Pregnancy Dream Symbols It is very common for pregnant women or those women who are trying to have a baby to dream about pregnancy or some other incident or attribute that is related to pregnancy. So if you are pregnant it may actually be the manifestation of your condition in your waking life. This happens because of the fact that when you are pregnant or when you are trying for a baby there are various anxieties that often work within you during this delicate phase of your life. In fact many women report of having vivid dreams relating to their pregnancy during all the three trimesters of the pregnancy. However, there are incidences when non pregnant people have reported of dreams relating to pregnancy or other similar situations. Psychologists and researchers have opined that when such people dream of pregnancy, they are more often than not experiencing a phase of growth or development in their life, for these are the most common attributes we associate with pregnancy. There are some researchers who have also attributed the dreams related to pregnancy with your desire to create something. If you are someone who is not pregnant or is not at the moment trying to conceive and are still having dreams related to pregnancy, and are feeling perturbed about it, let us calm you down by saying one thing – psychologists and researchers have opined that such dreams about pregnancy or dreams about something related to pregnancy are more often than not signs of positive things or changes that are happening or are about to happen in your life. Depending upon the context in which you see the dream and the exact content of the dream one can interpret the various dream symbols. PREGNANCY Dream about pregnancy are often reported to be very vivid in nature. If you are actually pregnant, this may give you some moments of smile and tenderness. However, if you are not pregnant, then in your moment of grogginess and sleepiness you may feel panicked or anxious in seeing yourself pregnant, especially if that is not the state you want to be in at that point of time in your life. You may wonder how it could have happened to you without your knowledge. But this is not a dream that should cause you any trouble or anxiety for such a dream is not usually connected to any negative event or emotion. More likely than not it is a symbolic representation of the fact that you are about to embrace some positive changes in your life. REALIZING THAT YOU’RE PREGNANT If you dream that you have suddenly realized that you are pregnant it means that there is some scope of growth in your life that you have just realized, but perhaps you are not ready to disclose it to all and sundry yet. It may also be that you are little anxious about embracing some new responsibilities that you know are soon to come to you. REALIZING THAT SOMEONE ELSE IS PREGNANT When you dream that someone else is pregnant it is likely that you feel a bond developing between the two of you. The only exception would be if you see that your partner has conceived someone else’s child, then that is a sign of mistrust, disloyalty and rift between the two of you. TAKING A PREGNANCY TEST Apart from being the manifestation of your fear of actually conceiving or having a baby, this could mean that there are going to be some changes taking place in your life. Perhaps you are unsure of whether you are prepared to face the situation. It may so be that life is subjecting you to a sudden test. GETTING AN ULTRASOUND This is representative of a transitional phase of your life where you can actually measure your progress in the process. HAVING A BABY These dreams represent your innermost feelings about various emotions and your feelings about those people who are near and dear to you. GOING TO THE HOSPITAL TO GIVE BIRTH This could signify that you are trying to get rid of someone or some responsibility. It may also mean that you are trying to shake off a certain trait from your system. It could also symbolically represent your need or want to depend on someone completely and to be taken care of fully. GIVING BIRTH Apart from being manifestations of your desire to have a baby or your fear about the process of giving birth to a child, this could be a symbolic representation of a creative venture that you know would bring you success and/ or happiness but only after you give it a lot of labor and diligence. GOING INTO PREMATURE LABOR You are about to begin a new endeavor for which you feel you are not yet completely prepared. HAVING A C-SECTION This signifies that you have a creative idea, but you cannot materialize it fully on your own. You would need the assistance of someone else to help you give it the final form. GIVING BIRTH TO A NON-HUMAN CREATURE If you are pregnant, then this simply means that you are anxious about the health and condition of your baby. If not, it may mean that you are facing some obstacles in the way of your personal developments. Or perhaps your innermost emotions are yet to find proper expressions. DYING IN CHILDBIRTH This is representative of the fact that you are trying to change some old habits of yours which you thing are becoming hurdles in your way of growth and development. SEEING PLACENTA You probably are burdened with a responsibility that is overwhelming you and you are tired of carrying it anymore and are eager to shake it off. SEEING AN UMBILICAL CORD On one hand it can mean that you share a very close bonding with your mother or some mother figure in your life. On the other hand it may also signify that you are tired of carrying all responsibilities on your own and are hoping to have someone around to depend upon. It may also suggest that you lack individuality. HAVING A STILLBORN BABY OR IF THE PREGNANCY GETS TERMINATED (WHETHER BY CHOICE OR BY ACCIDENT) This is one of the most stressful dreams especially for those women who are actually pregnant. These dreams are not of prophetic nature, and as such should not bother you much. This perhaps is an indication that you are getting rid of something, a habit perhaps. It may also suggest that some endeavor of yours may have come to an end suddenly whether you volunteered it or not. HAVING AN ABORTION You are perhaps unknowingly causing a block in the path of your growth. HAVING A MISCARRIAGE For pregnant women this is merely an anxiety about the progress of the pregnancy. For others it may indicate failed ventures. Or it may also be representative of the fact that perhaps you need to plan a change in your action or plan to reach your target.

