Recurring Dream Of My Father

Background Information

The dreamer’s father died a few years ago.  Their relationship wasn’t very good when he was young, but dramatically began to improve shortly before his death.  They long for his advice

The Dream

“I keep having this dream about my father that passed in 2005. In this dream he is not dead. I dont know my age in the dream, but I am living at home with him, but my wife and kids are not there. I don’t really see him per se, but I know that he is there. Its like he is at work. I go to meet him at his work and the people there tell me that he has left for the day or is out of the office working or whatever, but its always the same, he is not in the office. I try to call him on his cell phone and I can not get him. I call and call but he never answers. I go home, and the home is the house where I grew up. I can see his truck driving down the road so I know that he is not dead, its like I know that he *was* dead, but is back now, and its just something that we never talk about. Like I said, I see his truck going down the road by the house, so I call and call and call his cell phone, but he wont answer the damn phone and it really makes me mad. I keep trying to get ahold of him but he wont answer the phone. I am able to talk to the people at his work and they always have some excuse as to why I just missed him or what ever he isnt around, but I see his truck driving down the road and I call and call and cant get him on the phone. Its always some different scene, but always the same scenario. I have this dream all the time. I wake up depressed and sometimes crying. I am a 33 year old man and I dont know why I have these dreams and feel this way. Just needed someone to talk to I guess. I just wish one time in the dream that he would answer the phone.”

The Interpretation

The dream appears to be pointing to your difficulty grieving and getting over your father’s passing.  Clearly, you miss him very much.  Calling him and getting no answer in the dreams reflects your disappointment in being unable to have the personal connection you once had.  Asking him for advice or having a feeling of closeness is no longer possible.

Calling anyone in a dream represents our desire to connect to certain feelings, situations, or people. A cellphone reflects what we hold dear to us or wish to have in our lives the most.
If you are using your cellphone to call your father and he never answers this represents your desire to have him close to you in the your life and never being able to.

How Do You Decode Dream Symbols?

Question

Why/ How is it that certain relevant symbols come to a person in their dreams even when that person isn’t aware of their relevance or have any real working knowledge of these things? It’s not like I’m aware of the symbolic meanings of my dreams untill I look them up in your dream dictionary and then I find that the symbols fit into current situations.

Answer

As humans we commonly think or feel the same when in the presence of a certain symbol object. We tend to have many of the same feelings or reactions to places, things, or animals.     We tend to generalize and stereotype what we experience in a similar way.  A good interpreter understands this and is experienced enough to see how real situations mirror the dream symbols.

If our dictionary surprises you with it’s accuracy, it’s only because it’s back by research.  Unlike other sources we talk to people about their real lives and try to find common situations that are occurring when specific symbols appear in their dreams.  If 100 dreamed of something we try to find a common metaphor for that they are experiencing in real life.

Dream Of Red Lockers

Background Information

The dreamer feels that their cousin is preventing them from asking out a guy that they like.

The Dream

“i had a dream that i was in a locker room. I dont remember what i did exactly but i do remember that the lockers were painted red and there was lots of them.”

The Interpretation

Lockers in dreams symbolize issues that are being kept away from you. Something is being locked or kept away from others.  So the dream is most likely reflecting this issue with your cousin keeping you away from this guy.

The red color represents negativity. Meaning you are probably feeling that your cousin is not being fair or isn’t being genuine with you. Possibly a sign that you should defy your cousin and do what you think is best for you.

Recurring Dreams Of An Overdue Book

Background Information

The dreamer has a lot of school projects and responsibilities in college that are due.  They keep telling themselves that they will work hard to meet though responsibilities, but keep getting distracted or falling behind.

The Dream

“Last night I had a dream where I was in High School and I found out that I had a book that was way overdue. I also found out that I would have to pay a $200 fine for it being so late. It was like I went back to High School and completely forgot about the book. Now, I’ve had many dreams like this where I had an overdue book. I would like to know what the overdue book means….”

The Interpretation

The overdue book most likely reflects your feelings about your procrastination or being behind with school projects.  The high school symbolises your anxiety or concern about what you are you thinking as you attempt to develop yourself academically in college.  The overdue book symbolizes the ideas and answers you need to return to your teachers with your projects.  The $200 fine you expect to pay reflects the emotional conflict you expect to deal with from being late or falling behind.  The dream is most likely just a sign that you need to find a new ways to get organized.  The recurring nature of the dreams is just an indication that you’re regularly concerned about school performance, but haven’t gotten serious enough about it yet.

