Had a dream that I was at Brittany's house and she was showing me around and there were bugs everywhere.  I kept trying to avoid them (not going through doors - going the other way, etc.), but Jamie kept laughing and pushing me towards them.  Right before I woke up, there was a grub / centipede walking over towards my foot (I was barefoot) and I was trying to get away, but Jamie was holding me steady so I couldn't leave.  I was freaking out as he was getting closer and closer.  I remember feeling absolutely terrified.  It was about half an inch away from crawling up my foot when I woke up.

Interpretation:

To see a bug in your dream suggests that you are worried about something. It is symbolic of your anxieties and/or fears. What is literally bugging you? Alternatively, the bug may be representative of your sexual thoughts. 

To see a centipede in your dream suggests that you are letting your fears and doubts hinder you from making progress and achieving your goals. You need to stop thinking negative thoughts. 

My thought on this is that subconsciously I might be worried about the results of my thyroid biopsy (or I might be worried about having to have it redone).

In the dream last night, we were having a meeting at work.  We were all sitting around the table when I fell asleep and then Ryan fell asleep right after me.  Erik was also there, he'd stopped by to see how I was doing.  Suddenly I woke up and everyone was gone, I looked at the clock, which happened to be the clock on our stove, and it said 7:33!!  Brittany and Dana had left me at work!  I called Brittany then to yell at her.

To dream that you are in a meeting suggests that you need to redirect your energies toward a more productive endeavor. Alternatively, the dream means that you are learning to accept various aspects of yourself and integrating them into your personality.

To dream that you are at work indicates that you are experiencing some anxiety about a current project or task. The dream may also be telling you that you need to "get back to work". Perhaps you have been slacking off and need to pick up the pace. Stop procrastinating. Alternatively, the dream reflects your success.

Or the dream may mean you are overworked or preoccupied with work. You need to make time for leisure and relaxation.

To see your coworkers in your dream, highlights aspects of your waking relationship with them, including difficulties/support. It signifies your ambition, struggles and competitive nature.

Work-related dreams can also often be linked to stress at work.

To dream that you are sleeping denotes peace of mind. Alternatively, it means that you are ignorant of the conditions and circumstances around you. 

To see a clock in your dream signifies the importance of time in some waking situation. You may be feeling some anxiety of not being on top of things. Your mind may be preoccupied with a deadline that you have to meet or some other time-sensitive issue. It is time for you to tread on and speed up your actions.

Seven signifies mental perfection, healing, completion, music and attainment of high spirituality. The number seven may also refer to the seven deadly sins, the seven days of the week, or seven chakras. Alternatively, the number seven indicates uniqueness and eccentricity.

Thirty-Three represents high potential and spiritual awareness. 

This one is pretty simple.  Obviously this dream is telling me that I'm stressed at work, overworked, and have anxiety about all the things to be done.  I did have a good review yesterday on something I had worked on, which is probably where the "success" and "high potential" come in, but otherwise I think the dream is bluntly saying that work is exhausting (thus my falling asleep) and that there isn't enough time for everything that has to be done - something I was just thinking about yesterday morning.

Last night was a restless night filled with four different dreams.

In the first, Dana, Brittany, and I were all sharing a bed.  Dana was sleeping across the top where the pillows go, while Brittany and I were sleeping normally.  Dana was sound asleep and Brittany and I were trying to get to sleep.  As we were trying to fall asleep, a small ostrich came in - only maybe a foot tall.  I got worried because ostriches are mean, but figured since they can't fly, he couldn't get up on the bed.  He hopped up and landed right on the bed, where he then turned to a full sized ostrich.  Brittany and I started freaking out because we didn't want to get  attacked by this ostrich.  We pulled the covers over us, but the ostrich used his beak to pull them back.  We pulled them up again, and again he pulled them back.  Brittany was really worried now, so I told her to calm down, and just to tuck the blanket under the length of her body, so that he would not be able to pull them up again.  So we got busy tucking the blankets all the way down our sides.  The ostrich tried to pull the blankets back, but was unable to, so instead he just started poking us through the blankets with his beak.  Dana slept through all of this.  And then I woke up.

Interpretation:

If you are waking up in a different and/or unknown bed, then it represents the consequences of the decisions you have made.

To dream that you are going to bed with someone you are not sexual with represents some sort of partnership or some aspect of yourself that you need to acknowledge and come to terms with.

To see your coworkers in your dream, highlights aspects of your waking relationship with them, including difficulties/support. It signifies your ambition, struggles and competitive nature.

To see an ostrich in your dream suggests that you are not facing reality. You are in denial about something and living in a world of your own. Perhaps, there is a situation that you are unwilling to accept.

