Man
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
All different kinds of people clutter our dream landscape. The men
in your dream may include family members or total strangers. You may
dream about your father, son, husband, or friend and should interpret
the dream according to its details. A man, particularly the father
figure, may represent collective consciousness and the traditional human
spirit. He is the Yang and his energy, when mobilized, creates the
earthly realities. Depending on the details of the dream, the masculine
figure could be interpreted as the Creator or Destroyer. At times, women
dream about men that are strangers to them. These men may represent the
women's unconscious psychic energy. Carl Jung called the stranger in a
woman's dream the "animus." He represents autonomous, unconscious energy
and he plays a vital role in obtaining a deeper understanding of self.
At times, a strange and ominous man in men's dreams could represent
their "shadow" or their negativity and darker sides of personality.

Map
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
The interpretation depends on whether you are following a map to a
particular destination and you feel good about it, or whether you are
trying to follow a confusing chart. A confusing chart may indicate that
you lack a clear sense of direction in your everyday life or are in the
midst of changing long term plans. Following a good map in your dreams
suggest that you are feeling confident in your current path and
pursuits.
Marriage
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
It is a symbol of commitment and, depending on the details of your
dream, you may be currently dealing with this issue. The commitment
could be to your work, to yourself or to your partner. Mostly, a
marriage in your dream represents the coming together all various parts
of yourself (feminine and masculine, or spiritual and rational). It
could represent a greater level of awareness where by the dreamer's
conscious and unconscious elements are becoming more familiar and are
embracing one another. The marriage dream is affirmation and
encouragement to grow in self-awareness and to transform yourself. On a
more practical level, if you are not married but would like to be, this
dream could also be a form of wish-fulfillment.
Mars (Ares)
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
The "fiery" planet is named after the Greek god Ares and Roman god
Mars. He was the god of war, spring and youth. Mars was the guardian of
young men and was himself highly impetuous. Mars represents energy,
aggression, violence, desire and the male sexual organs. He is sometimes
the symbol of life and death. In mythology, Ares was often beaten and
humiliated by his enemies. He was like an ill tempered child that was
unable to receive the amount of credit that he desired. Thus, seeing
this planet in your dreams may be symbolic of your own frustrations that
lead to aggressive thoughts and feelings. Mars is a symbol of male
energy. This energy, when used in positive ways, creates permanent
change and transformation. The dream maybe encouraging you to get in
touch with raw emotions and desires, to ponder upon them, and then to
use them to transcend difficulties.
Masks
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Masks might represent our persona and how we appear to others. The
roles that we play in life such as parent, student, or worker. On the
other hand, masks can be a symbol of pretentiousness. If you are wearing
a mask, look inside and check if you are being sincere in your
presentations, or if you are hiding something and pretending to be
something you are not. If other people are wearing masks, it suggests
that you may be concerned about their genuineness.
Maze
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
The maze could represent your current mental outlook. A maze is a
frightening and confusing place. If in your dream you are trapped in a
maze and are having difficulty getting to the end, then you need to stop
and consider your current emotional and psychological status. I don't
mean to suggest anything is terribly wrong. Simply speaking, are you
often confused and unsure of which way to go? If you are facing many
hard decisions this dream is a good indicator that you need to step back
and look at the entire picture. Edgar Cayce said that being in a maze in
a dream may be symbolic of an "emotionally disorganized" person. At
times we are all emotionally disorganized and confused, but admitting
this dream's message is step in the right direction.
Medicine
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Taking medication is always indicative of an attempt to restore
one's health. Your unconscious mind may be encouraging you to take
measures to insure your health and happiness. Consider all of the
details of your dream and decide if the medication taken was helpful or
hurtful. Try to connect these thoughts to your situations in daily life.

Melody/Song
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Hearing sounds in your dreams can be looked at from a spiritual
point of view. Nice sounds are usually positive symbols. Some may say
that in your dream state you have traveled to other higher and more
spiritual plains. Traditional interpretations tell us that if you hear a
familiar melody, you may bump into old friends. Psychologically
speaking, you may have heard a song during the day and in your dream
state you are simply replaying it. However, since dreams always have
meaning, the song that you are dreaming about may have messages in it
that will assist you in solving a problem or will help you to feel
better.

