Paralysis

Example: ‘It starts as a dream, but I gradually become aware that I cannot move.

The harder I try to move the worse it gets and I become very fnghtened. I can neither move nor wake myself up. Sometimes I feel as if I am leaving my body. But to deal with the fear I have learnt—it’s a recur­ring thing—to stop struggling, knowing that I will eventually wake’ (Susan Y). This is a common experience which may be due to the fact the body is paralysed during periods of the dream process; all brain signals to the voluntary muscles are inhibited. This is not sensed as a problem if we are uncon­sciously involved in a dream.

If enough self awareness arises in the dream state, then awareness of the inability to move may occur, along with the anxiety this can arouse. Another factor is illustrated by what Susan says—the harder she tries to move the worse it gets. Our unconscious is very open to suggestion.

If this were not so we would lack necessary sur­vival responses. In a dimly lit situation we may mistake a shape for a lurking figure. Our body reactions, such as heart­beat, react to the mistake as if it is real, until we gain fresh information. Whatever we feel to be real becomes a fact as far as our body reactions are concerned.

The fear that one cannot move becomes a fact because we believe it. When Susan re­laxes, and thereby drops the fear of paralysis, she can be free of it. This applies to anything we feel is true—we create it as an internal reality. ... paralysis dream meaning

Indigestion

The inability to internalize or accept what’s been presented to you, at least in its present form. What causes the digestive trouble here will provide more meaning.

A line of reasoning that you just can’t swallow (see Eating).

Fog

Confusion; indecision; inability to see the real issues in yourself and your environment. Idioms: not the foggiest. ... fog dream meaning

Choke

1- When we find ourselves choking in a dream we are coming up against our inability to express ourselves appropriately. There is some conflict between our inner and outer selves, perhaps some indecision over whether we should speak out or remain silent.

2- We are being stifled by people or circumstances and are not in control of either.

3- Choking can indicate spiritual conflict and restraint. Choking in a dream therefore eventually has us learn when to speak and when to remain silent.... choke dream meaning

Drowning

also see Swimming

1- When we are drowning in a dream this usually indicates we are in danger of being overwhelmed by emotions we cannot handle. We are fearful of allowing our emotions free expression. Drowning may also indicate a perceived inability to handle a stressful situation around us at the time of the dream.

2- We have allowed ourselves to be put in a situation over which we have no control. We may be ‘floundering around’ with no way of being able to escape from a difficulty we are in.

3- Drowning symbolises an immersion in the Sea of Life, and therefore a loss of ego.... drowning dream meaning

Running

1- To be running in a dream suggests speed and flow.

To be running forwards suggests confidence and ability.

To be run- ning away from signifies fear and an inability to do something.

2- Obviously in dreams of running, time and place are significant. Where we are going will perhaps indicate why speed is needed, although if we arc being pursued this will also give some kind of reason.

To be running something as in managing - is to be taking responsibility.

3- Running in dreams suggests the potential for anxiety or distress. Spiritually we may be trying to do something too quickly.... running dream meaning

Baby

General: one s own feelings and urges at that level of development—such as possessiveness, joy, curiosity, innocent love, infant trauma; feelings of helplessness; vulnerability, lack of responsibility; being cared for. Also a new phase of life; a new idea; new activity—as when we say someone has a new baby, meaning a new project or business. When with a couple: the marriage—what is created in a relationship; the life process in us, based on reproduction. In a woman’s dream: desire for baby; responsibility of caring for baby; wor­ries about having healthy baby. In a man’s dream: desire for parenthood; weight of responsibility; fear of inability to pro­duce. In child’s dream: themselves at that age; feelings about a baby sibling.

Example: ‘I have my own baby who is lying in a cot in a bedroom looking very weak and pathetic with eyes closed. I know that he or she is getting weaker and weaker through lack of food and care. In fact the baby seems to be dying.

The feelings of guilt are terrible because I know it is my responsi­bility to do something to make it well. I keep saying to myself I must go and feed that baby—but I don’t. I just keep worry­ing and feeling guilty’ (JC). Because of circumstances we may not have been able to satisfy all our babyhood needs—we may have been weaned earlier than we wanted, our need for attention may have been unsatisfied—and these are shown as a baby in our dreams, as with JC. Dreams such as the above show how we sense the need of this pan of us to be cared for and nourished.