To dream that you are being attacked by an animal is a warning to be careful with those around you. Take notice of who you know in your waking like that shares and exhibits the same qualities of the animal that attacked you in your dream.

To dream that you are wrapped in a blanket indicates your fear of the unknown. You may feel some sort of threat/chaos or sense some coldness from those around you.

To dream that you are being poked represents something that needs your attention. Perhaps the dream is giving you a poke or a nudge to move forward. Thus, the dream may be a pun on being "pokey" or slow. You need to stop sitting around and start accomplishing your goals.

To see a beak of a bird in your dream suggests that you or someone is meddling in a situation you or they have no business in. It is symbolic of an annoyance or interference. 

So this dream seems to be suggesting that I need to be cautious of someone around me and that I'm fearful of something or someone.  [Later:] After going through this dream with Brittany, we have concluded that it is a co-worker since we were both attacked, and don't share any other friends.  We decided that the only person who annoys me, tries to interject herself into conversations and situations, and who gives off a feeling of "coldness" is our co-worker Sara.  So apparently I need to be cautious of her.

In the second dream, I just remember that there was a puppy that someone brought to me that needed to be saved.  After that, another dog came in.  I think there might have been about three dogs total that needed rescuing, but I don't recall what happened after that, if anything.

Interpretation:

To see a puppy in your dream symbolizes your playfulness and carefree nature. It also refers to a blossoming friendship.

To see a dog in your dream symbolizes intuition, loyalty, generosity, protection, and fidelity. The dream suggests that your strong values and good intentions will enable you to go forward in the world and bring you success. The dream dog may also represent someone in your life who exhibits these qualities.  

In the third dream, I remember that I was having sex with a lot of people, or rather foreplay, but nothing actually came of it.

Interpretation:

To dream about foreplay indicates your unfulfilled desires and wishes. 

In the last dream, I remember walking along a sidewalk when a man on a little kids big wheel kidnapped me - basically by telling me I had to come with him.  My phone vibrated at that point and I knew it was Jamie, checking on me to see if I was okay.  I asked the kidnapper if I could answer my phone, and that if I couldn't my husband would know something was wrong.  He allowed me to do so.  I answered the phone and Jamie asked if I was okay.  I told him I was and said, "I'm going to be late though.  I got held up at work, so can you please give Earl his medicine?  I won't be there in time to give him his medicine."  He got really worried sounding and said, "Okay."  I said okay as well and told him I loved him.  I was relieved that since I had used our code word, he knew I was in trouble and would get the police looking for me.  About a week and a half pass and I'm living with this guy and his girlfriend and a little boy.  I get the impression that they have told me before that I could leave whenever i wanted, so I tell them I want to leave and they say okay, but when I try to leave and take the kid with me, they won't let me.  I stay for a little while longer and then I finally do leave, figuring that if I could get the police to find the little boy, I'd be doing him more good by leaving than staying.  I leave the house and go home and find Jamie watching TV.  When I ask why he didn't call the police, he said that he heard me ask him to give Earl his medicine, but since we don't have a pet named Earl, he figured I just meant Grimmy.

Interpretation:

To dream that you are walking on a sidewalk represents your steady progress and direction in life. You may be experiencing new walks of life. 

To dream that you are being kidnapped denotes feelings of being trapped and restricted. Someone or some situation may be diverting your concentration and your attention away from your goals.

In this dream, mom and I were on a cruise.  I remember it was just the two of us and we got stuck in a really bad storm.  The boat was rocking really bad and at one point, turned over 90 degrees - onto its side.  I was worried about drowning, but the ship sat back upright.  Everyone was screaming and scared, including us.  Then we were trying to get out of the ocean quickly, so the captain took us full speed into the Baltimore port and we were scared we were giong to crash, but we came safely to a stop and couldn't wait to get off.

Interpretation:

To dream that you are on a cruise represents some emotional journey that you are going through. The dream may also be a pun on "cruising" through situations in your life with ease and little effort.

If you dream of a cruise ship, then it suggests pleasant moods. 

If you are sailing across the ocean, then it signifies new found freedom and independence. You are showing great courage. If the ocean is rough, then the dream represents some emotional turmoil. You are doing your best to handle life's ups and downs.

Since my past couple of dreams have seemed to tell me that I have too much on my plate and need a break, I'm happy to see one that is telling me that perhaps I'm doing okay.   I feel that the best way to look at this dream is that I am trying my best to handle the ups and downs of life.  I am beginning to feel more that this may have to do with my current health concerns and possibly Houdini.  The fact that my mom is in it could mean I am still dealing with her death, or perhaps I just really wanted to be able to take her on a cruise, like she always wanted to go.

