40 DREAMS SYMBOLS AND THEIR MEANINGS

30 Common Dream Symbols and Their  Meanings.

Dreams are like letters from the unconscious mind. If only they were written in the same language we use in waking reality.Fortunately, we do have the ability to study our dreams and interpret the common dream symbols they contain.Although there is no hard-and-fast rulebook of universal definitions, the following dream meanings offer a sound starting point for most people to create their own personal dream meanings. 

1) Animals often represent the part of your psyche that feels connected to nature and survival. Being chased by a predator suggests you're holding back repressed emotions like fear or aggression.

2) Babies can symbolize a literal desire to produce offspring, or your own vulnerability or need to feel loved. They can also signify a new start.

3) Being chased is one of the most common dream symbols in all cultures. It means you're feeling threatened, so reflect on who's chasing you (they may be symbolic) and why they're a possible threat in real life.

4) Clothes make a statement about how we want people to perceive us. If your dream symbol is shabby clothing, you may feel unattractive or worn out. Changing what you wear may reflect a lifestyle change.

5) Crosses are interpreted subjectively depending on your religious beliefs. Some see it as symbolizing balance, death, or an end to a particular phase of life. The specific circumstances will help define them.

6) Exams can signify self-evaluation, with the content of the exam reflecting the part of your personality or life under inspection.

7) Death of a friend or loved one represents change (endings and new beginnings) and is not a psychic prediction of any kind. If you are recently bereaved, it may be an attempt to come to terms with the event.

8) Falling is a common dream symbol that relates to our anxieties about letting go, losing control, or somehow failing after a success.

9) Faulty machinery in dreams is caused by the language center being shut down while asleep, making it difficult to dial a phone, read the time, or search the internet. It can also represent performance anxiety.

10)  Food is said to symbolize knowledge, because it nourishes the body just as information nourishes the brain. However, it could just be food.

11) Demons are sneaky evil entities which signify repressed emotions. You may secretly feel the need to change your behaviors for the better.

12) Hair has significant ties with sexuality, according to Freud. Abundant hair may symbolize virility, while cutting hair off in a dream shows a loss of libido. Hair loss may also express a literal fear of going bald.

13) Hands are always present in dreams but when they are tied up it may represent feelings of futility. Washing your hands may express guilt. Looking closely at your hands in a dream is a good way to become lucid.

14) Houses can host many common dream symbols, but the building as a whole represents your inner psyche. Each room or floor can symbolize different emotions, memories and interpretations of meaningful events.

15) Killing in your dreams does not make you a closet murderer; it represents your desire to "kill" part of your own personality. It can also symbolize hostility towards a particular person.

16) Marriage may be a literal desire to wed or a merging of the feminine and masculine parts of your psyche.

17) Missing a flight or any other kind of transport is another common dream, revealing frustration over missing important opportunities in life. It's most common when you're struggling to make a big decision.

18) Money can symbolize self worth. If you dream of exchanging money, it may show that you're anticipating some changes in your life.

19) Mountains are obstacles, so to dream of successfully climbing a mountain can reveal a true feeling of achievement. Viewing a landscape from atop a mountain can symbolize a life under review without conscious prejudice

20) Nudity is one of the most common dream symbols, revealing your true self to others. You may feel vulnerable and exposed to others. Showing off your nudity may suggest sexual urges or a desire for recognition.

21) People (other dream characters) are reflections of your own psyche, and may demonstrate specific aspects of your own personality.

22) Radios and TVs can symbolize communication channels between the conscious and unconscious minds. When lucid, ask them a question.

23) Roads, aside from being literal manifestations, convey your direction in life. This may be time to question your current "life path".

24) Schools are common dream symbols in children and teenagers but what about dreaming of school in adulthood? It may display a need to know and understand yourself, fueled by life's own lessons.

25) Sex dreams can symbolize intimacy and a literal desire for sex. Or they may demonstrate the unification of unconscious emotions with conscious recognition, showing a new awareness and personal growth.

26) Teachers, aside from being literal manifestations of people, can represent authority figures with the power to enlighten you.

