Here is some information about some common dream images to get you started:
Dreams with Animals:
Animals pop up everywhere in our lives and, in turn, in our dreams. The subject of what animals mean in our dreams is as large as the number of animals there are to dreams about. Wild animals usually symbolize a sense of power or perhaps even a feeling of being out of control and domestic animals can mean the opposite a feeling of being "trained" or out of control. I could probably write ten pages in the impact of animals on Dream Interpretation alone. However, for this post, I will try to stick to addressing only a few of the most common.
The appearance of a lion in your dream usually symbolizes a feeling of raw strength, pride, power, or kingship. If you are the lion or the lion is your ally these symbols are most likely referring to something within yourself. Do you feel powerful and strong? If the Lion is attacking you or someone you know takes on the appearance of a lion, the your subconscious might be trying to draw your attention to a danger that your conscious mind has yet to recognize. Look at what else is going on in your dream or at the person taking on the dream shape and then take a closer look at what aspect of your life you think they are pointing to.
A dog appearing in your dream usually signifies exactly what dogs stand for, devotion and faithfulness. Did you have a dream about your husband playing with a dog? If you did, you probably feel pretty secure in your relationship. Unless of course, you hate dogs... then you have a whole different issue!
Cats are know for their mysterious nature, their independence, and their leisurely comfortable life. Wouldn't it be great to live the life of a cat? Lying around on comfortable chairs, then eating food prepared for you by your man servant before sunning yourself at a window with a beautiful view while you enjoy a nap? If your dreaming about cats, the image of the cat in your dream could be referring to just that. You could either be seeking or relaxed cat-like life or you are enjoying the fact that you already have it.
Dreams about Falling:
Falling dreams are a very common occurrence in dreams and one of those most talked about. While these dreams are usually scary, they may not always mean something. The body goes through cycles all night long, cycling between several different phases. As the body transcends into a deeper state of sleep, the complete relaxation of the body can often feel like falling. Many of have even experienced this sensation as we first drift off to sleep at night and it's quite common for your body to respond to this feeling with a reflexive jump that wakes you from sleep. That jump was the body's effort to try to protect itself from the impact it was expecting to come at the end of the imaginary falling sensation.
However, falling in a dream can also reveal something significant about your life. This type of dream most commonly occurs when a person feels like they have failed at something or when they feel overwhelmed by the their current circumstances. If you are having trouble sleeping due to common dreams of falling try sleeping with a pillow or other cushion pressed against your feet at night. The sensory stimulation to the soles of your feet will give your body the sensation of security and stability and has been known to drastically reduce the occurrence of falling dreams.
Dreams about a House or Apartment:
Dreaming about a house or apartment is almost as big a subject as animals. But, dwellings of some sort show up in most dreams so it is definitely worth covering some of their possible meanings here.
* Dreams being at home - Home is where you go to feel safe and comfortable. If you are in your own house or apartment you may be going there unconsciously to give your mind the opportunity to work through some difficult or chaotic activities that are happening in the outside world.
* Dreams about an unfamiliar house - These houses usually represent some aspect of you and can often be looked at as a physical extension of yourself. As you look at this house consider how it might relate to where you are in life right now. A big house may be trying to telling that you should expand your horizons. If you have taken on a big project that you are worried about being able to keep up with, you may dream about living in a mansions but being stressed about the maintenance of it.
* Building a house - dreams about building a house could be you're looking for more security in your life or expand on the life's foundation which you have already laid. This is a great time to start thinking about your future, your subconscious is already trying to tell you what you want and it will be easier to get in touch with that and decide your next big move.
Dreams about Flying:
Flying Dreams are one of the most common dreams. Almost everyone experiences a dream that involves flying at least once in their life while some dream about flying nightly. There has been a lot of speculation over the years about why we experience flying dreams so commonly. Some cultures even believe that individuals who are highly attuned to their spiritual side can have out of body experiences during sleep, and these dreams are actually memories of your spirit projecting itself and exploring during the night.
Dreams tend to show us our fears and hopes. So it is first important to consider how you felt during your dream about flying. If you felt happy or joyful during this dream, it may be reflecting a recent transcendence in your life. You've recently overcome a difficult situation or successfully gotten past an event that was worrying you. In these cases, the dream is reminded you to rejoice and enjoy your moment of victory. Your dream may also be drawing from a general feeling of peace and happiness in your life that has been ongoing for a while. If this is the case, congratulations!