I had a dream last night that I was up in the attic (a real attic - not just a storage space) and Animal was there as well.  I don't remember all that was happening, except that there were traps up there holding animals and he tried to get to a squirrel.  He finally got the squirrel, which then turned into a black cat without a tail.  I was very upset at his trying to hurt this squirrel / cat, but seemed to be able to do very little to stop him.

Interpretation:

To see an attic in your dream represents hidden memories or repressed thoughts that are being revealed. It also symbolizes your mind, spirituality, and your connection to the higher Self. Alternatively, it signifies difficulties in your life that may hinder you from attaining your goals and aspirations. However, after a long period of struggle, you will overcome these difficulties. 

To see a cat in your dream symbolizes an independent spirit, feminine sexuality, creativity, and power.

If you see a cat with no tail, then it signifies a loss of independence and lack of freedom.

To see a black cat in your dream indicates that you are experiencing some fear in using your psychic abilities and believing in your intuition. You may erroneously associate the black cat with evil, destruction, and bad luck.

To see a squirrel in your dream indicates that you are involved in a loveless, pointless relationship or an unprofitable business project. You are pursuing empty and fruitless endeavors. Alternatively, seeing a squirrel in your dream suggests that you are hoarding something. You are holding on to too much and need to learn to let go. On the other hand, a squirrel means that you need to reserve your time and energy.

I continue to be surprised by the dreams that tell me I'm struggling, dealing with too much, need to let things go, etc.  Every time I believe it has to do with my job.  But even in my waking life, I don't think I feel that overwhelmed.  I'm beginning to wonder if the dreams are pointing to another situation that I have not acknowledged, and maybe that's why the dreams continue, but I cannot imagine what the other situation is.  Maybe it's Houdini? (Training him has been slow going, he continues to get into fights with Nimmi, he continues to pee, and today he lunged at Shadow.  We were also told at training that we need to deal with his aggressiveness otherwise he will bite someone.)  Fostering?  Feeling like I'm not getting enough help at home?  I continue to remain confused in this aspect.  I hope the attic aspect is true and that I will overcome the difficulties... soon!

(I asked for a co-workers thoughts and got this:  "Maybe you're hoarding repressed thoughts and memories and they are holding you back and keeping you from true freedom.")

Editing to add:  I am going through a health issue right now, with needing to see a hematologist and online research showing possible cancer, leukemia, etc.  In my waking life, I am not really concerned about this and assume it will work itself out and that I am not sick.  But perhaps my subconcious is feeling overwhelmed by this?  Looking back and reading the interpretations, this health conern fits in really well.  Repressed thoughts are coming out to tell me that I'm more concerned than I think.  Loss of independence and freedom - possibly related?  Could be, if I am really sick.  Or maybe I'm fearful that I am sick, which would lead to loss of independence and freedom.  Fear in believing my intution (although I believe I am fine, perhaps I don't believe it as much as I think I do?), bad luck.  And lastly, I need to reserve my energy.  This could go either way with my being sick or not being sick.  We'll have to see how things pan out with the doctor, I guess.

I'm posting this a few days late, so I don't remember much about the dream.  I do remember that Dingo was in a pool and was drowning.  I needed to get to her quickly, (and was a few levels up), so I considered going down the slide, but I was afraid I would lose my glasses in the process and be very little help to her because I wouldn't be able to see.  Instead I decided to run down the stairs.  I don't remember much else after that, including whether or not I was able to save her.

To dream of a dead pet suggests that something that you had thought was left in the past is coming back to haunt you. Similarly to seeing your childhood home, a past pet serves the same function as trying to bring you back into that particular time period. A situation in your waking life may parallel a situation from your past and the dream is providing a means of resolving it.

To see someone drowning in your dream suggests that you are becoming too deeply involved in something that is beyond your control. Alternatively, it represents a sense of loss in your own identity. You are unable to differentiate who you are anymore.

To see a swimming pool in your dream symbolizes relaxation, calmness, luxury and ease. You need to take a break. Alternatively, a swimming pool suggests that you need to acknowledge and understand your feelings. It is time to dive in and deal with those emotions. You need to cleanse yourself and wash away past hurts.

There are a couple of different things that this dream seems to mean - it could simply mean that I'm still not over losing Dingo yet (which is true) and that I need to deal with it so that I can move on.  It also does seem to suggest once again that I am overwhelmed (a recurring pattern in my dreams lately) and that I need to take a break and relax.  Both of these interpretations are probably accurate.

I don't recall much about this dream, but two things stick out to me.  Leah and I were out hiking and found two turtles - the mom and a baby.  We took them home and later that day decided to release them.  While closing the car door, I dropped the baby turtle and stepped on him, breaking him in half.  I felt awful, but Leah reassured me he'd be fine and she just bent him back so that he was straight, and he came back to life.

