Example 2: A woman dreamed of needing to shield herself from being splashed with blood from a girl who had committed suicide in real life. In waking life she was trying to emotionally shield herself from depression and thinking of suicide.

To dream of giving something a shine may reflect feelings of needing to make some area of your life more impressive. Needing to talk about yourself in more impressive ways for the sake of appearances because it's more professional.

Example: A man dreamed of his father putting a thick layer of shoe polish on his shoes to clean them giving them a shine. In waking life he was unemployed and having trouble getting a job. The polish used to clean and shine his shoes may have reflected his awareness of needing to start talking about himself in a more impressive way in order to get a job.
