happening and
not existing animals, it means that very soon you are going
to find a useful solution to your present problems. |
| Abortion |
A
woman that had this experience is most likely to have many dreams
about it. Even though the dream may be disturbing or anxiety-provoking,
it is a healing dream. It is possible that in your dream state
you are working toward acceptance and are resolving any unconscious
feelings. If a man is having this dream, it usually means that
he is experiencing guilt feelings and may be anticipating failure
of some kind. If a woman who has not had this experience is
having this dream, it may be a warning about her health or may
indicate that she is feeling significant anxiety about current
endeavors. |
| Abroad |
If
you dream of travelling and going abroad, it means that you
are experiencing some unsettled conditions and considering travelling
abroad or changing location. Travelling abroad by ship denotes
that you could make a new influential friend very soon. |
| Abscond |
Running
away, escaping for a man in his dream means that he should be
on alert expecting possible deceit from his surroundings at
work. For a woman, this dream is a warning to be careful where
she gives her affection. |
| Abstinence |
It's
a very contradictory dream, because it may mean the opposite.
If you are practicing abstinence from drinking or other temptations,
it may be considered as a warning against being arrogant or
overconfident. And if you show abstinence without necessity,
it means that there are great rewards on the way. |
| Abundance |
Dreaming
of abundance can be both, a warning and a good sign. The first
means that you should keep your resources and energies till
better times. And the second is a good omen for taking new experiences. |

will get into the trap of your enemy. In general, this dream
is a warning to be more cautious with your surroundings, new
acquaintances and to control your temper. |
| Abyss |
This
dream you should consider as a warning. An abyss always symbolizes
an obstacle. And if you are falling into it, you might be in
great danger in your business dealings. But if you managed not
to fall into an abyss, it indicates that you will be able to
overcome your problem. |
| Academy |
Seeing
an academy in your dream indicates new friendships with people
who may gossip about you. |
| Accelerator |
If
you use an accelerator or gas pedal in your dream, it is an
indication that you will achieve your goals with little outside
assistance rather than your own efforts. On the other hand,
if the accelerator is broken and you cannot control it, there
is a warning that you can develop a habit which will become
a vice. |
| Accident |
If
you dream of an accident, you should more carefully pay attention
to the detail: how did the accident happen, who was involved
in your dream. Sometimes it just means that you need to be more
careful while crossing the road, if you dreamt of being run
over by a car; or if you had an accident with some instruments,
maybe you need to repair them in order to avoid accidents in
future. But if in your dream you had some other people watching
you having an accident, it means that you will be involved in
danger through this person. An accident by sea (ship or boat)
promises a great deal of love affairs. |
| Acid |
Dreaming
about acid might be the sign of an intense fear that can threaten
"to dissolve" you. It could also mean that you are too distrustful
or contemptuous of others, and if you don't change, this so
called "acid" can "dissolve" your relationships. |

about acting in a movie means that you dislike false and hypocritical
people, or you are pretending to be somebody you are not. Seeing

and lies. Seeing an actor in a dream: you want something you
can't have. If you are the film actor: you don't feel comfortable
around your friends. |

about admiring someone means that you are too easily led by
people and you don't check their intentions first. |

If you are putting someone up for adoption, it means you will
be rejected. Also it can mean adopting new ideas, points-of-view. |
| Adultery |
Dreaming
of adultery might be surprising, because it can be absolutely
not connected to the reality. A dream of committing adultery
does not exactly say that you are cheating on your partner,
but it may make you feel guilty. This way your subconscious
tells you that you have some offences against others or your
partner, and even against your own true nature. Very often people
who are involved in an emotionally and sexually cold relationships
are likely experience this dream. Also for some people it means
that they are ready to have an affair. |
| Aggression |
If
you dream of hitting or shooting somebody, or any other act
of aggression, it expresses anger that has not been acknowledged

steam" by way of aggressive attacks. See Attack, Murder,
Killing. |

your thoughts. On the other hand, it may be drawing a release
from a problem or continuous difficult situation. |

depends what exactly you see in your dream. If you are flying

which is destined to fail, or it may also symbolize a financial
or intellectual failure. |

for travelling. If the airport is deserted, your travel plans
may be changed. |
| Alcohol |
Drinking
a small amount of alcohol means you will have interesting ideas.
In general, alcohol symbolizes secret desires. The meaning may
become clearer, if you analyse some other symbols in the dream.
Very useful to notice is what alcohol made you feel: more courageous,
more confident? It will show what you lack in real life. If
you drink to intoxication, it shows your strong desire to escape

us. Stored clothes and furniture may reflect unused potential
stored away through fears or discouragement. When you dream

and balanced. If the attic is well organized and brightly lit,
then you will have luck with either love or matrimony. The attic
can also represent the mind, and if the attic is chaotic this
will be a sign telling you to organize your thoughts for better
living. |

partner is about to happen. Picking up an axe is a sign of bad
luck, terror and conflict. An axe-dream often means that your

your character. If you see someone else working with an axe,
it means that you are suffering, because of the inconsiderate
actions of others. |