Places Dream Symbols We all know that dreams are symbolic representations of what we think. When something is in your mind, half the time you are aware of it in your waking life.

Numbers Dream Symbol Numbers when they appear in your dream probably are suggestive of the fact that you need to be more logical in life and organize your life more methodically. When you dream of numbers, your subconscious is basically trying to convey this message to your waking mind that you probably need to control the ratio of speculation and imagination and replace them with logic. You need to bring back your wandering mind to focus and concentrate on the ways of your life and find for it a definite purpose and direction. When we speak of the world of numbers the notions that come to our mind are that of formulae, equations, strategies based on principles, theorems, linear method of thinking etc. When numbers appear in your dreams these are the traits that they wish to direct you to so as to give your life a focused purpose. Each and every number when they appear in dreams bears meanings that go deep. It is essential that you understand such meanings and thereby take control over your own life. Focus at a personal level Numbers represent the fact that you need to add on what is essential to get the end result. It is the way that you slowly build up your life. Every single thing under the sun and even beyond it has been explained by scientist by simple numeric logic. Even art forms like music have a definite theory of progression. Each and every thing on earth can be explained via simple numeric sequences when broken down, and then again can be reconstructed to give it its original form. But man needed a definite way to describe these physical phenomena, and as such nine numbers were created. These are whole numbers that when shuffled in different sequences can be used to express a lot of things like pull of gravity, speed of light or sound and many such more life changing occurrences. At a simpler level, when you assign a number to your house, it forms an address which helps to locate your home, when someone assigns a number thereby grading your work you understand where your performance ranks in comparison to others, so on and so forth. So in the bottom line, numbers gives your life more discipline and focus. This is the base of interpreting your dreams that include the nine whole numbers. Now let us consider numbers that have more digits involved. In such case, the principle of numerology is mostly applied to derive the meaning of such dream. This is to say that the digits of the numbers are added till a single digit result is obtained. For example – 129 would break down to 1 + 2 + 9 = 12 1 + 2 = 3. When numbers are repeated When numbers get repeated in your dreams it is emphasis upon the traits that are shown by the number in itself as per methods of numerology. Before we go into that, we have to understand what we mean by repeating number. Examples of repeating numbers could be – 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99 etc. It has been established by psychologists that such repeated numbers appear in your dreams in cases where you are going through a transitional phase of your life. It is indicative that soon you are about to turn a new leaf over and experience a whole new innings of life. It could also be symbolic representation of the fact that henceforth things would start lining up for you. It could also be an emphasis on the meaning of the actual number appearing in it – for example, 1 in case of 11, 2 in case of 22, so on and so forth. Here is a list of the basic numbers and what each of them can denote – Remember this is the way whereby you can attach significance to every number you wish to examine. But you have to carefully analyze the structure thereof. Each digit you shall find is an expansion of the previous one and would give you powerful messages as you use them to interpret your dreams. Numbers Interpretations 0 or Zero Zero is representative of emptiness. It means “nothing” – it is often a term that is used to express some kind of void in one’s life. For example, when we mean to say that someone has not achieved any success, we often say the person is a big zero. However there can be a different connotation of the digit also. It may represent infinity and eternity. As such zero in dreams may mean timelessness and sense of super consciousness. It may also symbolize a sense of fulfillment since zero resembles a circle, and can also mean counterproductive actions. 