27) Teeth are common dream symbols. Dreaming of losing your teeth may mark a fear of getting old and being unattractive to others.

28) Being trapped (physically) is a common nightmare theme, reflecting your real life inability to escape or make the right choice.

29) Vehicles may reflect how much control you feel you have over your life - for instance is the car out of control, or is someone else driving you?

30) Water comes in many forms, symbolizing the unconscious mind. Calm pools of water reflect inner peace while a choppy ocean can suggest unease.

31) It's a very common situation for people in dreams to find themselves in a school or classroom, often confronted with a test that they aren't prepared to take. This is a great example of a "dream pun" -- the mind using a word or concept and giving it a different definition. The "lesson" or "test" we face inside the school or classroom is frequently one we need to learn from our past -- which is one reason these dreams are often reported by people who have long since finished school.

32) Unknown to most people, the body is actually encountering a form of paralysis during dreaming, which prevents it from physically performing the actions occurring in their dreams, therefore dreaming about paralysis frequently represents the overlap between the REM stage and waking stage of sleep. Dreaming about paralysis can also indicate that the dreamer feels he or she lacks control in their waking life.

33) Although death is often perceived as negative, it's often more directly related to dramatic change happening for the dreamer -- the end of one thing, in order to make room for something new.

34) Flying in a dream, and how effectively or poorly it's done, relates to how much control we feel we have in our lives, and whether we are confident and able to achieve our goals. High flying is one of the most euphoric dreams imaginable, while flying or "skimming" low to the ground or being caught in obstacles like power lines can be immensely frustrating.

35) Not all falling dreams are scary and negative. Some dreamers report a type of slow falling that indicates serenity and the act of letting go. Often, falling uncontrollably from a great height indicates something in waking our life that feels very much out of control.

36) Emotional or psychological exposure or vulnerability is very often expressed in dreams through nudity. The body part that's exposed can give more insight into the emotion that our dreams are helping us to understand.

37) Dreaming of a baby often represents something new: It might be a new idea, new project at work, new development or the potential for growth in a specific area of our waking life.

38) Games are the dreamer’s perspective of life. “Game of Life” or we can say the “games people play” and how they play them. Games have to do with learning skills, rules, talents, showmanship, training, practice, winning or losing, teamwork or solo performance.

39) Money symbolizes exchange value and worth.  Things of value would be a new talent you weren’t aware you had, a new quality or gift within you. It could also represent a new vision or new understanding of something. Look at how you are receiving money/valuables to interpret how you feel about yourself. 

40) Mountain  is a challenge or obstacle. Depending on your mind set, you may see a mountain representation of something that you feel is an overwhelming obstacle, or you may view it positively as a great challenge you are ready to take on. A mountain can represent your life, your job and task you’re involved in, a project or a goal.

DREAM VISITATIONS.

One of the most common experiences people have with spirits is visitation dreams.  While many people are quick to brush off any visitation dream as the result of the grieving process and not an actual communication from a departed soul, we tend to think otherwise. Visitation dreams occur more than you may realize. There are several common traits to visitation dreams that greatly differ than your average dream of showing up to work or school without pants. 

What is a Visitation Dream?

Simply stated, a visitation dream is a dream in which a paranormal entity interacts or communicates with a person. Most visitation dreams are the result of a deceased human being. Some claims involve angelic or demonic entities - albeit much less common.

Why are Visitation Dreams so Prominent?

We stated earlier that visitation dreams are very common - why is that? It is much easier for a spirit to interact with us through our dreams. When we sleep our minds shift from real-life tasks, concerns, and distractions to a state that is more open to communication. The state of the brain is similar to the mind-set of a medium who can communicate with a spirit. While our other five senses are resting, the so-called sixth sense takes over.

Common Traits of Visitation Dreams

There are several common elements of a visitation dream that usually makes them easy to identify. Most dreams are a mixture of images that do not make sense. We think we only remember bits and pieces (if any) of our dream - but they are just garbled up scenes with little logic. The perceived senses are also a bit muted.