Recurring Dreams Of Things Not Working

The Dream

“I’m a modern day hippy but i do own a gun, but in my dreams my gun doesnt work iv realized this and im going to use it as my Entrance point to go lucid.. but its still kinda annoying any advise? i figure i may fix the problem when i go lucid, but hey it was worth asking.. thanks”

The Interpretation

Everything in a dream is a symbol for something happening in your waking life. Guns reflect the power to control choices or outcomes. If the gun doesn’t work then it may reflect your inability to have full control over a situation.  Ask yourself what it is you feel you can’t control or achieve in waking life.

Anything else in your dreams that regularly doesn’t work most likely reflects your ongoing disappointment or frustration with things you feel you are unable to achieve or control.

If you want to become lucid with your gun then I suggest you begin to stand up to problems or use all available resources to over obstacles you are dealing with. Face your fears and speak to people about your problems so that you can make real progress.  If you do this then when you sleep dreams may begin to reflect your progress by allowing you to use the gun.

Dream Of A Talking Spider

Background Information

The dream is in love with someone and doesn’t have the courage to reveal their true feelings to them.  The person they are in love with is also dating someone else.

The Dream

“I was on a ledge behind me was a wall in the corner of that wall was a spider the size of my head on a gigantic spider web when i started to stare at the spider because it was so huge i felt no fear just i didn’t want it any closer to me then it had eyes that seemed to recognize me and the eyes seemed so familiar afterwords it said Relax i wont bite i’m not venomous much then i woke up”

The Interpretation

The entire dream seems to perfectly reflect your internal struggle to tell this girl how you feel. You’re on the ledge to reflect how close you feel you are to telling her. How you are always one step away from revealing your true feelings. The wall behind you symbolizes the emotional barrier you feel from her friendship that feel keeps you from telling her out of fear of losing her.

The spider symbolizes your desire for her that you feel will never let you have her. It tells you to relax and that it won’t bite because you are telling yourself that you think it’s better to daydream of her than to lose her.  A sign that you are beginning to get too comfortable with the idea of being in love with her and never actually having her as your girlfriend.

The dream sounds like it time to make a choice. Tell how you fee or move on.

Dream Of White Piranha And Black Snakes

Background Information

The dreamer has done something that they know will embarrass them if made public.  They also fear their boyfriend will leave them if this embarrassing information is revealed to him.

The Dream

“ I dream that I was batman fighting 2 bad guys. The other one has a white piranha pet swimming in a crystal clear water underneath the wooden floor of the house on top of the mountain. His face was cover in make up like a clown and he keep on laughing. This bad guy dropped me half naked into the water feeding me to the piranha but the fish didn’t even bite me. He also have 2 snakes. One in the cage quietly bit moving in circle and it is black, the other one was also black with white shades and its with the piranha in the water and tried to bite me. There are also children in my dream and i saved them and told them to run down the mountain to their safety. Can anyone help me interpret my dream. i would really appreciate it. Thanks”

The Interpretation

It sounds like this piranha with the clown face represents your fear of embarrassment totally destroying your relationship. Clowns in dream most often symbolize embarrassment of some kind.  The piranha most likely reflects the possibility of having this embarrassing situation devour every part of your life. You feel the fallout of the revelation  may spread to a number of areas of your life with devastating consequences.

The snakes in the cage most likely represent the devastating consequences of this information that are currently under wraps.  Snakes in dreams usually reflect something in out lives that ruins or corrupts. In your case the snakes in the cage represent the potential that this embarrassing information has to negatively impact your life.

It sounds like this relationship is a significant part of your life that influences a number of other areas.  You may be concerned that being embarrassed with your problem will negatively influence everything you’ve built for yourself with this person.

I Dreamed That I Killed Jesus

Background Information

The dreamer feels that they are an evil “sinner.”  They are questioning their life and religion.  They also feel out of touch with god and regularly think about going to hell when they die.  On top of this they feel guilt for using non-prescription medication such as cough syrup to get high.

