A dream dictionary can help you explain your dreams. Though if you really want to know what you dreams mean, you should use the system that I describe on another page.
Please select the first letter of the dream image you are looking for.
A
accidents: Dreams about accidents often warn us for something that we do in daily life. For instance if we dream that we are driving through a busy town at sixty miles an hour and almost collide. This indicates that the dreamer runs great risks. Does the wheel of the vehicle break down? Then you may wonder if there is a situation in daily life which you can't control any more either.
animals: These often show our instincts, our urges. Especially aggressive and sexual urges. Animals with sharp teeth (sharks, tigers, crocodiles etc.) usually imply aggression. Our own aggression or that of others.
Is somebody attacked in the dream? Remember, you yourself have created the wild animal in order to chase that particular person.
B
bicycle: A vehicle that isn't self-propelling. It requires some effort on the part of the cyclist to move ahead. This may indicate that one must (or can) reach a certain destination in life by oneself.
bird: Symbol of new ideas and of the soul.
bridge: Is the bridge strong or rickety? Perhaps certain daytime difficulties will have to be bridged. On the other side may be a new beginning.
C
car: It is important to know whether the dreamer himself drives the car or somebody else is behind the wheel. This can refer to a daytime situation. Are there perhaps moments when you let yourself be 'steered' by others than by yourself?
Also see under accidents.
cellar: This is a symbol of the unconscious. All information which we have collected is stored here. Surprising things may be discovered in one's own dream-cellar.
chasm\ravine These prevent us from reaching a certain point (the opposite side). They often symbolize daytime difficulties. It is positive if a chasm can be bridged. It is also possible to go down into the ravine in order to get to the bottom of things.
chicken: Symbol of stupid (mindless) cackling. But in a positive sense an animal from which life develops.
circle: A circle is a common symbol of unity. It often indicates the union of conscious and unconscious aspects.
clothes: Show something about your personality. What kind of clothes are they? If you wear peculiar or ill-fitting clothes, this usually means that you do not feel at ease in a particular situation (in which the dream takes place). The same is true for dreams in which one is naked in public. On the other hand, well-fitting clothes, which also become you, generally show that you feel good. Especially if it is a style which you have chosen yourself and hasn't been forced upon you by others.
cook\baker: These people see to it that food becomes digestible. This dream-food usually refers to 'mental food' (or knowledge). Obviously it is important to know what the dishes consist of. Do you only eat desserts or tastier foot? 'You are what you eat' is often aptly expressed in dreams. Food (especially sweet dishes) can also have a sexual implication.
cornfield: If the corn is ripe you are dealing with a very positive sign. That which was sown in the past, can now be harvested. If the corn is not ripe yet, you will have to be patient just a little while longer.
cow: A symbol of the mother, in her capacity as a nourishing and caring person.
D
death\burial: In dreams these usually mean 'change'. In other words: the old (a rigid idea, a long drawn-out conflict etc.) must be buried to make way for the new. So it also expresses 'rebirth'.