If some of these earliest needs are not met in some way, the development of our enthusiasm, our pleasure and ability to be involved and self-giving, may be cunailed.

Example: ‘I am 48, have two children in their late teens and definitely DO NOT want another baby. Nevertheless I have a recurring dream in which I am always in labour, expe­riencing no pain, and although there are nursing staff I am in some sort of laboratory, although everything is very pleasant. I never actually give birth and when I wake I always have a vague feeling of disappointment’ (VI). This dreamer’s con­scious decision to have no more children is in conflict with her biological urge for another baby.

Example: My mouth was full of what looked like liver. It was also coming out of my left ear. When I turned away from the mirror I saw medical people in caps and gowns who kept telling me to bear down. I then gave birth to a baby out of my mouth. I am an invalid and very sick at present’ (Mr MS). This man’s dream is about preparation for death.

The baby is the extraction of all that can live on after his present life is left behind in death. ... baby dream meaning

Parking Lot

Mentioning the lack of movement in your life, a parking lot may represent your inability to get going toward your goals. Not being able to locate your vehicle in a parking lot in a dream may comment that you have lost connection with your physical body, pointing to the need to get out of your head and into your body. This may be because you have parked too close to the issues of others and lost touch with yourself.... parking lot dream meaning

Blind

Dreams of being blind symbolize an unwillingness or inability to see what is happening right in front of your eyes. Perhaps you are processing your shock at being blindsided or overwhelmed by circumstances in your life.

To see flying birds, is a sign of prosperity to the dreamer. All disagreeable environments will vanish before the wave of prospective good.

To catch birds, is not at all bad.

To hear them speak, is owning one’s inability to perform tasks that demand great clearness of perception.

To kill than with a gun, is disaster from dearth of harvest. ... birds dream meaning

Europe

A place of protection and security, the shelter of the soul. Individual rooms symbolize the different emotional functions.

The house is also a universal female sex symbol.

Compare this to C. J. Jung’s 1909 dream in which— while exploring a house—he finds a flight of stairs that leads to the basement, where he discovers bones and human skulls. This dream was important because it led to Jung’s idea of the collective unconscious: Attics and basements are places that hold what we repress; rooms in the upper part of a house provide perspective and vision; bedrooms indicate sexual content; the kitchen is the place where alchemy provides transformation; the bath is the place for cleansing; a workroom is the place for everyday situations.... house dream meaning

Glasses / Spectacles

also see Ixns

1- For glasses or spectaclcs to stand out in a dream indicates a connection with our ability to see or to understand. Equally, if someone is unexpectedly wearing glasses, it is to do either with our lack of understanding or perhaps their inability to see where we arc coming from.

We can be conscious of our being hollow inside for instance, ‘it felt as though I had hollow legs’, or that we are in a hollow state - a state similar to the void (see Abyss).

Adultery

General Meaning: It can be a cause for concern if you dream that you are making love to someone that is not your spouse. You need to discern the spirit of the dream to determine if it is positive or negative.

• It is common to dream of embracing an unfamiliar man or woman. This could represent a leaning towards a prophetic or teaching ministry.

(Look up the symbol for ‘Man’ and ‘Woman” to get a full understanding on this) • The sexual act is a very intimate one. In fact in the Word when a couple made love, they were considered married. It meant that they were one. When you dream of having adultery, you need to ask yourself, “What am I becoming one with right now?” • Do you know the person you are committing adultery with in your dream? If so, determine what they could represent in your dream.

• Dreams • Positive: If you dream that you are embracing an unfamiliar man or woman, but it feels ‘right’ in the dream, then it could mean that the Lord is leading you to embrace something new in your life.

Negative: When you wake up feeling unclean and negative from your dream, then it is likely negative.

If you continue having this kind of dream, then the Lord is trying to tell you that you are marrying yourself to something that is not of Him.

• Consider this passage: • Proverbs 7:21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield; with the flattering of her lips she forced him.

• 22 He goes after her immediately as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks • This scripture is a perfect picture of the world.

The New Testament tells us that friendship with the world is enmity with God.

If you keep having this sort of dream, then it means that you are allowing yourself to partake of the world and things that are not of God.