The dreamer also feels like life is never working in their favour.  They often expect failure and have given up believing that good things will happen to them.

The Dream

“My dream started in a square shaped room, with dark redish black walls and floor, and the only light was being given off by a lava pit in the center.. I was helping the devil, and I was asked to do something for him.. I was asked to kill jesus, and then do something with his body. I don’t remember killing him, but I do remember placing his body in the square room. He was chopped in half, and rotting. I layed his body down, and made a trail of forks leading up to his body.. and that was the end of it. If anyone knows what this would mean, please let me know.. I am not very religious but I am a Christian which is why this dream is very morbid.”

The Interpretation

Black and red in dreams usually points to a lot of fear or very negative thinking patterns. So the black and red room may symbolize your fear of going to hell. The lavapit in the middle of the room most likely reflects your belief that if you aren’t perfect you’ll lose your soul. Just like being near lava in real life you may feel that you can’t slip up at all or you pay with permanant consequences.  In this case it reflects you belief that you need to be morally perfect or face hell forever.

Jesus in dreams usually symbolizes an aspect of ourselves that sacrifices everything to positivity.  A reflection of positive habits that are focused on getting rid of problems or self-improvement.  A part of you that chooses to confront your problems.  If you are killing Jesus in the dream it’s most likely a symbol for you believing that you have done something bad that makes it impossible for you to sacrifice all that is negative for God or your religion.  You may feel that the drugs use is “soul baggage” and now you can’t be as perfect as you want to be.

The dream is probably a sign that you are experiencing a lot of anxiety spiritually and are too pessimistic about your spiritual status.  You also sound paranoid about what God thinks about your drug use.  The drug use is probably something you should try to replace with a more positive lifestyle choice, but not something you should believe you are going to go to hell for.

Text Message In A Dream

Background Information

The dreamer has not had contact with a friend of their for over 5 months.

The Dream

“I need some insight on a bizarre dream I had last night. During the dream I receive a text message of all things from someone that I have a complex relationship with. Our moment recent history involves us not being in touch for over five months.  The message in the dream was: ”Hey, how are you? You can tell me how you are doing, truthfully, no judgments here.” (This felt like he was asking for honesty but what I was thinking in the dream was, that he NEVER asks me how I am doing relationship wise or who is the man in my life. This is something that I’ve pondered in real life. I ask about his mate all the time and he never asks me if I am involved.) ”Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I just wanted to just what was for the highest good.”  Then he signs it and puts Rev in front of him name as if he is a reverend or something. This seems like a not so complicated dream but for some reason it feels more like it was implanted in the dream. That’s the only way I know how to explain it. And the screen on the cell phone had all these icons lit up, a call, a text, a letter, like he was responding to all forms of my communicating at one time.”

The Interpretation

The text messages sound like symbols for unspoken gestures or communication. Saying things without actually saying them. If your case it sounds like your becoming self-conscious about what the meaning might be behind your friend not speaking to you for so long and why he doesn’t take more of an interest your personal life.

Dream Of A Frog Following Me

Background Information

The dreamer has fallen in love with someone who they realized doesn’t feel the same way about them.

The Dream

“I was wondering if anyone can help me have a better understanding of my dream. I was at a beach house that looked like a hurricane took it down. I was climbing up the stairs when a frog (kind of like a bull frog) kept following me and I told the frog to leave me alone. the frog said he could not stop following me until I found true love. the frog followed me around for the rest of my dream and I told the frog we would become close friends because true love was impossible for me to find. can anyone plz help?? thanks.”

The Interpretation

The frog in the dream most likely symbolizes your feelings about how a relationship with the guy you like always eludes you.  Frogs in real life tend to sit motionless as we approach them making us believe that we can easily catch them before they finally embarrass us when we get too close.  So symbolically this frog reflects your constant feeling of disappointment that you can’t “catch him.”

You tell the frog to “leave you alone” in the dream to reflect you telling yourself that you don’t want to desire this guy any more.   You be growing tried of desiring him and the disappointment of knowing you can’t have him.

The rest of the dream sounds like you are too insecure about your prospects to find true love and may be using your desire for te guy you like as an emotional crutch until someone else comes along.   The dream appears to be a sign that you may need to be more confident in yourself and to try harder to get over this guy.