With visitation dreams the following traits usually apply:

• Dream very vivid - Nothing about the dream seems muted. It feels like reality. The dreams are nothing like you experienced before.

• Important message derived from encounter - Usually the message is loud and clear.

• Strong feeling that the person was real - and not just a memory. The deceased looks younger or healthier than their final moments or days. They may appear relaxed or at peace.

• Physical touch - Most encounters have a sense of a comforting touch - be it a hug, a touch on the shoulder, or the person reaching out. Some encounters however, are far from comforting.

• Sense of intense emotion - There is often overwhelming happiness, sorrow, angst, or any other emotion.

• Very few distractions - The emphasis of the dream revolves around the interaction between the dreamer and the spirit. The dreamer usually remembers any conversation verbatim.

Reasons for Dream Visitation

Every spirit is an individual; they all have some reason as to why they visit. We believe that most spirits that utilize dream visitation as a method to communicate have passed over to the other side and are not trapped in this realm. It is thought that dream communication is the easiest for those that have crossed into Heaven.

Most visitations can be broken down into these categories: 

• Deliver a warning - Usually a warning to change one's ways.

• Forgiveness - Either to ask for forgiveness or to forgive. 

• Deliver a message - It could be as simple as a "Hello" to a very complicated message.

• Deliver a message for another person - If another person is incapable or subconsciously blocks communication attempts, the spirit may pick an easier receiver.

What Evidence Can We Gather?

Since it is impossible at this point to tap into one's dreams, there really is no scientific method to provide any tangible evidence of visitation dreams. We do feel strongly that there is enough empirical evidence to state that they really do happen. In other words, in a court of law, it may be classified as circumstantial evidence.  

We are aware of several claims where one person experienced a dream visitation then wake up and experience a secondary sign that sometimes accompanies the dream. They will wake up their spouse and he/she will also witness the experience. In many cases, there is actually more than one witness. 

For example, after the dreamer awakes, they may be overwhelmed with a fragrance that was associated with the deceased - for example, a perfume/cologne, tobacco smoke, even food. We call such unexplained odors olfactory apparitions and they are quite common in active locations. Other claims can consist of an item appearing that was not there before or a piece of unknown information being confirmed through further research. 

Other reported claims may include someone else seeing a bright light as their partner is sleeping. Then there are many claims where two or more people who live great distances all have the same person visit on the same night with the exact or similar message.  

Non-Paranormal Ghosts in Dreams

While we certainly believe spirits can visit us in our dreams (we even had it happen to us), we realize that not all “spirits” or “ghosts” that appear in our dreams are actual paranormal events. Some of these images may be the result of our subconscious minds. So what does this figure represent – fear. Fear of your own death or dying, everyone has that fear in varying amounts. Some more pronounced than others. Another subconscious feeling which may create an image is the feeling of guilt. If someone feels that they have not adequately said goodbye or feel guilty about what they did or said to someone who passed (or even regret not forgiving the person) the subconscious mind can impact a dream. 

Another reason for a shadowy figure that instills fear or sadness in dreams are those skeletons in the closet. Those little (or big) actions, words, or thoughts that make us feel guilty can come back to haunt us as our subconscious mind can create a bad dream.

So how does one tell if a dream is a true visitation dream or just the action of your subconscious? In a real visitation dream, there is no doubt (see traits above) and there is a feeling or a delivered message. A figment of one’s subconscious can relay fear, our own fear. Shadowy figures in dreams are often said to be the figment of our subconscious. Real visitation dreams (even negative ones) there is vivid detail of the spirit or ghost. Many psychologists claim that the vague or shadowy figures in our dreams are our own fears that we do not want to see and they are the fears that we do not like.

So why do our fears or regret takes the form of ghosts in our dreams? Because all that we are bombarded with from childhood to adulthood is that “ghosts are pure evil” and to be afraid of. Your subconscious takes this scary image and relays them as the vessel of your real fears or regrets. As with all paranormal events, dreams too need to be analyzed and rationalized to see if the event was truly paranormal or another explanation.