1 or One One is the beginning of numbers and as such can symbolically represent a starting point or the beginning of one’s existence. However, one may also denote loneliness. Since this denotes the beginning of a journey it if a phase that has a lot of energy to it. However energy alone will not transform into action. This number represents the calmness before the whirlwind of action. One also expresses superiority. 2 or Two When another joins the number 1 the number 2 is created, and as such it denotes the beginning of a partnership. This is the number from which the concept of relativity springs up. The one now has the knowledge and understanding of the concept of self, for there exists someone else who the one recognizes to be the other. As such the number 2 is all about duality and partnerships, contradictions and sharing, harmony and comparisons. 3 or Three When the two join hands, the combination of their energy gives rise to the new element which gets labeled as three. Three as such is considered to be a symbolic representation of creativity. Three is considered to contain very powerful energy. Three is expressed as the union of mother and father that creates the child. Three is also expressed as the writer, the words that culminate into a piece that is a coherent read; a painter, some colors and the painting – likewise, any work of creation can be expressed through the number three. Even in music the trine is considered to be the simplest yet the sweetest form of harmony. Even in geometry you need three points to actually locate a defined space. The challenge that three brings along with it is the tendency to go away from reality in its urge to create. 4 or Four Four is a number that is a symbolic representation of structure. Three is what satisfies the creative desire. Now it is time to give a strong foundation to the creation. It is the power of four that results into solidification. It forms the founding base on which all the three can seek support. Four is a number that represents methods and rules, institutions and regulations. However, this number comes with the limitation of having too much restraint. 5 or Five Five is the number that represents freedom. Before five, four gave everything a strong base and structure. Because of that five now has the safe and secure ground on which it can explore. Five as such can be expressive. Human body is represented by the number five – a head that is supported by the four limbs. Five also represents a sense of joy and gaiety. However with so much freedom there comes the chance of indulgence, which can lead to compulsion or addiction. 6 or Six Six is a number of collaboration, equilibrium and harmony. The energy of six is often considered to be the bonding of two threes. This is a number that symbolically represents partnerships of all kinds. It has the capacity to integrate opposite forces and create a balance. But then with so much responsibility comes the feeling of being burdened. 7 or Seven Seven is a number that symbolizes the various human expressions. It also denotes spirituality and is linked with high thinking. Seven gives the power to think, contemplate and understand everything from a higher level of perception. Seven has the tendency to lose touch with the reality and this is what can cause trouble. 8 or Eight Eight symbolizes infinity or abundance. This encompasses all the spheres that life can offer. However, when all your desires are satisfied there can emerge greed for more which can go out of control creating disharmony and imbalance in life. 9 or Nine Nine is the number that speaks of a sense of completion. All things on earth must end methodically so that new beginnings can happen. Nine is the symbolism for such cyclic nature of life and the universe at large where the old always paves way for the new. Here the satisfying sense of completeness is shadowed to some degree with the anxiety of the end.