Relax and enjoy the sites as your dream takes you exploring. If you experience a feeling of fear during you flying dream your mind maybe attempting to give itself an inner exposure therapy treatment. This type of treatment, often used by psychiatrists to treat individuals with severe phobias focuses around confronting your fear. In this case you may likely have a fear of heights, falling (see more about falling above), or even vertigo (the sense of being dizzy). While these dreams can often be disturbing there is a way to overcome them. Dreams about fears will cease once you have faced the fear and successfully negotiated the dream. Find a mantra that's meaningful to you, such as "In my dreams I have wings, and can control my flight and go where I choose, no harm can come to me." and repeat this to yourself as you are falling asleep each night. In this was you can control the outcome of your dream and tur
n the feeling of fear to a feeling of joy as you embrace the experience and grow past it.
Dreams about Death:
The interpretation of dreams about death is highly subjective depending on the the dreamers personal feeling about death and their religious beliefs. Often time, people dream about death in the process of coming to terms with their own mortality. If the dream includes a feeling of fear or anxiety, your subconscious mind may be trying to tell you that you need to come to terms with your own mortality. Life is a gift, but it's only temporary and, as many people believe, only a stepping stone to the next life. Whether the next life for you is eternity in heaven or rebirth to live life again, your body knows that you need to be comfortable with the idea that you are not going to stay in this life forever.
Once you come to terms with this fact, your dreams may evolve into dreams, that still include death, but are now based around the celebration of a good life and happy memories. If you've reached this stage in your death dreams, congratulations! You're subconscious is recognizing you and celebrating your own spiritual growth.
If you dream about a loved one dying, you may literally be afraid of their inevitable death or you might be experiencing a feeling of insecurity. Perhaps you're afraid that you're spouse is going to leave you or you children are about to move out of the house or head off to college. On a happier note, if the person you are dreaming about has recently made a change and eliminated a particular personality trait that you disliked, you might be celebrating it's passing from your life.
And remember, no matter what the old wives tales might tell you. If you die in your dream you don't die in life. Don't let your fear of death wake up up and stop you from moving forward to fully see what your dream is trying to tell you.
Dreams about Water:
Water is frequently considered a symbol for your emotions when it is present in a dream. Most people can tell exactly your dream water is symbolizing simply by remember how you felt during the dream when you looked at the water in question. Here are some hints when considering your water dreams.
* Large Bodies of Water - Oceans and seas usually represent our vast and complex emotional mind. A stormy sea may represent a feeling of turmoil while a sunny sailboat trip can signify a feeling of freedom and the ability to explore your own feelings without restraint.
* Rivers - A river in your dream can represent your emotional journey either through life or through the current situation. The state of this river will also tell you have strong and out of control your emotions are or how restrained you might be in experiencing those emotions. If you are trying to cross the river in your dreams, your own emotions may be getting in the way of where you want to go with your life. Take some time to look at how you feel about a decision, are those feelings holding you back?
* Muddy Water - If water represents your emotions, muddy water represents your emotions when they aren't cleaned properly! Your emotions may be confused or unhealthy, you may even being having harmful thoughts and suffering from depression. Take a good look at yourself when you have this dream.
* Where are you and where is the water? - If you are in the water then you are at probably one with your emotions. Or are you attempting to avoid your feelings completely by skirting around the edge?
* Drowning - What would a water section be if I didn't mention drowning? You may be able to figure this one out for yourself by now but I'll sum it up for you anyway. Feeling overwhelmed by your emotions? I bet you are, a dream about drowning most often has absolutely nothing to do with drowning at all. Instead it tell of a struggle between you and your own subconscious mind as you try to take control of your emotions. Who's winning the battle? Do you make it out of the water or actually drown?
Dreams about being Chased:
Ah, the famous "I'm being chased" dream. These dreams are very powerful and are one of the most common causes of kicking your partner in your sleep. So what does it all mean? Usually in running dreams you are running from someone or something that you are extremely afraid of. You should stop, turn around and take a good look at what it is your running from because it's probably yourself or, more accurately, some part of yourself that you don't like.
The interpretation of dreams about being chased is a varied as there are possibilities in pursuers. If someone is trying to rape you, you might be afraid of or feel guilty about having sex. If you're being chased by an animal go back up and read about animals again. Do you have qualities of that animal in yourself that you don't like?
The good (sort of) news about dreams about being chased is that they are frequently recurring. This is a great opportunity to practice the ability to control your dreams. We all have this ability, and if you can harness it and turn around and face your attacker boldly, you will overcome this inner struggle quicker both in your dreams and in life.