Later I went home, where me, Jamie, my mom, and my aunt had all moved into a new house.  I remember it being very large with a huge living room and lots of bedrooms.  I was excited about having my own room again - and it was already decorated from the previous owners.  Then my mom decided we were putting down carpeting everywhere and I was so upset.  I just knew Houdini would pee everywhere and it was a bad idea.  I spent the rest of the dream trying to explain that it was our house and we weren't putting down carpeting and then mom called some carpet installers who showed up, while I'm still explaining that we are not having carpet installed. 

Interpretation:

To dream that you are hiking represents progress and achievement. With perseverance and strong-will, you will make it far in life.

To see a turtle in your dream symbolizes wisdom, faithfulness, longevity, and loyalty. It also suggests that you need to take it slow in some situation or relationship in your life. With time and patience, you will make steady progress. Alternatively, a turtle indicates that you are sheltering yourself from the realities of life. You are putting forth a hard exterior and not letting others in. As a result, you are feeling withdrawn.

 To see a new house in your dream indicates that you are entering into a new phase or new area in your life, you are taking on a new identity and developing new strengths. You are becoming more emotionally mature.

 To see your aunt in your dream represents family connection, heritage and value. The aunt may also represent aspects of yourself that you like or dislike. She can also be seen as a substitute mother.

To see your mother in your dream represents the nurturing aspect of your own character. Mothers offer shelter, comfort, life, guidance and protection. Some people may have problems freeing themselves from their mothers and are thus seeking their own individuality and development.

To dream that you are having a conversation with your mother denotes a matter that has preoccupied your mind and you are not sure how to deal with it in your waking life. It indicates unresolved problems that need to be worked out with your mother.

 To see and talk with your dead parents in your dreams represent your fears of losing them or your way of coping with the loss. You are using your dream as a last opportunity to say your final good-byes to them.

To dream that you are installing or laying down carpet suggests that you are trying to make your life more comfortable. The dream may also be analogous to the planning of something. You are laying out some new project or endeavor.

To see the floor in your dream represents your support system and sense of security. You have a firm foundation that you can depend on. The floor in your dream may also symbolize the division between the subconscious and conscious. Alternatively, the dream may be a pun on being "floored" or being completely surprised. Perhaps you have been caught off guard about something.

To notice the floorboards in your dream suggests that you are being protective of the things that are important to you. Alternatively, it indicates that you are guarded about something in your subconscious. 

All in all, I can't really make sense of this dream.  The turtle and hiking seem to represent making progress, but I'm at a loss about the rest of it.  Maybe it's just about being caught off guard (floored / surprised) about losing my mom and dealing with that, and making progress along the way.

I am never going to whatever amusement park I visited last night in my dreams. The employees were rude; I got separated from my group; I had taken Shadow with me, who was petrified because of the rides and the noise; the boardwalk was falling apart, and Shadow and I kept slipping through the holes, eventually I never saw him again; I found a cat that I was going to take home with me and find a home for her, but the employees screamed at me and wouldn't let me; the bus left without me (with my husband and a fried on board, who later, would not respond to my texts); before I knew the bus left without me, I got on the wrong bus; I got stuck in a tiny space between a deck and a building, upside down, and started freaking out, but no one would help me; I was thrown a baby shower (without me being there) and had to lug around all my gifts later when I found them, shoved under a bench (no need to mention here that I have no need for a baby shower or the stupid gifts); both of my shoes were stolen - somehow while I was wearing them; I got screamed at by a client from work because somehow I had given him the wrong cell phone, but I don't even know how I got his cell phone; I also had an amusement part employees cell phone, which fell apart, and the park tried to charge me for it when I left; then all of us who missed the bus got sent home on a plane, which I almost missed; when I got on the plane, I somehow became responsible for carrying some pregnant woman, without legs, around; while I was carrying her around, everything in my purse got stolen (on the plane, in front of tons of people, but no one saw a thing); and when I found out who took it, he gave me my cell phone back, but refused to give me anything else back, and then spit in my face. The best part was going on the one and only ride I had time to take. The second best part was waking up, although I am completely exhausted.

Interpretation:

To see or be in an amusement park in your dream indicates that you need to set some time for more relaxation and enjoyment in your life. Alternatively, the dream indicates that you are too easily distracted lately. 

To dream of a separation suggests that you are experiencing some separation anxiety. You are afraid of feeling unneeded or abandoned.

To dream that you are on a boardwalk symbolizes your life's path. It represents your social circle and lifestyle.

