phallic symbols.

dream interpretation

Dreaming about death
is very common and it can be interpreted in many different ways. Death

one thing and a beginning of another. Death dreams usually have positive
symbolism. If you are the dead person in your dream, it could imply that
you would like to leave all of your worries and struggles behind and
begin anew. Dreaming about someone that you care about may express your
fear about losing them. Dreaming that one of your parents died may
express fear of loss, but it also may be an unconscious valve through
which you release anger and other negative feelings. In some cultures
dreaming about death and dying is a very good omen that represents
longevity and prosperity.

meet up with the deceased on the inner planes and engage in "real"
interactions with them. It is normal to miss and long for the people
that we loved and that have left the physical body. Therefore, it is not
surprising that they will pop up in your dreams from time to time. A
personal belief system plays a large role when obtaining a satisfying
interpretation for dreams in which the dead talk to the living.

dream interpretation

destructive. You can determine the meaning and message in your dream by
looking at all of the details carefully. All dreams are good dreams in
that they bring unconscious materials to the conscious mind. Only then
can you begin to effectively cope with the more unpleasant sides of your
personality.

side the "shadow." The devils in your dreams could be representations of
your personal shadow or they could be a glance at the collective shadow.

your personality. If you are being treated like a dog, you are most

and an unyielding personality. Also, it may represent a person who has

repressed unconscious material, including fear. However, the dragon in

time when the dreamer will confront his fears and empower himself to

able to obtain greater inner and outer freedom.

in his life.
Drugs
dream interpretation

depends on the relationship, you have with drugs in your daily life and
if they are doctor prescribed or not. If you are a drug user, then the
drugs are an extension of what you normally do and you need to look at
the other details of your dream to get a good interpretation. However,
if you use drugs rarely or never, then this dream could represent a need
to get well, to escape from daily stress, and a desire to get quick
relief. The drugs could be suggesting a need for healing and getting in
balance. Your unconscious mind may be suggesting outrageous things in
hopes that you get the message to "have fun, dream dreams, and get out
of your own head!" Please keep in mind that the purpose of dreams is to
raise our consciousness and to assist us in having better lives. The
message in the dream about drug use is most likely not encouraging you
to use drugs but it may represent a need to feel better or get better.

"float" away from your current difficulty.