• If you dream that your spouse is having an affair, you need to determine what your spouse represents to you.

If they represent the Lord in your dreams, it could mean that there is a contamination in your walk with the Lord.

• If you have a fear that your spouse is having an affair in real life and then you dream it, then your dream is clearly a purging dream. It means that you are simply living out in your dreams, the inner fears you have in reality.

• DO NOT: Accuse your spouse of an affair because you had a dream. You will only increase any fears and conflicts you have in your marriage.

• Visions • God is not in the business of revealing someone else’s sins.

A person’s sin is between them and the Lord. However it can happen as in the case of David where Nathan exposed his affair with Bathsheba for the sake of the people.

• If God reveals anything like this to you, it is for you to pray so that this can be exposed God’s way.

• If engaged in personal ministry, the Lord shows you the person in an adulterous affair of the past, it is for the purpose of healing and forgiveness. I recommend the use of tact in such a situation, followed up with prayer and counsel.

Negative: As in with dreams, if the vision you see is symbolic, then it means that the person in question is joining themselves to something that is not of the Lord. Either they are walking in the flesh or they are embracing the things of the world.

Eagle

The eagle is one of the most universal symbols in the world.

It is a strong animal that portrays our strength on the intellectual or spiritual field. This bird indicates that we have high aspirations, usually of conquest, power, and command. The dream will be positive if you identify with the animal, and negative if it transmits fear or pain.

If you have the impression of being an eagle and contemplating everything from above, your oneiric thoughts are denoting feelings of liberation.

If you see an eagle’s solemn flight high on the sky, it means that in real life you are about to give everything up for the sake of a goal or an ideal. Now, if you imagine an eagle flying while holding its prey, it is warning you that a relationship is about to turn to enmity.

If the eagle attacks you, there is a chance you will suffer a misfortune. The altitude of the bird’s flight is proportional to the importance of the events that are being planned. Similarly, the speed of such flight indicates the pace of those same events. Finally, if an eagle appears before a teenager attacking her in a dream, it could symbolize the emotional problems she is facing, as well as her inability to take on the responsibilities of mature love.

Formerly, it was believed that eagles were the messenger of the sun god. In this sense, your oneiric eagle may be the messenger of your unconscious. On the other hand, many mythological stories refer to this animal (the eagle and the lion, the eagle and the snake). It regards opposing psychologies: the spiritual against the animal; masculine against feminine; the conscious against the unconscious; reasoning against instinct...

It is also said that dreaming of an eagle portends fame and fortune. To see a calm eagle and to hear it speak is a favorable dream. A dead one is a sign of difficulty. Shooting it always signals loss. To lock it up in a cage: a great family shame. To take it off the nest: danger or threat. A white eagle promises a sizable inheritance.... eagle dream meaning

Luggage

Our symbolic baggage is nothing but the material we consider essential to “travel” through life. For this reason, losing your luggage is evidence of the inability to perform what you intend, because of lack of resources, or knowledge, or skills.

If it is too heavy and you can hardly move it, the dream indicates that you need to make concessions and revise your values.

If you give your luggage to someone the dream can express your desire to get rid of certain responsibilities.

Sometimes you carry too many material possessions, desires, concerns, and needs. This weight is delaying your spiritual progress. The lighter this luggage the more pleasant your life journey will be.... luggage dream meaning

Tongue

In general, to dream of a tongue means that you talk too much.

If you bite it, it should be read as a call for prudence. this type of dream tends to indicate that you are starting to realize your failures and regret some things.

If the tongue stutters, it denotes that you don’t know how to express your needs in a coherent manner.

If it hurts, the dream probably alludes to the fact that you have been speaking badly of someone or telling lies. For Freud, the tongue had a clear sexual meaning. Because of its shape and erotic function, he compared it to the penis. (See TALKING and MOUTH)

if the tongue you dream about is your own, it means that you will tell lies.

