10 dream symbols you should never ignore

“Dreams always seek to express something the ego is not aware of or does not understand.” – Carl Young.

Carl Jung was a 19th-century psychotherapist. He conducted a series of studies and concluded that research into dreams opens a door to consciousness and the world of spirits.

Dreams are a reflection of the human subconscious. Reading in dreams allows us to decipher a person’s pent-up thoughts and emotions. The emotions and feelings that prevail in a person’s subconscious are manifested as recurring symbols in their dreams.

Here are 10 common dream symbols that you should never ignore:

1. Flying
   If you see yourself flying in your dream, then you have to reach for ambition. Dreams of flying indicate excessive freedom and desire to achieve and accomplish everything in your path.
2. The falls
   The water symbol is usually associated with purity and calmness. Dreaming of water is considered very pious. It signifies that the water is washing away the old path and paving the way for something new and wonderful.
3. Teeth
   Some dreams about teeth indicate old age. But others are related to stress and anxiety. A dream about tooth extraction indicates the need to get out.
4. Death
   Dreaming of death usually symbolizes the end of something. But in some cases, dreams about death can also mean that a loved one is trying to communicate with you.
5. Pregnancy
   Dreaming of being pregnant means that some great growth is coming your way. It is a symbol of fruitful development and desires.

6. Houses
   Dreams of houses symbolize the self and its various aspects. A dream about an attic indicates hidden memories, while a dream about a basement indicates intuition.
7. Money
   Dreams related to money are associated with the prosperity of the individual.

If you see yourself earning a large amount of money, then you are about to change your lifestyle. If you dream of losing money, then this symbolizes your fear of losing money.

Financial instability is one of the main causes of stress in a person’s life. Money drives the flow of life.

8. Adultery
   A dream of adultery represents repressed sexual impulses that need expression. It can also result from low self-esteem or an unstable relationship.

Insecurity in any relationship can lead to such dreams.

9. Fire
   Fire dreams have many meanings depending on their context. Seeing fire from afar indicates possibilities and a desire for transformation. But if you see yourself playing with fire, this is a warning that dangerous situations are forming. If you dream of setting the fire, this symbolizes your pent-up anger.
10. Striptease
    Naked dreams are very common. It’s the fear of exposure. If one sees another person naked in a dream, this often means losing his respect. Such dreams indicate the exposure of the “naked truth”. They also indicate the need to accept flaws and imperfections.

If you often dream of being naked, you are probably afraid to show your true self to the world.

Dreams are our mind’s interpretation of what we see and feel when we are awake.