The subconscious mind taking your fear and regret and turning it into something that scares you further is a vicious cycle. One that needs to be broken. That’s why we must learn to forgive and forget (and hope others do as well), need to let people know how we feel about them, learn what is truly important in life, and have faith in yourself and in a higher power.

SOME DREAM SYMBOLS

Symbol Meanings Common in Dreams

 symbol meaning for enhancing your own interpretations. It's a smart move to pick out prominent symbols in your dreams because they can highlight prime-roots of meaningful activities going on in your life.

Why?

Because your dream is a message for you. Furthermore, dreams are a form of self-communication. Dreams arise when certain aspects of yourself are reaching out to contact other aspects of yourself.

So, by becoming more familiar with dream symbol meaning, we become more familiar with ourselves...essentially arming ourselves with wisdom. This comes in handy on a daily basis...particularly in times of stress or anxiety. Knowing ourselves through our dream meanings can give us a creative way to solve problems, know ourselves, and react to situations in a more healthy manner. Rather than just knee-jerking our way through life, knowing ourselves on a dream level gives us power for conscious, creative living.

With that in mind, here are a few common dream symbol meaning s to assist in your self-interpretations.

Common Dream Symbols and Their Meanings

Altars:

  Dreaming about an altar tends to symbolize that a project you've been working on will be successful. If there are lighted candles on your altar is a double sign of success. Kneeling in front of the altar suggests you are a deeply spiritual person, and that divine intervention will assist in your success. Angels: Angels in dreams are the personification of a divine idea that has occured to us. Angels appear in our dreams when we are examining our attitudes, and indicate that we need to also examine our motivations. The Angel is a messenger. When we take the time to trust and soul-search, they will lead us to new insights and new directions. Dream appearances of Angels also indicate a strong desire of harmony, guidance, strength, friendship and emotional connection.

Bags: The dream Bag contains character and personality traits that either hinder or help you. As such, it is necessary to pay attention to what is hiding in the Bag. When a Bag ocurrs in our dreams, it is a message to search our unconscious deeper to uncover what is blocking us or what is supporting us. By identifying these things we are able to accelerate our growth.

.

Clocks: The dream Clock, as you would guess, deals with time. Specifically, the Clock may indicate that you are afraid that life is moving by you, or things are moving too fast. If you are dreaming that you are winding a Clock, this means that you may be starting a new phase in your life, or heading in a new direction. If the Clock alarms then you are faced with a life-changing decision.

Devils: The Devil in dreams symbolizes darkness and confusion. Its dreamtime visitation may also mean you are preoccupied with negative thoughts, or someone in your life is bringing you down to a negative emotional level. The Devil may also indicate you are dealing with temptations. The Devil is also the personification of ego - it may be time to soften your ego a bit.

Eyeglasses: Dream symbol meaning for Eyeglasses deals with how you see things in your world. If you are wearing Eyeglasses in your dream it is a symbol of moderation, balance, and virtue. If you've lost your Eyeglasses, you are going need to be aware of lies being told in your life, and some unsolved mysteries may be coming your way. If you dream of Eyeglasses by themselves, it may mean you have a distorted view of your world and surroundings at this time.

.

Forest: Have you heard the adage: "can you see the Forest for the trees?" Dream Forests deal with experience, vision, emotions and shadows. Forests in our dreams may indicate unresolved feelings about something, or not being able to see our way clear of a problem. Forests may indicate we feel lost in our lives. On the otherhand, if you are dreaming of a beautiful, lush Forest, this indicates an unshakable faith in the Divine and prosperity is your destiny. Seeing a Forest fire indicates health problems. 

.

House: Dream symbol meaning for House deals with the body, as well as a desire for security and safety. The condition of the House in your dream represents how you truly feel about your current sitation. If the House is in ill-repair or disarray, you need to take a close look at your health. If you are building a House, you should expect visits from old friends and you'll make new friends. A picture-perfect House means you are ready to settle down into a more stable situation.