Nightmares How can one define a nightmare? When we speak of nightmare we refer to dreams that can be distressing or even traumatizing. When you experience such a dream you may get awakened from your sleep. If not so, most nightmares are reported to cause at least partial awakening. When having a nightmare you may be subjected to any kind of negative emotions, sometimes even multiple of them, like, guilt, anger, fear, sadness, anxiety or depression. Nightmares, their types and themes, differ from person to person. Even a particular person may experience different kinds of nightmares at different times. Who can have a nightmare? Almost everyone has experienced a nightmare at some time of their life or the other. Nightmares do not necessarily happen to adults only. Many children too report that they have suffered due to nightmares. It has been seem that the majority of these children are between the ages of three and four or seven and eight. However, doctors and analysts ask parents or guardians not to worry about such nightmares – these belong to the normal process that molds the growth and development of a child. These are generally not signals that there is any serious problem. However, repeated and disturbing nightmares that recur frequently should be dealt with care, and if required professional help should be sought. Studies have also indicated that nightmares are common among adults too. They may experience it time and again. In fact 5 to 10% of adults report to experience nightmares once in a month or more frequently. What can cause a nightmare? Researchers have put forward several possible reasons that can cause nightmares to occur. In fact there could be physiological as well as psychological causes that can result into nightmare. There are times when these can be caused by side effects of certain drugs or medications or when you are trying to withdraw from any of them. Physical discomfort such as illnesses and high fever can also cause nightmares to happen. These can happen if you are sleeping in a position in which you feel any discomfort. When you are experiencing too much of stress of anxiety in your day to day life it can cause a nightmare to happen. Another potential stimulant of nightmare can be indigestion or eating just before you go to bed. When you eat, immediately after that, your body experiences an increased rate of metabolic activity. There is often an increased brain activity too during this time. The result of these two can cause nightmare. Nightmares can be result of faulty sleeping patterns. Nightmares can also cause faulty sleeping patterns and also insomnia, and like a vicious cycle these then may cause nightmare in turn. Some people have reported to experience nightmare when they have gone through some traumatic situation in life. When a person suffers from severe trauma, at times the person suffers from a condition known as PTSD or posttraumatic stress disorder. This may trigger severe anxiety, which in turn may result into nightmare. This may include loss of a dear one, or a sudden accident or a surgery or any kind of assault or a severe medical condition or having experienced a war or direct consequence thereof. When a person is suffering from anxiety for not being able to resolve an issue, or when an issue does not get resolved as per the person’s satisfaction, this complex mental situation can cause nightmare. If a person has been scared of something in the childhood it can keep coming back even in the latter years as nightmare. Children often have nightmare too. The good part is that if such nightmare is not very frequent or recurrent, or is not affecting negatively the psyche of the child, then such nightmare should not be a cause to worry about. These come under the series of processes that a child struggles to deal with in the tender years and relate to normal childhood anxieties, fears and growing up problems. Sometimes there are people who complain of experiencing nightmares that they cannot connect to the context of what is happening in their waking life. Researchers have found that these people are generally sensitive and emotional ones who get influenced by what goes on around them, or are more creative than average people. What could be the possible remedies to get rid of a nightmare? The remedies of a nightmare actually lie within the source that is causing the nightmare. Well, drugs, illnesses and medication induced nightmares are not under discussion here for they would need proper medical treatment and if you are experiencing something of this kind, you need to stick to what your doctor says. When a child is suffering from nightmare it has often been seen that talking about the nightmare with an adult helps to ease the fear and reduces the recurrence. A few nightmares in childhood are common, and do not need any kind of treatment apart from soothing the anxiety. If however a child experiences recurrent and frequent nightmares, then the situation requires the aid of a psychologist. The therapist may attempt to talk to the child, make the child feel safer and secure in some way, or give the child a more positive approach about the nightmares. Post trauma nightmares are often considered by therapists to be a process of healing. They opine that with time as the process of recovery from the trauma progresses the intensity and the frequency of the nightmare would also diminish. However, if no change is noticed over a prolonged period of time, a therapist should be consulted. Sometimes, nightmares are caused by intense stress, tension, anxiety or emotional conflict or disturbance. Such nightmares get resolved when the cause of these are removed. If you cannot pinpoint the cause, a therapist can help. It is surprising but also a positive fact that there are many people who have the capability of taking nightmares to their stride with positivity. Although while they experience them they find it pretty disturbing, they consider these dreams to be fascinating work of creation by their mind. Some people consider them interesting, while many people disregard them to be just passing fancies. From the previous point it can be concluded that to find the remedy for a nightmare you have to mold your attitude towards it. When you can take it lightly then it would not be able to cause any negative effect in your life or in your mind.