Dreams with Cars:
The first step in deciphering a car dream is taking a good look at what kind of car it is. if you are driving a fancy sports car may indicate that you have a sense of success or power in your life or someone else you know may be telling you that you feel that person has power over you. Driving an off road vehicle may be your mind trying to tell you that you are long overdue for an adventure and a sedan or SUV may indicate the opposite, that you are ready to settle down and maybe even start a family.
If you dream of being in a car accident, it may be an indicator of very serious problems in your life. The size of the accident is normally proportionate to the size of the problem. Hopefully you have this dream early enough that you can use it as a warning for the impending problem in your life. Take a good look at who else was in the accident, especially who was in the other car.
Dreams about being Lost:
A lot of times, dreams about being lost are quite simply a representation of feeling lost in your waking life. A person can be lost in many ways including loneliness, confusion, loss, or even lost in a new town. Before you go to far into trying to understand what else this dream might mean, consider your life and see if there are any aspects of your life that are making you feel lost right now.
Dreams about mazes or labyrinths often indicate confusion over a choice or series of choices you have to make. As you travel down turn after turn the outcome of your choice of turns could indicate just how deep your level of confusion runs. Did you reach the end after only a few choices or are you still trying to find your way out?
Dreams about being Naked:
Although I've never personally had a dream about being naked unless it's as part of the subject coming after this one, my reading tell me almost everyone else has. This is a difficult theme to interpret because it is highly dependent on your culture and how you personally feel about nudity. For this short post we'll focus on the western society and the idea that public nudity is a bad thing and suddenly finding yourself out in public with no clothes on can be quite a shock to the system
If you find yourself in one of these embarrassing situations while you sleep you are most likely expressing a feeling of vulnerability or exposure. Students who dream or showing up at school naked are most like feeling vulnerable at school, perhaps they are the target of the class bully or maybe they uncomfortable with themselves and how they feel
they compare to their classmates. Businessmen who stand up in the board room to give a speech naked may be feeling the pressure of an upcoming project or delivery weighing heavily on the future of their job.
For those of you who embrace public nudity and have no feelings of anxiety during your dream. This is a very positive image dealing with openess and honesty. If your significant other is hanging around you with no clothes on throughout a dream, in a non-sexual nature, then you most likely enjoying your trust in them. On the other hand if it's you that is naked then you are likely to be rejoicing your openness with the people also involved in your dream or even the world.
Dreams about Sex:
And finally, dreams about sex. I saved this one for last because I knew it would be the most fun to write about, and think about... (ahem). Interpreting dreams about sex are yet another highly subjective topic that varies greatly based on the person. This dream can mean something different depending both on how you felt during the dream and how you feel about sex in general.
First of all, regardless of what your priest might say, the endorphins released when you achieve an orgasm are a great source of stress release and are also craved by your body. Your dream about sex may simply mean that it's just been to long and your body is tantalizing itself into relasing those endorphins without physical assistance. So before you try to analyze what your dream might mean, keep that in mind.
Fantasies - Many, many... way too many people have unfulfilled fantasies. If you dream about sex in a new and daring way, this could be your subconscious way of fulfilling your own fantasies especially if those fantasies are illegal or dangerous or simply against your moral fiber. Dreaming about them won't lead to the complications that actually performing them might.
Sexual Problems - You may be experiencing problems in your current sex life. Your mind may be trying to deal with going to long without a partner or work through some issues you are having in bed with your current partner. But sexual problems in dreams don't always translate directly into sexual problems in life. I always know when I'm ready to move on from a relationship because, every time, I dream of the man I'm seeing suddenly having a pencil thin penis. This isn't just because he's not satisfying me in bed, that may not even be the case. But he is always not satisfying my emotional needs.
Adolescence - This is probably the time in our live when dreams of a sexual nature are most prevalent. There really is no interpretation here other than the obvious one. You are discovering yourself sexually. Whether those dreams involve feelings of fear or anxiety about losing your virginity or endless nights of pleasure as your try new and different things in your sleep. Those dreams are most likely reflecting exactly how you feel in life.

But if you did compile that library, some of those books would include dream dictionaries, which will give you a detailed guide to what the imagery in your dreams means based on cultural stereotypes. Jung himself put together an extensive dictionary on this topic himself. There is some validity to this approach because we all do learn common symbolic imagery. For all of us, the symbol of the cross means one thing and the symbol of the flag of our country tends to be easy to understand. So if we see those images in our dream life, a