Menstruation
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
It is a common dream for women and its interpretation is mostly
positive. Dreaming about having your menses can be symbolic of releasing
tension and worry. Women are often concerned about their reproductive
system. (i.e. pregnancy, sexual relationships or their body's "time
clock.") Parallel to the menstrual cycle there is a monthly emotional
cycle that most women are aware of and experience. During the time of
menstruation there is a release of anxiety and an attainment of
emotional balance. As a dream symbol it suggests that some difficult
times may be over for you and that you can relax. On occasion this dream
suggests a loss of energy and disappointment.
Mercury (Hermes)
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
As a metal, mercury is a universal alchemical symbol representing
the yin. It is the symbol of the passive and the undifferentiated state
which may be found deep within the psyche. Chinese refer to it as
"liquid silver" and it corresponds to the dragon and to bodily fluids of
blood, semen, water and, at times, to the kidneys. The planet Mercury
may be seen as following the Sun (universal father; consciousness; life)
and the Moon (universal mother; birth; unconscious). In Greek mythology
Hermes was the messenger of the gods and the god of speed. This
intelligent and quick witted immortal, easily traveled between heaven,
earth and the underworld. Seeing the planet Mercury or the metal in your
dream may represent your need for communication, adaptation and
movement. All of these may be necessary for daily life. However, this
powerful dream symbol may be calling your attention to more personal and
intrinsic matters. It may suggest a need to look carefully into your
internal world. By doing so, you may become aware of a need to the
develop a more fluid ability to navigate within your psyche, which
includes your thoughts, motives, feelings and intuition; then notice the
way all of these components are translated into and effect daily life.
Milk
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
The interpretation of this dream can be looked at from two very
distinct viewpoints. First, milk can be a safe representation of semen
and you may have unconscious (or conscious) desires for sexual
relations. Second, milk is a symbol of nourishment and it suggests,
depending on the details, that you are giving or receiving an adequate
amount of support and consideration from your environment.
Mirror
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
It is a symbol of vanity and superficiality. You may be concerned
about your image and the way you present yourself to the world. Some say
that if you see a clear image, you may be getting a glimpse of your true
self. Broken mirrors always seem to be a sign of bad luck, or, at least,
represent some distortions. On a deeper level the mirror can be
considered to be a representation of the intellect. The intellect is an
instrument of navigation and is constantly persuading us to identify
ourselves. When we think about this, it makes a lot of sense. Our
self-identity is very much connected to the way we look (not only
superficially but also characteristically as man - woman, young - old,
etc). We use this self-identity, which is greatly a production of our
intellect, to navigate through life.
Money
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
The significance money has in your waking life is reflected in your
dream state. Money is a symbol of power and wealth. We often judge
ourselves based on our ability to make it, save it, and spend it. First
consider your own relationship with money and your current financial
situation as this dream could be simple wish-fulfillment. As always,
consider all of the accompanying details in your dream because they will
help you to understand where your issues lie. Traditional dream
interpretations indicate that losing money in your dream is a good omen,
and that probably the opposite will happen. Generally, money may
represent those things that are most valuable to you and not necessarily
cash.
Monster
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Dreaming about monsters and demons is very common. They may represent
negative forces inside of yourself and in your life. Most of the
monsters are representing your own negative characteristics and
tendencies. The monster in your dreams could be your fear, bad temper,
negativity, smoking habit, or anything else that is hurtful and needs to
be changed. The way that you deal with the monster in your dream is
generally symbolic of the way you are dealing with the corresponding
negativity in your daily life. If you wake up from this dream and are
very frightened, just remember that your mind created those images and
that their purpose is to teach you something about yourself.
Moon
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
The moon is an interesting symbol that connotes feminine energy; it
is associated with the irrational and the intuitive. The moon effects
the ocean tides, and it has been linked to madness or lunacy. As a dream
symbol is can represent all of these things and more. As always, pay
attention to the details in the dream before making conclusions. The
moon could represent romance and our earthly impulses and passions. It
could reveal things about the nature of soul and the unconscious. For
those lucky people, the moon can reflect their inner peace and feelings
of serenity and security.
Moth
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
A moth is not very attractive, desirable, or known for many positive
attributes. There is the story of a moth being attracted to the flame,
which got to close to the flame and was destroyed. The moth in your
dream may be pointing out a personal weakness or may be bringing to
light a deception in your life. It could be suggesting that you are
being lead to a place where you will be hurt unless you recognize the
danger. Since dreams are very rarely literal, the danger could be
emotional or psychological, not necessarily physical.
Mother
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
The relationship that we have with our mother is the most
psychologically significant relationship of all. Rarely all good or all
bad, our mothers always invoke powerful emotions. We may dream about our
mothers in many different forms. She may be disguised in our dreams, and
it is our job to find her in there. If you are dreaming about your
mother, you may be addressing some issues or concerns in your dream, or
your dream may be based on a valuable memory. The general image of
"mother" in a dream may symbolize a variety of feelings and ideas:
caring, nurturing, love, acceptance, hard work, sacrifice, martyrdom,
etc. The mother in your dream could also represent the "collective
unconscious," the source of the "water of life," and the yin.
Carl Jung suggests that
women in dreams represent our collective unconscious and men the
collective consciousness. Thus, the woman is that force, or current,
inside of you that nudges you on and inspires you. It is your intuition
and the knowledge that in not necessarily attached to words. Men, on the
other hand, represent the active part of us that use the information
received to create the physical reality of our lives. When the two are
working together well, we have balance and experience awareness leading
to peace and productivity.

dream interpretation
meaning of dream

and rewarding. Some say that the mountain may represent spirituality
while others suggest mental development and self-awareness. The most
literal interpretation of climbing a mountain is that it represents
attainment of goals. If you are ascending a mountain you may be are
working hard and trying to accomplish your goals, whether they are
spiritual, emotional, or material.
Music
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Hearing music in your dreams has positive connotations. Music is healing
to the soul, and as you are listening to it in your dream, you may be
connected to the wonderful, creative spirit or flow of life suggesting a
degree of inner harmony and emotional expression.
