Dreams And Their Meanings

Since sex is so prevalent in our society, not to mention necessary for our survival as a species, it is no wonder that we dream of having sex. As with any dream symbol, what sex means to you in your dream will depend on your feelings about sex and your experience as a sexual being. Sex Dream           In many cases, dreaming of sex isn’t really about sex. From a psychological perspective, dreams about having sex may symbolize the merging of contrasting aspects of yourself or a need to incorporate aspects of your dream sex partner into yourself. Consider your dream partner and what it is that you admire or love about them for an idea of what you are trying to merge into yourself. In some instances it may be a safe way to release pent up or repressed sexual desire; you may be exploring your own needs and desires; or it may be compensating for a lack of having a physical relationship in waking lif...

"My Boyfriend Cheated On Me!"       Being cheated on in a dream can often feel so real that you actually go and accuse your spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend or significant other of it. Such dreams are unsettling and disturbing. It often leaves you questioning your relationship. Often dreams about infidelity are rarely about cheating, but rather more about your own feelings of insecurity. So what is this dream exactly about? Being cheated on points to neglect: A lack of attention from your mate may trigger a dream where your mate is having an affair. Since they are not paying attention to you, then you start to think that their attention is focused on someone else. Perhaps your significant other is working longer hours or traveling more or spending more time at the gym. All is innocent, but your dreaming mind manifests time spent away from you as an affair. Being cheated on points to fear of abandonment: To dream that your mate, spouse, or significant oth...

Nudity indicates vulnerability: When you are without your clothes, you are also most vulnerable. There is absolutely nothing that you can hide behind. Thus the dream may parallel a waking situation where you feel helpless or where you have completely let your guard down. Perhaps you are in a relationship where you have opened yourself up at the risk of getting rejected. Nudity indicates fear of exposure: Becoming mortified at the realization that you are naked in a public place may reflect your fear of being exposed and feelings of shame. You may be hiding something and are afraid that others can see right through you. Hence, you dream of yourself naked! Metaphorically, clothes are a means of concealment. And depending on the type of clothes you wear, you can hide your identity or be someone else. But without your clothes, everything is hanging out for all to see. You are exposed and stripped of your defenses. Thus your naked dream may be telling you that you are trying to be someone w...

It’s not that we women don’t dream about sex. It’s just that we dream about being chased more (83 percent for women versus 78 percent for men). According to researchers at the University of Montreal , who have been collecting data over the last 11 years, women (73 percent) confessed to having sex dreams occasionally. That's compared to 85 percent for men. Dreams of falling came in third for both sexes. The similarities between the sexes end there. The  Toronto Sun  reported that women suffer from more nightmares, and are more likely to dream about someone dying, being paralyzed by fear, failing an exam, and my personal nighttime hell: snakes, spiders, and insects. Men, apparently, believe they’re superheros. “Men are more likely to dream they fly or float in the air, they have magical powers or higher mental faculties, they kill someone, or they travel to other planets and meet aliens.” This is all well and good—if you're not me. You see, ever since I was a little girl, I’ve t...

"I Was Bitten By A Snake!!" One of the most common animals found in dreams is the snake. Snakes are complicated symbols because they can have both positive and negative meanings.  To understand the significance of the snake in your dream, it is important to consider your own personal experiences with snakes and how the snake is viewed in your culture. For example, if you keep a snake as a pet, then the dream will have a different meaning for you than a person who hates snakes or are terrified of them. The snake is also a strong symbol in many cultures and thus your cultural background can play an important factor in how your snake dream is interpreted. Snake refers to fear: For many, the image of a snake can invoke fear. Snakes are unpredictable and can strike at anytime without warning. Thus a snake in your dream may  represent something in your life that is unpredictable and out of your control. You are afraid of the unknown. Snake refers to hidden threats: Because sn...