Naked Dreams Many dreamers report seeing naked or nude dreams or dream of semi nudity. The experiences of the dreamers vary though. Some find themselves embarrassingly naked in a public place before the eyes of many people while some others find themselves naked in solitary condition, and there are others who find naked dreams to be a liberating experience where they feel free. The analyses of naked or nude dreams too depend on the context that the dreamers find themselves in. Nudity in Public These are dreams when the dreamer sees that the person is naked in a public place before eyes of beholders. It could be at place of work or education or say at a mall or any other public place. These are dreams that make the dreamer feel mortified. According to researchers dreams of public nudity are generally manifestations of deep rooted feelings of some kind of fear related emotions like exposure or vulnerability. Such kinds of dreams bring the feelings of shame, rejection, disapproval and guilt too other than the fear factor, and such emotions can stir pretty unpleasant emotions in the minds of the dreamer. Since the incidence happens before a lot of people the fear or shame factor is of great magnitude. It gives you a feeling that you shall expose certain feelings or factors that you would rather keep hidden. Although it is recommended that you give a deep thought about the happenings in your life at present to find the true meaning of your dream, it is also recommended that you do not consider such dreams to be any kind of prophecies. Naked Dreams and a sense of freedom and innocence Although what we discussed above can bring the thought that naked dreams are mostly negative ones, there are times when naked dreams can have positive implications too. Such dreams would endow the dreamer with a sense of happiness, elation, freedom and elation. These dreams indicate that you are completely comfortable with yourself and you happily accept yourself as you are without any sense of shame or apology whatsoever. Some analysts interpret such naked dreams to be associated with a sense of freedom and liberation. It can be that the person has gone through an ordeal in life and has come out unscathed, which has imbibed in the person a sense of relief and freedom. It could also be that you have bared your entire self to the world at large and you are unabashed about it for it has remained what you actually are and that your innocence has been restored. Fear of Exposure Often researchers have found that people who have been involved in affairs that they are not comfortable in disclosing to others. It could be something like debts or could be something like any addiction or gambling or being involved in any other illicit affair. Such dreams stem out from the fear that one shall be exposed in public and would no longer be able to hide whatever they have been trying to shield. Many people associate this fear to be labeled as someone who is a fraud before all and sundry. Nudity means that you are without cover. Being naked means that nothing you can hide anymore. There is no option before you to cover up anything. Usually one attempts to cover up when one is trying to hide something that the person thinks would be unacceptable. Interestingly it has also been noted that when you are pursuing a goal, even a very noble one, that you are not sure to succeed, you fear that people would think that you are a failure and that would expose yourself to be someone without talent. Feeling of insecurity and vulnerability Researchers have also opined that dreams of nudity and nakedness also represent a sense of vulnerability that a person may be going though in his/ her life. It happens especially when a person is going through a transitional phase like change in a relationship status or change of job or taking up any risk in life or if someone has to reveal something about oneself that one would otherwise life to shield. These are the times when you feel anxious and apprehensive about what you shall face in times to come. These dreams are mostly ones where you shall see yourself naked before public eyes. Anxiety of Rejection Naked dreams suggest that you are viewing yourself to be someone who is not in pieces – it represents your body and soul in one piece. There is no duality about nakedness. When you expose yourself completely like that you may find that your true self is acceptable to some and not to acceptable to others. This is when you fear a sense of rejection. It may not necessarily mean rejection in a relationship. It can even mean rejection of an idea or thought that you conjured. It could even go on to include rejection of your efforts or any work that you put your mind and heart into. Conclusion From the above discussions it can be concluded that that Naked Dreams or Dreams or Nudity or Dreams of semi Nudity could be pleasant ones or unpleasant ones. In most cases however it is not a very pleasant experience for the dreamers. It is to be remembered that none of the dreams should be considered by you to be prophetic omens that bring you the message of what is to come in your life. Dreams are just what your subconscious mind interprets about the various events that are taking place in your real life. It is what you feel about the various incidences of your life and need to necessarily relate to the reality. For example, the feeling of rejection is what you are feeling within but does not necessarily mean that you are actively being rejected.