To dream that you fall into a hole represents a pitfall in some waking situation. You feel you are stuck. Perhaps, you have dug yourself into a hole and cannot get out of it.

To see a cat in your dream symbolizes an independent spirit, feminine sexuality, creativity, and power. To dream that you are saving the life of a cat implies that you are reclaiming your independence and power.

To see a dog in your dream symbolizes intuition, loyalty, generosity, protection, and fidelity. The dream suggests that your strong values and good intentions will enable you to go forward in the world and bring you success. Alternatively, to see a dog in your dream indicates a skill that you may have ignored or forgotten.

To dream that you are abandoned suggests that it is time to leave behind past feelings and characteristics that are hindering your growth. Let go of your old attitudes. A more direct and literal interpretation of this dream indicates you have a fear of being deserted, abandoned, or even betrayed. It may stem from a recent loss or a fear of losing a loved one. The fear of abandonment may manifest itself into your dream as part of the healing process and dealing with losing a loved one. It may also stem from unresolved feelings or problems from childhood. Alternatively, the dream indicates that you are feeling neglected or that your feelings are being overlooked.

To dream that you are stuck represents a feeling of helplessness and not being able to escape from life's problems or stresses. You have lost confidence in yourself and in your ability to move ahead in your life. Your lack of clear goals and low self-esteem may be a common cause for such dreams.

To dream that you have claustrophobia suggests feeling of self-guilt. You fear that you will be punished for your past's actions.

To dream that you are upside down suggests that there is some situation or problem in your waking life that you need to straighten up. It may also mean that your initial assumptions were completely opposite of what you thought.

If you get on the wrong bus, then the dream indicates your fears of making the wrong choice and going on the wrong path. You are conflicted between what you want and what others want for you. 

 To dream of a baby shower suggests that you are welcoming a new start. You are given a chance to start over again and do things differently this time around. You have a new found faith in life itself.

If someone gives you an inappropriate gift, then it suggests that you are the subject of unwelcome attention from someone.

To see a pile of gifts symbolizes unutilized or unrecognized skills and talents.

To dream that you are not wearing any shoes indicates that you have low self-esteem and a lack of confidence in yourself. You are dealing with issues about your self-identity.

 If you dream that you lose your shoes, then it suggests that you are searching for your identity and finding yourself.

To dream that you are wearing inappropriate shoes for the occasion or for the activity at hand means that your progress and path in life will be long, hard and laborious. It may also indicate that you are heading in the wrong direction. Perhaps you need to reevaluate your goals.

To see or use a cell phone in your dream indicates that you are being receptive to new information. It also represents your mobility. Alternatively, the dream signifies lack of understanding. Perhaps you are having difficulties getting through to someone.

To dream that you lost your cell phone represents a lack of communication. You have lost touch with some aspect of your feelings or your Self.

To see a client in your dream refers to your position of power. Consider the position that you are in and the significance of the services that you are providing.

To see an airplane in your dream indicates that you will overcome your obstacles and rise to a new level of prominence and status. You may experience a higher consciousness, new-found freedom and greater awareness. Perhaps you need to gain a better perspective or wider view on something.

To dream that you miss your connection flight indicates that you are feeling helpless and trapped by some situation. You feel that you are being held back, either physically or mentally. Alternatively, the dream may also suggest that you are feeling disconnected in some aspect of your life - work, relationship or home life.

To dream that someone else is pregnant indicates that you are experiencing a closer connection to this person.

To dream that someone is stealing something from you indicates that you are experiencing an identity crisis or are suffering from some sort of loss in your life. 

Spitting represents anger, spite and contempt.

To dream that you are riding a roller coaster represents life's frequent ups and downs in your waking life. You are experiencing erratic behavior brought on by yourself or a situation. 

This dream comes the night after I had a dream that I quit my job and started working for a vet.  And both of these dreams come after a hellish, long, overwhelming week at work. I think at the end of the day, this dream is telling me that I am feeling overwhelmed, stuck, hopeless, and helpless at work.  This is true, but I will keep trying.

I had this dream on Saturday, April 24th.  I have been really worried lately with the kids across the street and wondering what they would get into or vandalize next.  My dream portrayed my wanting them out of the neighborhood.

I was asleep and woke up in the middle of the night.  I looked out the window and realized their house was on fire.  They already knew though and were getting out of the house already.  They were all standing around on the porch screaming and yelling - no different than normal though.  The fire department showed up and decided that the fire had started when someone fell asleep watching TV with a cigarette in their hand.  They controlled the fire quickly and the house was still liveable, so everyone was back in the house within minutes.  Blech.

