Faces
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
It is very common to dream about all kinds of faces. Strange faces
and familiar faces alike are frequent images in our dreams. Interpret
your dream by considering the face and the general content of the dream.
A stranger's face could represent different parts of your personality or
psyche. You think that you are seeing a stranger but in actuality you
are seeing a different part of yourself. Jung said that the stranger is
a part of you that comes from the unconscious. A comic face may indicate
that you have a conscious or unconscious need to mock or snub the
conventional. Featureless faces suggest that you may feel unnoticed and
unappreciated. On the other hand, some believe that the blank or unclear
face represents a teacher. That is someone who is there to show and
teach you a lesson but you are unprepared for it and the face is blank.
Smiling faces are representative of happy thoughts and feelings and
possibly anticipation of a joyful event in the near future. Always
remember the compensatory nature of dreams and their ability to point to
the opposite of what you experience in daily life.
Fainting
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Dreams that we remember are those that have penetrated through our ego
defenses and their messages have began to come into our conscious
awareness. Often, we do not have a full understanding of the meaning of
a particular dream. Awareness is a long and continual process. If you
remember dreams in which you are fainting, the setting of the dream and
the details leading to the fainting spell are important. Fainting in
your dream suggests that you are unable to consciously confront the
issues or the topic that is being raised by the unconscious. In daily
life, we faint when we are ill or when we are overcome by environmental
forces (i.e. heat, smells, a traumatic event or a dramatic visual
image). In the dream, internal forces, images or emotions that may be to
powerful for us to process may have an overwhelming effect on the dream
ego and fainting occurs. The fainting dream may be the first step in a
process of becoming more aware of a particular area of your life. The
unconscious will continue to send up messages and eventually you may be
able to experience the unconscious psychic event that currently results
in fainting.
Falling
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
This is a common dream which usually represents underlying fears and
feelings of inadequacy and helplessness. Interpret your dream by
considering your primary fears, current difficulties, and situations in
your life that seem to be on a downward spiral, especially those
situations that seem outside of your control (financial, romantic,etc.).
Some people believe that if you keep falling in your dream and don't
wake up that you will die at the point of impact. This is absolutely not
true. In a falling dream you wake up out of fear and not because of
danger of dying. Superstition based dream interpretations say that if
you fall a long distance in your dream and get hurt, be prepared for
really hard times ahead; but if you fall and are not injured your upsets
will be minor and temporary.

Father
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Dreams with fathers in them can be looked at on several different
levels. You may be dreaming about your father and expressing your
feelings about him in a safe way. Traditionally, a father dream can be
seen as symbolizing authority and power. In the dream you may be
expressing your attitude about strengths and weaknesses as they relate
to your position in life and your general attitude toward society. The
image of the father could also represent the "collective consciousness,"
the traditional spirit, and the yang.
Fear
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
If you are experiencing great fear in your dreams, you are having
nightmares. These types of dreams are positive because your unconscious
mind is trying to tell you something. If you have repressed issues, they
may be coming to the surface. Think about the fear in your dreams and
try to be honest with yourself. Face your fears and as a great American
president once said "There is nothing to fear, but fear itself." Having
fearful dreams seems to be relatively common. Most dreams are unpleasant
and that is the nature of our private unconscious. Issues and concerns,
repressed emotions, and daily stress all contribute to an uneasy sleep
and to fear filled dreams.
Feces
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Dreams containing feces may be odd but they are not uncommon. Feces
represent those things that you no longer need, things that are
currently garbage or waste and need to be discarded. This dream may
represent healthy psychological progress. It may indicate that you are
cleansing yourself of unnecessary and possibly hurtful attitudes, ideas,
and emotions. At times, and depending on the details of the dream, feces
could represent a contaminated area of your life, mind, or spirit. Look
at the details and consider if the image of feces is in regard to
something that you have been trying to clean or if it brings up stress
provoking thoughts, confusion, and difficult and unresolved areas of
your life. In some cultures people believe that if you are dreaming
about feces you will soon prosper financially. (Feces in the dream means
money in the hand.) See

Defecation.
Feet
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
For some people, dreaming about feet can be a very sexy dream.