Lucid Dreams Description of Lucid Dreams Lucid Dream can be defines as those dreams in which the dreamer is aware of the fact that he/ she is dreaming. This is not a phenomenon that has been reported in the modern times. Albeit in different names, but the concept of Lucid Dreams have existed since the ancient times in various cultures. This concept even finds mention in the writings of the Greek philosopher Aristotle who observed that often it so happens that even when one is sleeping and is dreaming there is an iota of consciousness in the person that kind of prompts to the viewer that what is happening then is nothing but a dream. Researchers have put forward that when one experiences a Lucid Dream it allows them to exert a certain degree of control over their dream. People may even be able to manipulate the course of happenings that occur in such a dream. They seem to participate in the dream in a manner in which they are able to manipulate the imaginary situations that they experience in their dream environment. These dreams are often reported to be extremely vivid and realistic. This happens because of the fact that scientists have established that when a person is in a state of experiencing a Lucid Dream, then there is an increase of activity in the parietal lobe area of the brain which makes such a dream a conscious process. Salient Features of Lucid Dreams For a dream to be labeled as a Lucid Dream it should fulfill all of the seven criteria mentioned below – The dreamer should be aware of the state of dream The dreamer should be aware of the fact that she/ he possesses the capacity to take decisions in the dream The dreamer should have memories functioning The dreamer should be aware of self The dreamer should be conscious about the dream environment The dreamer should be aware of what the dream means or suggests The dreamer should have the power to concentrate and focus with subjective clarity. Pre Lucid Dreams This is the state of the dream where the person who is dreaming is a little puzzled about the fact whether the person is actually sleeping and dreaming, or is awake and conscious. In this type of situation the dreamer may not be able to reach the correct inference. This is often found to occur in people who are deliberately trying to create lucid dreams. However, often people who have no intention of controlling a dream have reported such a state of dream environment too. Initiation Process of Lucid Dreams A lucid dream can be initiated in a number of ways. Often it has been found that a dreamer starts seeing a normal dream and then eventually takes control over the dream which thereby gets converted to a lucid dream, and it is in this state that the dream concludes. These types of Lucid Dreams are known as Dream Initiated Lucid Dreams. There is also a second category of Lucid Dreams which is known as a Wake Initiated Lucid Dream. This can be defined as a one where the person enters the mode of REM sleep directly after the phase of conscious waking. Concept of Time in Lucid Dreams Researchers have established the fact that when a person is in a state of lucid dreaming the perception of time is same as that the person experiences when in the state of conscious waking life. For example – if the dreamer says that in the lucid dream the dreamer counted time of ten seconds from one to ten, then the start and end of such count would coincide with how the person would have counted had the person been conscious and awake. State of Awareness and Reasoning in Lucid Dreams Although researchers have opined that there is a correlation between dream control and dream awareness, there are ample proofs that suggest that these factors function independent of each other. This can be further explained by dreamers in lucid state. When a dreamer is in a lucid state the dreamer is aware and is conscious that he/she can take control of the dream situation, but may simply opt to stay on as a mere observer in the dream. It has been often found that lucid dreamers have been able to retain their targets or goals from waking life even when they are in the dream environment. As such often people have suggested that they have found inspiration or motivation or focus in their lucid dreams. However more often than not many of these dreamers had to experience dreams multiple times in most of which they could not recall their objectives in waking life, and it is after such multiple attempts that they gained this level of control over their dream environment. Researchers have also proved that in a state of lucid dreams the bilateral fronto-polar area of the brain gets extremely active. This part of the brain helps to evaluate one’s thoughts and emotions. This is why people often find various solutions that they seek in their waking life when in a state of lucid dreams. Theories that counter the concept of Lucid Dreams Skeptics of the concept of Lucid Dreams have stated that Lucid Dreams are those that are visualized not in a state of sleep, but when the person is in a state of brief wakeful consciousness. They also put forward the fact that there is no way of verifying whether the content as stated by the dreamer is true or not apart from the narration or report of the dreamer. Researchers have opined that there is no scientific manner in which it can be ascertained whether a person who claims to be dreaming is actually dreaming or not. Here the statement of the dreamer is the only way to verify the facts. Skeptics opine that what is termed as Lucid Dreams should actually be termed as micro awakening. This is because of the fact that Lucid Dreams are reported to happen during the course of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, and the brain activity that taken place during this phase of a person’s sleep is similar to that which takes place when a person is awake. Some researchers have put forward the theory that the the physiological state of someone who is having a lucid dream can be compared to that of someone who is in some other state of consciousness, for example, meditation.