If it’s someone else’s, others will lie about you. To dream that you don’t have a tongue denotes the inability to defend yourself against slander. Finally, an infected tongue means that you speak too carelessly.... tongue dream meaning

Obstacles

Something that gets in your way in a dream is a symbolic block to moving forward in your waking life. This is one of the most frequent dream images and has a very literal meaning associated with it. Life is often experienced as a function of facing the obstacles that we must traverse to get from where we are to where we desire to be. This is a daily struggle. Dreams often help us balance out our sense of frustration and despair as we face this particular challenge, which is an absolutely universal human experience. There are two elements to consider when making an interpretation of a dream of this kind: what is causing the obstacle, and what part of the body or type of movement is being blocked.

The more important of the two is how you are stuck.

If the feet or legs are involved, this connects to how you are moving through your life. Feet guide us in the direction we choose, so if you cannot walk, your dream is reflecting an inability to make a new choice or find your footing firmly on the ground you desire.

If the legs are more prominently blocked, then your direction might be clear, but your ability to move forward is being hindered.

If your arms are being impacted the most, such as with netting, webs, or ropes, then issues of capability are probably at play.

If this is the case, there may be some area in your life where your effectiveness, strength, or creative power is what is being blocked. Some dreams of this nature involve obstacles to the face where something is blocking your ability to see, hear, or use your voice effectively. When this occurs, look to a situation in your life where you are not able to be as expressive as you need to be.

The other crucial element is what is causing the obstacle. Some obstacles that often appear in dreams are nets, quicksand, sticky floors, ground that opens up, and heavy legs or feet.

If you can make an association to the stuff that is blocking you, add this to your interpretation.... obstacles dream meaning

Road

The road in your dream is a symbol of your path or direction in life. Your individual path is a combination of past choices you have made and current circumstances and decisions you are about to make that determine the road you’re on in any given moment. Such an image in a dream is representative of your current life path. It can be a snapshot of where you are and how you feel about the present moment in your journey.

The more isolated the road, the more the dream relates to your private life and personal issues.

A public or widely traveled road will likely connect to aspects of your life that are more social in nature.... road dream meaning

Singing

Singing is an ancient, primal expression of passion. When words are not enough, singing becomes the next heightened form of communication.

The ability to sing is so revered that we elevate superior voices to high status in our media and culture. Technically, singing is merely a sustained extension of speaking; the basic principle here is the power and passion of the expression.

If someone is singing in your dream, the message that is being communicated is very important—so important that the spoken word was not enough to carry the force of the weight of that message. Therefore, it is important to consider what is being sung and incorporate the message into your interpretation. Losing your voice in a dream might correspond to a feeling of a lack of passion in your waking life or a loss of expression due to some challenging circumstance.

If you can sing in your waking life, your personal relationship to your singing is crucial to consider.

If you are critical of your singing, you may be connecting to being judgmental of your passion, or lack of it.

If you cannot sing as well as you wish you could, you might be longing for more passionate encounters by dreaming of being able to sing in your sleep state. Singing before an audience may connect to a need to rally inner resources behind some common desired aim or goal.

If someone else is singing in your dream, use the character-aspect technique to determine what part of you is expressing a passionate need to get your attention.... singing dream meaning

Teeth Falling Out

You are feeling insecure about some area of your life. Teeth serve three primary functions. They allow us to process our food so we can nurture ourselves. They express joy when revealed in a smile, and they can indicate aggression when exposed in a snarl. All of these things—nurturance, joy, and protection—connect directly to security and well-being.

If individuals cannot nurture themselves, attract loving connections, and protect themselves from danger, the basic constructs of a secure life are not likely to be available to them. Without these three important parts of life, fear will prevail. Therefore, when this dream image appears, issues of personal security are at the forefront of your unconscious expression. There are various levels of intensity associated with this symbol. It can fluctuate from a slightly loose tooth to having all your teeth crumble out of your mouth in a bloody mess.

The scale of intensity of the dream will indicate the amount of fear being expressed. Whether it is a general fear of being out of control, looking bad, aging, or some other issue of unmet needs, the appearance of this dream indicates underlying insecurity in some area of your waking life.

The teeth are used for chewing, and this association can indicate a need to “chew on something for a while,” as in mulling over a choice or course of action. “Sinking your teeth into something” refers to taking on life wholeheartedly. Losing your teeth in a dream could indicate an inability or unwillingness to do so. Losing our teeth as children is such a powerful rite of passage. On some level, losing your teeth in a dream will connect to the process of growing up, even in adulthood.... teeth falling out dream meaning