Besides sexual connotations, the dreams can represent your ability to
move forward in life. Dreams with feet in them point to how well you are
balanced and grounded.
Fences
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
May represent your level of self control. Maybe you need more or less of
it. Additionally, this dream may express your need for privacy or
connote feelings of being trapped. The details of this dream are vital
to its interpretation, including your feelings while having the dream.
Ferris wheel
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
The Ferris wheel could be symbolic of the "circle of life." It may
represent the ups and downs of life that create the total life
experience. The circle is one of the most important dream symbols. It
points to the center of personality and our being that in turn brings up
issues of completeness and wholeness in our lives. Since the Ferris
wheel is associated with fun and excitement, this dream may be an
encouragement for the dreamer to "lighten up," see the larger picture,
and possibly develop a more positive attitude.
Fighting
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
It usually symbolizes anger and confusion that comes about in times
of change. If nothing is changing in your life, it may be a clue that a
change is needed or that you want to change internally. Fighting with
strangers usually represents an internal struggle. Fighting with
familiar people may be an extension of daily life and a reflection on
your relationship with them.
Fire
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
This is a very complex symbol that can have both negative and
positive connotations. When interpreting this dream, you need to
consider all of its details and your emotional responses in the dream.
Fire can be a deeply spiritual symbol representing transformation and
enlightenment. On the other hand, it could represent danger, anger,
passion, pain or fear. Is the fire in your dream destroying something or
simply warming you? Are you currently engaging in negative behaviors or
are knowingly making wrong (or destructive) choices? Your unconscious
mind may be warning you and at the same time encouraging you to alter
those things in your life that may be hurtful and dangerous.
Fish
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Some people believe that when you dream about fish you, will soon
find out that you or someone you know is pregnant (water of the womb).
Others believe that if you see fish in your dreams, it is a forecast for
sickness and poor health. In Christianity, Christ is at times
represented by the fish symbol (spirituality). These water dwelling
animals may represent messages from our unconscious and indicate to us
how well we navigate through our emotional waters. They could symbolize
body and soul nourishment and navigation through the unknown depths of
ourselves.
Floating
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Floating in water can be symbolic of floating on top of your
emotions and being in harmony with the unconscious. Floating through the
air has the same symbolism as flying. Floating usually represents your
current feelings of peacefulness and general freedom. On a more negative
note, floating could also be symbolic of your aloofness, lack of
connection or a need to become more grounded. In order to interpret any
dream appropriately some self evaluation and honesty is required.
Meaning of dreams is very personal and specific for each dreamer.
Flood
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Floods are caused by heavy rain and the melting of snow. Water in
any form, including rain and snow, symbolizes emotions. Dreaming about
being in a flood is an indication that the dreamer is currently
experiencing powerful emotions that may be overwhelming. The flood in
your dream could represent a very powerful, or even violent, emotionally
cleansing experience. But don't worry, just like in an actual flood,
waters reside and so do emotions. Water at times represents the flow of
life and this dream may point to your feelings of being overwhelmed by
it. Depending on the content of the dream and your emotional experience
in it, the flood could also represent sexuality and be a sexual dream
symbol. See Also:
Disasters
Flowers
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
When we look at flowers, most of us feel some joy and vitality. At
the very least, we appreciate their beauty and see their value. Flowers
are beautiful and in our dreams they could represent the simplest
feelings of contentment to the deepest feelings of spiritual
completeness. A circular flower is a friendly sign which could be the "mandala"
symbol or the symbol of wholeness that represents the "psychic center of
the personality." Additionally, the colors could symbolize the psychic
centers in our bodies called chakras. Flowers also represent hope
and positive growth, along with simplicity, innocence, and possibly
virginity.
Flies
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
These insects are annoying and they take away from the enjoyment of
any moment or situation. Consider the details of your dream and try to
figure out if these flies represent anything in your daily life. They
could symbolize people and things that get in your way or they could
mean that you are currently experiencing annoyance and frustration.
Consider whether you are successfully getting rid of the flies in your
dream or if they are overwhelming. This may give you a clue as to how
well you are coping with distraction and frustration.
