We’re always told that dreams have meaning. Now, I’m not a person that remembers every single dream they have but when I do, I always wonder the deeper significance to them.

Dreams fascinate me because they’re able to reflect what your deepest subconscious wants to reveal to you. It’s your mind writing you a personal letter, a feeling or thought that has been hidden and is attempting to make its way out.

That’s why I think dream interpretations are so fascinating, they can reveal so much and can get you even more in touch with yourself.

So, I thought that I could write about some common dream symbols and their interpretations.

In a very intense google search, here are some I found!

• Food: It has been said that if you dream about food, it represents knowledge and nourishment of the soul. (But also just FYI: a pineapple could just be a pineapple- not a pineapple that also represents the meaning of life.)
• Have you ever had a dream where you’re chasing after your flight, only to miss it? That could symbolize missed opportunities you’ve had in life and those that you feel the need to chase after.
• I’ve sometimes had the dream where I’m laid out on the beach, the ocean calmly around me and I’m just enjoying the day. Water is a big symbol in dreams; usually, when it’s calm (as represented in my dream) it means inner peace. If you’re around rough water, it means you’re feeling uneasy with something in your life.
• Flying in a dream usually means we either have great or no control over our lives. It all depends on how you’re flying: are you superman or are you trying to fight for your life?
• Have you ever dreamt about money? That represents the worth you give yourself. A sort of self-worth represented in dollars.

Anyways, there are a hundred different symbols in dreams but these are the most common ones found! It’s crazy to think how far our brain can go and what everything can reveal itself to mean.

So next time you wake up and remember last night’s dream: look up what it could mean!