Mask: Dream Masks deal with the inability to be comfortable with being ourselves. When we dream of Masks, it often inferrs that we are not comfortable in our own skin, or we are incabable of showing others our true selves. Often, Masks represent overuse of drugs, alcohol or food to cover up our emotions. If others are wearing Masks in your dreams, it may mean that others are not being fully honest with you.

.

Mountain: Mountains in our dreams symbolize conquering, overcoming, hard work, willpower, and ascending above petty circumstances. Climbing the Mountain implies hard work in learning a new skill. Descending the Mountain implies stepping back from a situation, taking time to think about your actions, getting a second opinion. A Mountain range in your dream represents a new adventure, and is a message encouraging expansion in your life.

Rings: Dream rings represent a promise or bond we have with our destiny, with another person, or with our community. This symbolic bond is incredibly strong and infinite. When we dream of a Ring slipping off our finger, we must rekindle the relationships we've let slip. When we dream of Rings that are stuck on our finger, we need to re-examine an unhealthy relationship.

Shoes: Shoe dreams deal with walking certain paths in our lives. If you are wearing tight Shoes, the road you are traveling is hard, and much sorrow is involved. Comfortable Shoes indicate you are in a good place in your life and success is around the corner. Buying Shoes indicates you still have quite a distance to travel until you reach your goals. Dirty, worn-down Shoes encourages us to examine our spiritual walk, or asks us to take a walk of faith. 

.

Tunnel: Dream symbol meaning of Tunnels deals with birth, and sometimes death. Tunnels in our dreams ask us to look back to a starting point. In Tunnels we often encounter our deepest mind - our unconscious thoughts. Tunnels encourage us to follow a path into the unknown. They are a message for us to begin exploring our own concepts of life, death, and birth.

Umbrella: Umbrellas in our dreams indicate our need to take a closer look at our worries and fears. When we have an open Umbrella in our dream we must act carefully and watch how we behave with others. A closed Umbrella means we are worrying and obsessing unnecessarily. When Umbrellas appear, we must ask what we are afraid of because our fears are holding us back from progress.

Water: Dream symbol meaning of Water deals with cleansing and emotional stirrings. If the Water is murky in your dream, this is a warning not to get involved in new endeavors. If the Water is clear, success is coming your way. Seeing yourself in waters reflection means that you aren't being fully honest with yourself. When you contemplate your dream of Water, keep in mind Water is a symbol of your emotional state.

Dream Meanings in Color

Color meanings in dreams can be very telling about what's going on in the deepest waters that stir within us.

Adding color meanings to dream interpretation adds another layer of understanding. For example, if we're dreaming of lizards, the color of the lizard will indicate another facet to our dream interpretation.

our dream meanings are unique to you. No one can accurately pin-point the deeper message of a dream but you. Dreams are intensely personal - it only makes sense that you are your best interpreter.

Red:

  Dreaming of red is about activation, physicality, passion and intensity. In the chakras red is the root, it's a primitive energy that expresses itself in terms of survival and prime instinct. Consider the deep blood red that runs through our veins. Life-affirming, flowing, and activating our energy on a very base, physical level. Red is the root that runs through our psyche. It speaks to us of dormant power. Consider fire. It requires an igniting action. The capability of fire is all around us, but it takes a spark to release the power. I particularly love the symbolism of volcanoeswhen contemplating color meanings in dreams. The red hot energy is always there, just under the surface. What provokes its resurfacing is key. 

If you see red in your dreams:

• What needs activating in your life?
• What physical (body, material) conditions need your attention?
• Are your basic, primary needs being met?
• Is stagnation disallowing reproduction?
• Is it time to reconnect with nature?
• Are you in an environment that allows you to ignite your passions?