Flying
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Dreams of flying are common and most people can recall having flown in a
dream or two. There are many ideas as to what this means. Some people
believe that flying in our dreams can be an actual out of body
experience, that we go to places on this physical plane as well as into
the inner planes (mostly the Astral). Edgar Cayce thought that Astral
travel or "soul travel" might be a precursor to becoming lucid in a
dream. Carl Jung's idea was that in a flying dream we are expressing our
desire to break free of restrictions and limitations. We have a desire
to be free and above all difficulties! Alfred Adler thought that this
dream was a type of a superiority dream in which we reveal the desire to
dominate and be above others. Focusing on the libido, Freud thought that
flying was another way to express sexual desires. The details of your
dream will give you clues as to what it symbolizes, if your dream was a
spiritual experience or ego based. Enjoy it, flying is fun!
Fog
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
When driving, fog is an obstacle or a hindrance that makes things
obscure. In a dream it may represent those things that are creating
confusion and prevent the dreamer from seeing clearly. The setting of
the dream may also give you clues about the area of life that it is
referring to. Is the fog over water or land, are you in familiar or
unfamiliar surroundings? Does the dream represent the journey into the
unconscious, where things are obscure and mysterious, or does it
symbolize a part of daily life that is unclear, ambivalent and
challenging. Either way, if the fog lifts before the dream ends, it
suggests that awareness and clarity are forthcoming. However, if the fog
in the dream was oppressive and frightening, take some time to reflect
on what causes such feelings in daily life.
Food
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
People often dream about food. All types of food are a consistent
part of a dream life. Anything from meat to elbow macaroni comes up
through our unconscious and leaves vivid memories upon awakening. Food
is symbolic of a large variety of things. It could symbolize pleasure
and indulgence. To the perpetual dieter, the dream could have a
"compensatory" function where the food that is denied to the individual
during the day shows up in the dream state. Dreams could additionally
symbolize physical, mental, spiritual and emotional nourishment.
Forest / Woods
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
They may represent your unconscious or your "mental space." If you
are lost in the woods, it may be a reflection of feelings of confusion
and lack of clear direction. The dark and threatening woods may
represent the dark and unexplored areas of the psyche.
Friends
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Our dreams are full of symbolism with their messengers being all
different types of people. It is very common to dream about our friends.
These are individual that are emotionally valuable to us and we learn
about ourselves through them. Dreams are very rarely prophetic, thus
whether your dream was good or bad, don't expect it to come true. This
dream is more than likely attempting to bring up uncomfortable feelings
that you have about yourself or others. (Remember "uncomfortable" does
not necessarily mean bad.) Dreams are created by our own thinking
processes, our own thoughts (conscious or unconscious) create dreams,
thus, the mind that created the dream also knows its meaning!!!

Frog
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Old dream interpretation books say that frogs are a good omens and
represent happiness and great friendships. From a more modern point of
view, frogs may be considered symbols of the unconscious because they
live in the water. Frogs also represent transformation of the positive
kind.
Fruit
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Fruit represents abundance and prosperity. As a result of the seeds
that they carry, they may also represent new beginnings. In biblical
stories, mythology and literature in general, fruits have enjoyed much
symbolic meaning. They may represent sexual desires and the search for
wealth and immortality. In order to understand the meaning of the fruit
in your dreams, consider your current strivings and psychological space.
Also, consider whether the fruit was ripe, rotting or bitter. All of the
details will help you to understand whether you have a lustful heart,
are at a new frontier, or have missed opportunities for growth and
pleasure.
Funeral
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Dreaming about funerals does not necessarily symbolize physical
death for you or anyone else. It could instead symbolize an ending of a
different kind. You may be burying relationships, conditions or even
emotions that you no longer need and that are no longer conducive to
your personal growth. On the other hand, this dream may symbolize the
burying of sensitivities and emotions that are too difficult to cope
with. It may reflect numbness or a feeling that is the opposite of
aliveness, such as depression and emptiness. Either way, burying a
person that is alive suggests some emotional turmoil. Please consider
all of the details in this dream to find the appropriate message. Old
dream interpretation books say that dreaming about funerals is a dream
of the contrary. Instead of sadness, the dreamer will experience
happiness and go to celebrations, such as weddings.