House Dream Symbols Human life is largely centered round house or home. It is no wonder as such that houses or homes appear quite often in human dreams. Wherever you may go away from home, be it for work or for pleasure, you finally come back to your nest. Homes in dreams bring to you various kinds of messages. Dreams about houses are very potent ones. Details of such dreams are of vital importance for correct interpretation. Levels of a House and their interpretation – A house is considered to contain different levels – a basement, a main level, an attic, and at times even a space above the attic. From the psychological point of view each level is attached a different perspective. Basement – The basement of a house is generally used to store stuffs that are no longer in use or at least not in frequent use anymore. It is not a part of the house that is actively used by the members of the house day in and day out. Interpretation of a dream that has basement in it depends on how you visualize the basement in your dreams. If you see a basement that is dark and you feel scared in your dream, it is suggestive of repressed emotions that are most likely negative ones. Basement can also be reminder of an incident or memory that you have been suppressing for a while, knowingly or unknowingly, or perhaps have forgotten about in your waking life. However, in some parts of the world, people who are plagued by various natural calamities like cyclones or tornadoes, basement is used to hide for protection and security. As such, people who associate a basement with such purpose may see it at a time of their like when they are seeking emotional or physical security or protection. Main Level – This level of the house contains all the rooms of the house that are used on day to day basis. Each room of this level of the house conveys a different meaning or emotion when appearing in a dream depending upon the usage and the perception of the rooms. Room by room analysis of this segment of the house has been done below. Attic – Attic is generally used to store stuffs that are not in use in the present, but can be needed any time. These are stored to be procured when needed. This is exactly what our subconscious mind does, and as such attic of a home is related to a person’s subconscious. Space above Attic – Some dreamers report of seeing dreams where they break through the attic to reach the space above it. Psychologists have related this space of a house to the spirituality of human beings. Different forms of houses and their interpretation – New Home – You are anticipating that something new would happen in your life. It may be a new endeavor, a new incident or a new relationship. Whatever it may be, this dream is all about your future. Moving Home – There is some movement in your life. Your life is not stagnant. It may also be a message of an impending relocation. This may also be a symbolic representation of a transitional phase of your life. The details and context of your dream would determine the actual interpretation. House on Fire – This is the attempt of your subconscious mind to draw your attention to some aspect of your life that needs immediate attention and perhaps some action too. Flood in a house – Such dreams are considered to be related to judgment of God. These dreams are often found to be prophetic in nature, and many people have said that after they experienced such dreams there was some serious natural calamity. Cleaning a house – This is a symbolic representation of the fact that you are doing some spring cleaning within yourself. This is actually more spiritual. It is an indication that you are attempting to drive away all that is evil from within. Here the house of your dreams is a symbolic representation of the person. Different rooms and spaces in a house and their interpretation – Here is a comprehensive list of the types of rooms in the main floor of a house and the areas around it and the interpretation of it when it appears in your dreams – Name of the Room/ Space Interpretation when it appears in your dream Backdoor You are probably seeking a shortcut to some problem in your life, but the solution in this case is perhaps not that obvious, and you need to try a little harder, or perhaps be more diligent.

Door Doors in your dreams are symbolic representation of opportunities that life sends your way. If you see that you are crossing a door it means that you are prepared to take on the new opportunities. If you see yourself before a closed door, it means that you have missed some opportunities in life – the grandeur of the closed door is often directly proportional to the degree of significance of the opportunity that you missed. Door Bell This is indicative of the fact that you are anxious about some news that is to come. More likely than not this would be news that would cause you some worry.

Food Dream Symbols Food is an integral part of human life and eating is a common experience. Naturally it should not come as a surprise that food is reported very frequently to be appearing in human dreams. However when you see food in your dreams it does not necessarily mean that you are hungry or you are wanting to have the particular kind of food that you see in your dreams or you are desiring for more nutrition. Psychologists have related food dreams to various emotional symbolisms. Here are a few connotations that your food dream can symbolize – Assimilation of information – When you eat food you have to digest it. This is the case with life’s experiences too. Whatever you go through in life you need to take that to your stride for proper assimilation. Food dreams may be an indication of all the information that you need to digest. If you have been thinking about an issue a lot or haven’t been able to accept or register something, you may be having food related dreams. Relationships – When you see food dreams that involve social gathering – for example, family dinner, picnic with friends, barbequing at the park etc – this perhaps is a symbolic representation of the various shades of your relationships. Food is a good thing, and when you are sharing that with your family and friends, it indicates that you are enjoying your relationships. A meal in isolation may be symbolic of a feeling of solitude or alienation. A meal where you see people arguing or uncomfortable with each other may bear the message of trouble in your relationship. If you see food that is stale or has been spoilt, it indicates the status of certain relationships. Anxiety about not getting what you desire – When you are hungry you try to obtain food. If you cannot obtain food, you feel worried or frustrated. If there is something that you want out of life that you cannot procure it may get symbolically represented in a food dream. It could be anything – for example – a want for love and affection, a desire for sensuality, a hunger for success. New endeavors – If you see breakfast in your dreams, more often than not it indicates new endeavors that you may be planning to take up, or new relationships or a new stage of life that you are experiencing. Indulgence – Depending upon context, on one hand it can indicate that you are indulging in life’s simple pleasures, and in the other hand it can indicate that you need to take your life a little more seriously. Fertility – When you dream of food items like eggs and seeds, it indicates of fertility. By fertility it could be the literal manifestation at a time when you are planning to have a baby or perhaps are struggling with fertility issues. At other times it could mean fertility of mind, that is, flourish of your creativity. However, as Freud pointed out, there are times when your food dream may actually try to tell you that your body needs more nutrition. Perhaps you are starving yourself, or perhaps what you provide to your body is inadequate. It may also be a message for you to reconsider your diet plan. Each food item has been identified by psychologists to convey different symbolisms in dreams.

