Normally most of us consider dreams unimportant due to its bizarre nature of theme. We think what’s with the faceless stranger at night, or the half dog, half cat with yellow and green tail animal, or a sleek car turns into a leaving room in the middle of a sea, or walking naked on street and taking shower at train station.

Symbols are “words” used by dream language and learning them is almost like learning a foreign language. Each one represents an idea, a memory, a mood, or an insight arising from unconscious. However, unlike the foreign language, dream symbols can change their meaning from one person’s unique life history and their contemporary experience to another person.

Here are some universal symbolic meanings:

Water- is the symbol of the unconscious, the depth of imagination, the source of creativity.

Sea – facing the sea indicated the dreamer is ready to face the unconscious.

River  – is a metaphors for passing of time.

Fire – fire destroys, but it also cleans and purifies.
