Dream meanings have fascinated people for centuries. When we dream, what do we do with that dream when we wake up? Do you tell anyone about the dream or keep it to yourself? Or are you one to ignore it, and keep moving? There is a reason why we dream. A dream can be a sign of something to appear in the very near future. A dream can also be a sign of things to come, many years down the road. Do you hope that what you dreamed about comes true? In that case, you may want to prepare yourself, and get ready for that day to come. You may have that dream that consciously you want to come true, but it has not come true yet. Conversely, there are those dreams where we truly hope that they don’t come true. In that case, you may want to do whatever you can to prevent that from happening. Alternatively, you may have that dream where you don’t know what it meant or whether you want it to come true or not. In that situation, you may want to try to remember as much details from that dream as possible, in case you have it again, and you need to link the two. All things considered, some dreams do come true. In those cases, was it because the thing you dreamed about, was surely meant for you? Sometimes the thing you dreamed about, subconsciously, you want it to come true. If the subject of your dream was a person, this could mean that person in your dream is thinking of and looking out for you, as well. Holistically, there is a specific reason as to why you have a dream. Therefore, to the best of your ability, take away a piece of that dream, as it may reveal itself to you in some manner, in your travels. The gem from having that dream may be, when a part of that dreams reveals itself or comes true, it may give you the answer for even having that dream at all. In this theme, different interpretations of dreams will be explored.

Dreams play out as motion pictures of our imagination. There are dreams that seem so real that you may feel as though you’re going to stay in the dream. When there are times you dream of an animal chasing you, that animal can represent something, someone or some matter in your waking life that you are running away from, but you may want to address it. Conversely, a dream of that nature may be indicative of something, or someone that do not want to address, and also do not want to avoid, but you just do not know how approach yet. These type of dreams can go many different way, it just depends on how you wish for it to play out. If you’ve been thinking about addressing something in which it has become an issue in your life, you may want to seriously address the situation to put the issue to bed. On the other hand, if you’ve been hoping that you do not have to come across something, that is an issue in your life, you may want to let that sleeping dog lie, and forget about that issue, if and when the chance to face it presents itself. Sometimes this may be the point of a dream, which is to give you an image or display of the issue playing out in the form of a dream, so that you can stay clear of the drama or tension, before it actually happens. Realistically, that type of a dream is your warning sign or keep away posting, to halt you so that you will not push the issue too hard or at all in real life.


In dreams of our deceased loved ones, they are always younger in age and they do not utter a word. The reason they are younger is simply because in the next life, it is a place where we do not grow old. For those who were of poor health or suffered before they transitioned, when they appear in our dreams, the are a glow of health and happy. The reason for this is because when they pass away, so does the perils and pains of this world. The reason as to why the dearly departed do not talk in a dream is simply because they’re merely a spirit now, and the physical body and parts that permit us talk are no more. When you see your dearly departed in a dream, they still move and motion as they did when they where alive. Figuratively, their motion and gestures to us are their communication to us, but it is up to us to decipher their messages. On the whole, a dream of a deceased loved is their way of trying to let you know everything is alright with them now, and that they are looking out for you.
When we dream of an old friend or someone we used to know, this can be very confusing. You may not have spoken to or seen them in many years, but all of a sudden here they are, meeting and talking to you once again, in a dream. This could indicate that they are wondering where you are and hoping to see you. On the alternative, this could signal that subconsciously you would be glad to see them, but the idea of seeing them again just had not surfaced in your mind yet. Additionally, a dream of this nature could be telling you that if and when you do see this person again, they may not be the same, and may be a different person. They may have simply changed. Moreover, the next time you do see them, that interaction may be different from how it was the last time you connected with them, and it may be better the second time around. Literally speaking, there also might be something that this person wants to tell you, but they have yet to see you again, or had the chance to tell you. A key to remember here is, there may be some unfinished business between you and that person, so keep your eyes open and be on the lookout for them in your waking life.


When you dig down in it, dreams are a complex bag of wishes, fears, pursuits and signs of things to come. As our dreams play out, they present as fantasies, motives, and sometimes realities, pre-manifested. In the instance where there is a certain message or a certain word that stands out to you in a dream, this is a sign that this word or message will appear to you in some format in the future. When you dream of a number, or a set of numbers, this can sometimes be pretty straightforward. This number or numbers may pay off for you, and bring you fortune down the road. I am not endorsing gambling of any kind, but this may be a number you want to bet on. In the occasion where you dream of someone that you secretly admire, this could be a forewarning that this someone will appear to you, and that interaction will come to fruition in real life. No matter how you make them out to be, dreams are an insight into our consciousness, and subconsciousness. In a simpler perspective, a dream can give you a green light to something you’re considering, or a red flag to an already questionable subject matter of yours. One little dream can be your saving grace, or your peace of mind on something in your life that you are concerned about or trying to conquer. A dream of something, some place or someone, could grant you the window to what you are trying to accomplish. Sometimes a dream can actually be the answer to the test going on in your life at the moment. Yet remember this, a dream can sometimes have more than one meaning and purpose. Ultimately, it is you that decides what it really means. Conversely, some dreams may not mean nothing at all. Still, I would argue most dreams are intended to be broken down and assessed. And sometimes there is a message in the dream that you cannot forget. If you ever dream of something and you hope that your dream comes true, if it ever does, you’ll know that whatever happened in that dream, was truly meant for you.