Interpretation:

Depending on the context of your dream, to see fire in your dream can symbolize destruction, passion, desire, illumination, transformation, enlightenment, or anger. It may suggest that something old is passing and something new is entering into your life. Your thoughts and views are changing. In particular, if the fire is under control or contained in one area, then it is a metaphor of your own internal fire and inner transformation. It also represents your drive, motivation, and creative energy.

To dream that a house is on fire, indicates that you need to undergo some transformation.

To dream that you or someone is yelling, represents repressed anger that need to be expressed.

To hear or dream that someone is screaming, indicates that some friend or family member is in need of your help.

To dream of a porch, represents your personality, your social self, your facade and how you portray yourself to others.

None of this makes a lot of sense, so I'm going to guess that the dream simply means I wish our neighbors would move away.

It seems waiting and waiting to hear back on Leslie house is starting to affect me.  My dream for the past two nights have been about the house.

This night we got the house and were walking through right before settlement.  On the first floor there was a long hallway that I don't remember being there before, so we walked down it and there were four additional bedrooms down there - almost like an addition to the house.  I told Jamie there was much more room than I remembered.  I was worried, wondering where we were going to store all our stuff, but all the extra rooms put me at ease - we had plenty of room!

We then went in the basement and again there was a long hallway I didn't remember.  We walked down that hallway and ended up in a small restaurant, which was underground.  I was immediately panic stricken, wondering if we now owned the restaurant and if we did, I did not want continue owning it, but closing it down would mean all those people who would lose their jobs.  I didn't know what to do, but I was certain I didn't want to own a restaurant, and certainly not one out of our house.  We continued walking until I realized we were in a small underground town.  There were shops, restaurants, streets, patio tables.  That's when I realized that the restaurant wasn't part of our house at all - it was part of this town, and I was so relieved.  We walked back to our house and went into the basement and then I woke up.

 I went back to sleep later and dreamt that I needed to shower and went into Leslie House's bathroom and it was pink!  Lots of pink - which was strange because I didn't remember it being pink.  There was also a line for the shower and by the time it was my turn, I didn't have a towel.  I didn't know that you had to go to a goodwill type location to choose a towel before showering.  I got my towel, but woke up before I got to shower.

 Interpretation:

To see a house in your dream, represents your own soul and self. Specific rooms in the house indicate a specific aspect of your psyche, the basement represents the unconscious.  If the house is empty, then it indicates feelings of insecurity.

To see a new house in your dream, indicates that you are taking on a new identify and developing new strengths. You are trying to be more emotionally mature about things.

To see a hallway in your dream, symbolizes self exploration and the beginning of a path that you are taking in life. You are going through a transitional phase in your life and journeying into the unknown. It signals spiritual enlightenment, emotional growth physical prowess, new opportunities and mental passages in your life.

To dream that you are in the bedroom, signifies aspects of your self that you keep private.

To dream that you are in a restaurant, suggests that you are feeling overwhelmed by decisions/choices that you need to make in your life. Alternatively, it indicates that you are seeking for emotional nourishment outside of your social support system.

To dream that you are walking on a sidewalk, represents your steady progress and direction in life. You may be moving on to new walks of life.

To dream that you are in downtown, represents your material concerns and possessions. It may indicate the hustle and bustle of your life.

To dream that you are in the bathroom, relates to your instinctual urges. You may be experiencing some burdens/feelings and need to "relieve yourself". Alternatively, it may symbolize purification and self-renewal. You need to cleanse yourself, both emotionally and psychologically.

Pink represents love, joy, sweetness, happiness, affection, kindness. Being in love or healing through love is also implied with this color.

To see or use a towel in your dream, suggests that you need to deal with your emotions in order to move forward in your life. You need to find some sort of a resolution. Alternatively, it represents completion, a fresh start and new transition.

I think this is pretty clearly telling me that I'm feeling overwhelmed with waiting for the house, packing, moving, selling our house, and the whole aspect is the new direction I'm taking in life.  I didn't necessarily need a dream to tell me this, but it was fun nonetheless.  At least in my dreams, I'm living in our dream house!  If only the bank would give us an answer and make it happen.

