Dream Symbols
Dream symbols are the language that the subconscious mind uses to tell a story or convey a message in a dream. As with any language, their meaning is not always obvious and they must be translated using common sense, intuition, and an element of imagination. See Top Dream Symbols.
How to Use Dream Symbols
Dream symbol meanings are different for each person. It's important to consider:
- Personal meaning—What the dream symbol means to you, what it reminds you of, how it makes you feel.
- Context—How the dream symbol appears in the dream. For example, in a dream about a bee—what was the bee doing, how and where it was doing it, and how did you feel about it?
- Look beyond the obvious—A dream is often about something other than its obvious meaning. Physical events in the dream commonly represent mental or emotional matters.
