What Is A Dream Symbol?
A dream symbol is an image, object, animal, place or situation that appears in a dream. People often connect dream symbols with emotions, memories, fears, hopes or unfinished thoughts. For example, water is often linked with emotion, while flying may be linked with freedom or escape.
Dream meanings are personal. The same symbol can feel completely different depending on your life, mood and experience. Use this explorer as a gentle starting point, then ask yourself what the dream reminded you of and how it made you feel.