There was some big party going on inside my house so I couldn't get out the front door.  I think Hillary Clinton was there, and I think we might have been having a presidential campaign.  Since I couldn't go anywhere, I decided to let the dogs out.  After they were done peeing, I was trying to round them up along with the cats that were outside.  It was fairly dark and the dogs weren't coming.  I could see then that they were following something in the yard.  It looked like a small Shiba Inu, until it came closer and came into focus and then I saw it was a raccoon.  I tried to scare it away, but it wasn't scared of me.  In a hurry, I continued to try to get the dogs and cats inside.  I got everyone in, but Dingo wouln't come, so I went back for her.  As I was waiting for her, the raccoon kept getting closer and eventually attacked me.  He jumped at me and clamped down on my wrist, on the bottom part where it's the most sensitive.  I started screaming, but because of the party going on inside the house, no one could hear me.  I tried beating him against the railing of the deck, but he remained unphased and kept a constant grip on my wrist.  It hurt terribly and I was afraid he was doing permanent damage to my veins.  I went up to the back door hoping someone was in the kitchen and could help me.  Mom was there and I started banging on the door for her help.  She saw me and told me she'd be right back, she had to take something to someone.  I wasn't sure I could endure the pain anymore and didn't want her to leave, so I started scratching the door frantically trying to get her attention again.  She eventually turned around and saw the raccoon.  She started screaming and came outside and hit him with a bat (although I never saw the bat) until he let go, unconscious.  I rounded up Dingo and got in the house.  I was wondering if I should go to the hospital to be checked for rabies, so my mom went in the living room to ask my grandmother, who appeared to be suffering from dementia or alzheimers.  My wrist didn't feel right, and I was wondering if the circulation has been cut off for too long.  I went in the basement to do something, but don't remember what it was.

It's been awhile since I've had a dream where I had to watch my dad die again.  Last night I had to endure it twice.  It was the same dream and in the first part his heart didn't give out, but some other part did, which caused his death, but he still continued to live until his heart gave out, and then he finally died again.  The first death was devastating, of course, but the second death he sensed was coming, and was smiling when he died.  Leah was there too, and there was a feeling that the first death was her dad.

As usual, I think this is no more than just a dream of missing my father, I just wish I wasn't still experiencing his death.

Interpretation:

To see your father in your dream, symbolizes authority and protection. It suggests that you need to be more self-reliant.

If you dream of a person who has died a long time ago, then it suggests that a current situation or relationship in you life resembles the quality of that deceased person. The dream may depict how you need to let this situation or relationship die and end it.

To see your dead sibling, relative, or friend alive in your dream, indicates that you miss them and are trying to relive your old experiences you had with them. In trying to keep up with the pace of your daily waking life, you dreams may serve as your only outlet in coping and coming to terms with the loss of a loved one.

To see someone dying in your dream, signifies that your feelings for that person are dead or that a significant change/loss is occurring in your relationship with that person. Alternatively, you may want to repress that aspect of yourself that is represented by the dying person.

This is the first time for a dream like this.  I dreamt that Jamie and I had a son that I just absolutely loved.  He was crying and instead of screaming at him, I picked him up and held him until he stopped.  He was very tired , so I made him a bed in the back of the Vibe as we were getting ready to go on a trip.  He had lots and lots of blankets, a pillow, and a stuffed toy to hold.

 Interpretation:

To see children in your dream, signifies your own childlike qualities or a retreat back to a childlike state. It is an extension of your inner child during a time of innocence, purity, simplicity, and a carefree attitude. You may be longing for the past and the chance to satisfy repressed desires and unfulfilled hopes. Take some time off and cater to the inner child within. Perhaps there is something that you need to see grow and nurtured. 

To dream that you are hugging someone, symbolizes your loving and caring nature. You are holding someone or something close to your heart. Alternatively, it may indicate your need to be more affectionate.

To dream that you are covering or wrapping someone in a blanket, suggests you desire to care for that person.

In this dream, Jamie and I were driving somewhere and we had to go through a tunnel.  Traffic was so bad that we got out of the Vibe and decided to walk, but then my side of the tunnel got smaller and I no longer fit.  I ended up crawling and the space was still too small and I eventually got stuck and ended up freaking out.  Jamie had to rescue me.  We continued walking and there were spiders all over the tunnel.  This dream was much, much longer, but as I'm writing this late, I don't remember much else.

Interpretation:

To dream that you are going through a tunnel, suggests that you are exploring aspects of your unconscious. You are opening yourself to a brand new awareness. Alternatively, it indicates your limited perspective. 

 To dream that you are stuck, represents  helplessness and feeling of being unable to escape from life's problems/stress. You have lost confidence in yourself and in your ability to move ahead in your life. Your lack of clear goals and low self-esteem may be a common cause for such dreams.

To see a spider in your dream, indicates that you are feeling like an outsider in some situation. Or that you may want to keep your distance and  stay away from an alluring and tempting situation.  The spider is also symbolic of feminine power. Alternatively, a spider may refer to a powerful force protecting you against  your self-destructive behavior.

To dream that someone else is driving you, represents your dependence on the driver. You are not in control of your life and following the goals of others instead of your own.

I had a dream that I had to pee really badly.  I peed and peed and peed so much that the toilet nearly overflowed.