Flying Dreams Flying Dreams are considered to be pretty exhilarating experience by most dreamers and they feel that they have experienced something out of the world – something mundane, something that is not mundane. It often makes you feel powerful like a super power and has high mystical value. In most cases Flying Dreams are positive ones, but in some cases dreamers have reported these to be scary too. Also researchers label Flying Dreams as lucid ones which means that in this dreams you are in control of the situation and manipulate your dream more often than not. In other situations however a Flying Dream may not be such a happy feeling. Depending upon the context of your dream, the analysis has to be done. How should you begin your analysis of Flying Dreams? Your subconscious mind keeps sending you a lot of signals. However, it would not spell them out to you. That is the job which your conscious mind has to take over. Dreams bring to you signals and symbols that are metaphoric. It is on you to analyze them considering the context thereby decoding them. Most of the times, Flying Dreams are positive ones that most of us would enjoy waking up to. Flying Dreams are also one of the most common forms of dreams reported. It has been opined by the researchers that Flying Dreams are usually visualized by those who are of strong mind and expect to achieve a lot. However, there are some Flying Dreams that are not so positive. There are certain factors that you need to consider when analyzing a Flying Dream. Example – Were you flying on your own? Was there any obstacle stopping you? Were you in control of the flight? How was the weather? Were you happy or scared while flying? Were you going upward or downward in your flight? Was the flying smooth or turbulent? Were you feeling happy or sad? Were you using any agent to fly, like a pair of wings or a rocket? What does it mean when you see that you are flying in your dreams? Depending on exactly what you see, the meaning of you flying in your dreams can be analyzed. For example – if you feel free and happy when you fly in your dreams, it means you feel carefree. If you experience trouble flying or are scared of flying it represents some sort of anxiety or trouble. Maintaining a Dream Journal would help you remember the details of your dreams and then analyze properly. What is the direction of your flight? Direction of flight is also important to consider. If you see yourself flying upwards it usually suggests that you are experiencing a new height in your life or a new level in spirituality. Flying closer to the ground generally suggests that you are determined to take life to your stride. If you are flying a machine like an airplane or rocket it suggests that you do not feel absolutely free, but are nearly there. Flying backwards generally means that you are nostalgic. Do you feel scared when you see you are flying? You may feel scared in your Flying Dreams in situations when you feel that you cannot take off the ground when you try to fly or something or someone is trying to stop you from flying. If you are experiencing trouble in flying even when you are by yourself it means that you lack confidence within. An agent creating trouble suggests that there is some external hindrance that you need to resolve in order for unhindered growth. Are you having trouble in flying when you see your dream? Scared flying generally suggests that you lack control in your life. Or it may also suggest that you have set your goals in life up too high and are now anxious that you shall crash. This is for you to figure out what or who is causing hindrance in your life thereby stopping you from experiencing the carefree happy success that everyone dreams of, and resolve the issue. What can you conclude from your Flying Dreams? Flying Dreams have been labeled as lucid ones by the researchers and scientists. These are dreams that start out in your subconscious and then give you control of it.