Orange: Orange in dreams is a sign of equalization, balance and temperance. Orange stands stoically between the raging initiations of red, and the themes awareness/realizations of yellow. It is not entirely physical and not completely mental. Orange is the fulcrumand our perception the teeter-totter. When we dream in oranges, we are asked to consider what is in-balance (or need of balance) in our lives. Orange offers messages of harmony and contentment too - often achieved through a specific (sometimes lengthy) cycle of time. Orange also asks us to build up our immunities, freshen up our routines and engage in practices that enhance our daily lives. On a personal note, I think of pumpkins when my clients tell me they've dreamed in orange. Pumpkins speak to me of manifestation - from tilling soil, to planting seed, to tending the plant, and then harvesting. In other words, actions over a period of time lead to specific results. .

 Color meanings of orange in dreams offers questions like:

• What needs balancing in your life?
• How can I temper my obsessions yet still remain creatively productive?
• What kind of results are my actions, over time, going to yield?
• Am I approaching my life in a creative way?
• How can I incorporate more creativity and play in my daily life?
• What's my idea of satisfaction, contentment, completion?

Yellow: Yellow color meanings in dreams radiates themes of centralization, focus, awareness and reminds us of our role as humans within the context of the whole. Consider the yellow tones of the sun, and how central this star is to our existence. Consider the center (solar plexus) chakra which is also yellow and governs our will and even our sense of identity. Some of the first flowers to burst out of a long dormancy are yellow (dandelions, daffodils), this screams to me about awakening - resurfacing - becoming aware (maybe for the first time) of the larger picture of life. Yellow is the color of intelligent design, and when we dream in yellow it reflects a special kind of clarity. Yellow is a bright idea, and an epiphany on a grand scale. When we dream of yellow, our deeper consciousness is paving the way (yellow brick road?) to a path of higher understanding and mystical awareness. Yellow centralizes our energetic focus so that we may intensify our presence. That intensity then radiates outward - just as the light of the sun does. Effectually, dreaming of yellow indicates a time of intelligent reflection in which we are influencing the world around us in amazing ways.

 Questions prompted from color meanings of yellow in dreams:

• What perceived barriers do I have that prohibit my greatest view?
• What core belief do I express that puts me in the best advantage?
• How am I influencing others?
• What is my guiding light, and how can I remain illuminated?
• What can I do to gain more clarity?
• What steps can I take to nurture my creative awareness?

Green: Color meanings of green in dreams often point us in the direction of growth, healing, love, giving, and inspiration. Green corresponds with the heart chakra, which governs passion, love and healing. The Anahata is associated with the element of air, and so we see a different kind of love than what we experience in the primal red hues. Green is symbolic of communicating care on a subtle, energetic level. When we dream of green, we are imbued with a magical ability to transfer knowledge by unorthodox means. Green facilitates growth, love and healing by mental stimulation. Greeks believed intelligence came from the heart. This combined with the green of the heart chakra talks to us about emotional intelligence and communicating with an open heart. I realize I'm being vague here, this kind of ethereal communication isn't easily identified. However, we can look to mother nature for help in explanation. She speaks in viridian tongue - communicating a sea of burgeoning growth - all expressed by the color green. When we dream of green we're experiencing levels of healing and growth that are subtle. It's time to concentrate on the areas of our lives that need to flourish. Once we hone in, and begin to express our identification on an emotional (heart) level, our growth will be exponential and immense. . Questions prompted from color meanings of green in dreams:

• If your life were a lawn, what would it look like?
• How could you improve you lawn's health, appearance, longevity?
• How am I communicating my love to others effectively?
• Am I aware of my own needs and meeting them?
• What other methods of communication can I develop?
• What if wellness was programmed in my DNA? How can I tap into that inherent health?

Blue: The color meanings of blue in dreams point to thoughts, ideas, dreams and the ability to convey them. I've got a lot of artists as clients, and overwhelmingly, these brilliant minds feel, think and dream predominantly in hues of blue. I believe it's because their prime motivation is to effectively convey their visions to the world. These artists find purpose in expressing their ideas through remarkably profound (and creative) methods. That's what the color blue asks us to do. Consider the skies overhead. This atmosphere is symbolic of vast, endless opportunities for discovery, renewal and expression. As humans, our attempt to define, project, perceive and share this vastness is innate. We've got to take it all in, process, and then tell everybody we know about it (art, music, literature, even social media are all testimonies to our need to share our perceptions creatively). So, when we dream in swirling blue hues, it's often a sign of our ability to tap into the vast mysteries of life. That's step one. The other step our blue dreams ask of us it to interpret these mysteries and share them with our environment. Blue dreams remind us that opinions and perceptions can be run on a neuro-network...a path of interchange and exchange. .