To see urine in your dream, signifies feelings you have rejected.

To dream that you are urinating, symbolizes a cleansing and release of negative or repressed emotions. Urination is symbolic of having or lacking basic control in your life.

I was out somewhere (maybe at work) when I realized that it was Christmas Eve and we would be leaving on our trip the next day.  I hadn't packed anything yet and was obviously running out of time.  I went home to start packing and when I arrived home, I realized that it was only November 20th and I still had time.

Interpretation:

To dream of Christmas, symbolizes family togetherness,  reunions, celebration, peace, goodwill, generosity, and human kindness. It is also representative of new beginnings and fresh starts. Consider also your own associations with this holiday. 

To dream that you are going on a trip, suggests that you are in need of a change of scenery.  You are feeling overworked and need to take time out for yourself for some fun and relaxation.

I was getting ready for my high school reunion and when I looked in the mirror I saw that my entire forehead was covered in pimples right by my hair line.

 Interpretation:

 To see your own reflection in the mirror, suggests that you are pondering thoughts about your inner self. The reflection in the mirror is how you perceive yourself or how you want others to see you. You may be contemplating on strengthening and changing  aspects of your character. 

To see a fine and smooth forehead in your dream, signifies your good judgment and fairness. It is also indicative of your intellectual capacities.

 To dream that you have pimples, relates to issues about your self-esteem and self-image. You are feeling awkward or out of place in some situation or relationship.

Mood:  blue

In my dream this morning, I had come home from work and found Hazel sick on the bed.  She was scarily thin and I wanted her to eat.  I knew she was dying and urged Jamie to help me get her to eat.  He told me to just let her go.  I went downstairs to make her dinner, but it was too late and she had already died.  :(

Interpretation:

To see a cat in your dream, signifies much misfortune, treachery, and bad luck. However, for the cat lover, cats signifies an independent spirit, feminine sexuality, creativity, and power.

To see your or someone else's pet in your dream, represents civilized instincts. You are keeping your temper in line. Alternatively, it indicates a need for love and acceptance. You are lacking attention from others and are feeling neglected. The pet may also be a pun for "petting" as in some sexual behavior.

I don't remember much about this dream other than I was at work and Shawn was wearing a dress.  It was blue with white flowers and a crisp twill fabric.  I thought it was odd since she never wears dresses or even dresses femininely at all.

Interpretation:

To see your coworkers in your dream, highlights aspects of your waking relationship with them, including difficulties/support. It signifies your ambition, struggles and competitive nature.

To see or wear a dress in your dream, represents a feminine outlook or feminine perspective on a situation. You are freely expressing your femininity.

Blue represents truth, wisdom, heaven, eternity, devotion, tranquility, loyalty and openness. The presence of this color in your dream, may symbolize your spiritual guide and your optimism of the future. You have clarity of mind.

White represents purity, perfection, peace, innocence, dignity, cleanliness, awareness, and new beginnings. You may be experiencing a reawakening or have a fresh outlook on life.

In this dream friends of ours were getting married (though I don't know who they were).  Jamie disappeared during most of the dream, but I showed up way over dressed, in the dress I wore to the gala at work.  When I arrived I realized I was overdressed and headed back to my room to change.  We lived in a hotel, which is also where the wedding was being held, but each room was like an apartment.  I got back to my closet and was rummaging through clothes.  I kept thinking I had a brown dress I could wear to a wedding, but didn't remember what it looked like or where it was.  I think I finally ended up just staying in my blue fancy dress.  I arrived back at the wedding, and saw Jamie who was wearing jeans and a T-shirt.  I sent him back to the room to change into something more appropriate and never saw him again.

Interpretation:

To see a wedding in your dream, symbolizes a new beginning or transition in your current life.  Dreams involving weddings are often negative and highlight some anxiety or fear. It often refers to feelings of bitterness, sorrow, or death.  Alternatively, wedding dreams reflect your issues about commitment and independence.

To see or wear a dress in your dream, represents a feminine outlook or feminine perspective on a situation. You are freely expressing your femininity.

To dream that you are having trouble getting dressed, signifies that some evil person will preoccupy your mind to the point where you are not able to enjoy your daily life and its pleasure.

To see a hotel in your dream, signifies a new state of mind or a shift in personal identity. You are undergoing some sort of transition and need to move away from your old habits and old way of thinking. Or you feel the need to temporarily escape from your daily life. Alternatively, the dream may imply a loss in your personal identity.

To dream about an apartment, symbolizes a financial or situational state. 

To see a closet in your dream, symbolizes something in your life that you have kept hidden. It may also signify an unveiling of previously hidden aspects of yourself, as in "coming out of the closet".
