Garden
Dreaming of a garden can represent the things that are growing inside of you, new emotions, traits and so on. Try to look at whats happening within the garden and apply this to growth. The garden is also spiritually linked to the Garden Of Eden, a place of utter paridise and relaxation but also has aspects of temptation and the downfalls of the feminine.
Gossip
To be gossipping in a dream can show that we spread information but in an innapropiate way. If we are listening to someone else gossip then we find it hard to find the information we need for ourselves. It also can suggest we are stuck focusing on a problem and need to overcome it rather than gossipping and continuing the problem.
Gate
The gate in our dreams represents the transition from one thing in your life to another. Depending on the type of the gate you can tell different things. For example a farm gate suggests towards your work life and a house gate your social, pleasure aspect of your life.
Gun
The gun in dreams has masculine and aggressive connotations. If a woman is using a gun it shows she is aware of the more masculine side of her personality. If she is being shot at she may be aware of an aggressive source in her life that if either pysically imposing or sexually orrientated.
Hill
To be on top of a hill in your dream suggests you have achieved something and you can look at things from an all seeing angle. To be climbing with company means you probably have a common goal to achieve in life, possibly at work or in other areas.
Holiday
Holiday literally translates from Holy-Day and we should set some time a part for ourselves to relax and take time off from our sometimes stressful lifes. Make sure to look at seperate aspects such as Beach and so on seperately. Consider the holiday as an expression of independence and the need for freedom also.
Historic
Historic settings occur in dreams as a way of looking back at ourselves at a previous point in our dreams. It can help us to understand where we have been and were to where we are now and what we have become. It could be that you need to look back to find your way to go forward.
House/Home
To dream of being at home represents our need for the common qualities we find in our own homes such as relaxation, independence, space and so on. Look what your dream means to you. If it is a more unfamiliar house this can sometimes represent our soul. Take a look at the different rooms in the house as these represent different parts of your personality such as the bathroom for privacy, bedroom for saftey and cellar subconscious and so on.
Insects
Depending on the type of insect that appears in our dream it can relate to different things. It usually represents how we are feeling or the emotions we are holding. It shows that something is literally 'bugging' us (sorry lol) and insects usually represent parts of our lifes we'd rather just do without.
Illness
As human beings we all have hurtful past memories or tragic events that remain with us for a long time. These can re-invent themselves as illness in our dreams. It can also represent a singular part of our personality that is appearing as an illness in our dream and needs to be looked at.
Intruder
An intruder quite literally is a reaction to our own personal space and wanting to protect ourselves. We may be worried about people coming into our lifes such as commitment and friendships becoming too close. In dreams the intruder can also represent threats to ones sexuality.
Invisible
Being invisible in a dream can show that we are not ready to accept something in life or simply want to forget it. We can become invisible to escape from the things that hurt us.
Jumping
Jumping in dreams can be interpreted in a number of ways. If you are jumping over an obstacle the image is quite clearly that of sucess however if we are jumping into something then we may be delving into our subsconscious. Try to locate the reason for the jump and it should provide you with the answer to as the positive or the negative of the leap.
Jar
The jar or container in dreams often represents the femine aspects of the dreamer and how we can recognise these in our lifes, nurturing, mothering etc It also can have connotations of Pandora's Box containing temptations and all things bad.
Journey
A journey in a dream is often symbollic of our quests to achieve things in our waking lifes and can be compared accordingly. For example if you are on a journey in your dream look for obstacles such as a deep forest or mountains that could represent problems. Try to be aware of your destination and take note of where the journey ends, if it ends at all that is. It may not end and suggest you still have a way to go before you have achieved what it is you have set out for. If you do finish and say end up home and relaxrd at the end of your journey then you have successfully completed your task and can speculate to which part of your current life it represents. Traffic accidents or road offences in a journey can represent that our conduct needs to be looked at to make it more acceptable. If we are driving it can show our basic needs for control and comfort. Types of transport used for the journey need to be taken into account to look at the ease or hardship of this particular problem. For example walking means we have to do whatever it is on our own and without any help. A plane would suggest a swift and easy journey or sexual conquest. Boats are dependent on the type of boat you are in. The smaller the boat the less help you will need for your journey towards your goal but a large boat may suggest a common goal or new beginning as part of a group such as a workforce or venture between friends. A car in our dreams reflects on our own bodies, anything wrong with the car suggests a problem with our own health that needs to be looked at. Lorrys relate to ourselves at work and any problems it may have. Trains can highlight our ideas about social relationships and will clarify ones attitude towards themselves.
Key
Keys appearing in dreams can represent the ability to unlock new parts of our personalities or attitudes that we have but do not fully recognise it yet. A key can often appear to us at times in our lifes when we feel 'trapped' in some way whether we recognise it or not.
Knife
A knife appearing in dreams can signify some sort of division within the dream that we need to acknowledge. If we are being attacked by a knife it is showing us that we too must understand our aggressive side.
Kiss
Kissing someone in a dream is not always have sexual connotations and usually represents an acceptance of a new relationship with that person be it sexually or just on a friendship or proffessional level. Being kissed indicates that we our loved for who we are.
Knight
The black knight signifies the evil and the white knight the good. For a woman a knight represents her Animus and in a mans dream he is looking for the hero inside of him. It could be that the knight could appear to us as a guiding ally an highlights our finer qualities depending on the situation.
Lake
A lake represents our world of fantasy and our unconscious. The state of the water represents the clarity of our subconscious. If it is clear our mind is at peace, if it is cloudy then we are troubled.
Light
Light shows us the way to go or in dreams can be an illustration of the phrase "There is light at the end of the tunnel". Any spiritual aspects that appear in dreams will often have a bright aura and signifies purity and innocence.
Landscapes
The landscapes we have in our dreams mirror our moods and feelings. They tend to be moulded to fit the dreams message and create a way to fully get that message across to you. For this reason we sometimes see bizzare landscapes. Examples are rocky landscapes to show problems, baron deserts to show lack of creativity or a dead friendship. Explore your content and take notice of the surroundings.
Lost
To be lost in a dream usually reflects to being confused or lost within the characteristics or events of that particular dream. To have lost something important to us or a possession shows us that we have forgotten something that could be important. Spritually being lost can signify losing your way within religion or your faith in the world and the things you believe in.