 Blue color meanings in dreams might ask questions like:

• If I suspended judgment, how would I describe my environment?
• What's my ideal of tranquility?
• How can I more effectively communicate what I'm feeling?
• Am I aware of my own immortality ?
• What's my idea of "flying high" and how can I connect with that feeling more often?
• What ideas can I share that can potentially change the world for the better?

Indigo: Indigo color meanings in dreams are about psychic tuning, contacting the ephemeral, and connecting with spiritual vision. Indigo goes deep, real deep. Therefore, deep minds will dream in indigo as a message that indeed, there is no end to the proverbial rabbit hole experienced by Alice in her Wonderland. Indigo is the wonderland, and once submerged in the oceanic waves of extrasensory perception, there is no limit to the non-linear knowledge that can be obtained. It sounds heavy because it is. Dreaming in indigo marks the consciousness' ability to dive far deeper than what daily reality holds. If you're dreaming of indigo, next time make a conscious (lucid) effort to dive even deeper, push the limits - and you will find there is no end to the startling revelations available to your perception. Indigo dreams are initiations into a world where common rules and conventionalism will not apply. Consider the deepest, darkest depths of the Marianas trench - far deeper than this is the capacity of the psychic mind. Dive in, there's endless treasures to be found in the dreamy realm of indigo. .

Indigo color meanings in dreams ask us:

• How far can I move into my deepest presence/awareness/consciousness?
• How fully can I trust in the things I see with non-physical eyes?
• What are my beliefs around extrasensory perception?
• What's my viewpoint on reality? How can I shift that if I want?
• What purpose do my dreams and visions serve?
• Where is my power?

Violet: Color meanings of violet dreams indicate divinity, peace, tranquility and enlightenment. I hesitate to even use that word "enlightenment" because it's tossed around so haphazardly. We're talking about a devout presence of knowingness in violet hued dreams. It's as if higher wisdom is a personality of its own, and it presence is standing within your body - thinking - knowing - watching - independently yet separately. It's a sensational experience, and violet dreams are a glimpse inside that kind of awareness-phenomenon. Violet is about blossoming and opening up to new, unconventional experiences. It's chakra is the crown, and is depicted as a thousand-petal lotus unfurling its luscious body to drink in all the sensations available to it. And, the key is everything is available for the lotus sensory organ to devour. Violet dreams mark the union of the soul with body, mind and divine consciousness. With this kind of conjugation comes bliss, satisfaction, and rest. These are fleeting moments...swim in them loosely for as long as you can. The more we swim in violet energies, the more we'll experience this lucid presence of knowing. So, if you have violet dreams, appreciate every square inch of them, because they are a real gift from the divine source. . 

Violet color meanings in dreams ask us:

• How can I become more fully aware of the watcher within?
• How can I experience life more fully?
• What is my highest intent for life, and are my actions aligned with that intent?
• Is peace a state of mind? State of being? What are my beliefs about peace?
• Do I have to earn contentment and tranquillity?
• What is my relationship with this present moment - this now?

What about black and white dreams?

Dreaming in black and white indicates a heavy reliance on structure, uniformity and order. Black and white dreams point to a distinct separation between reality and fantasy. Some of my colleagues encourage integration of right and left-mind behaviours when they learn their clients dream only in black and white. I'm not sure I agree. I'm more inclined to explore the shadows, and values in the black and white and mine the meaning from that landscape rather than learn another method of dream expression.

Black and white dreams can offer crystalline perspectives. They offer fewer distractions so the purity of meaning can be more easily sought. Furthermore, black and white dreams offer a crisp, clean beauty that is incredibly remarkable to the exploring mind.
