Top 10 dream symbols

1.  Kisses
   Kisses represent acceptance and release. A passionate lip lock that lasts for a long time indicates that you are letting go of old problems. A passionate frontal kiss also signifies new beginnings.
   
   A dream of “unseen kisses”, when you can feel a phantom lover kissing your body, is your subconscious alerting you to trust your intuition as concerns day-to-day situations.
   

2.  Money
   Money in your dreams indicates that good luck is coming your way. Your subconscious is alerting you to have a more positive attitude so that all types of fortune can more easily find you. The amount of money and how it comes to you are the most significant factors.
   
   • Dreaming of finding money indicates that you will soon benefit from a friendship.
   • A dream that includes picking up a penny off the ground could indicate that friends or family are about to disappoint you.
   • Big bills, winning the lottery and large amounts of gold coins are all indicators of good luck in the near future.
   • A small amount of money in most situations usually means that you are being given less than you deserve by someone close to you.
   

3. Water
   Water can symbolize many things in dreams. A pool of water can represent your emotional nature. Still water represents a calm state of mind. Deep water represents emotional maturity. Moving through water represents an acceptance of changes in your emotional attitude.
   
   If you panic in your dream, because you are swimming but not getting anywhere, this may represent the consequences of your internal stubbornness. The desire to get to the edge of a pool is the mind’s need for the security of logic over emotion.
   

4. Nudity
   Nudity in dreams represents vulnerability. Without the barrier of clothes your inner self and true feelings are exposed to those whom you would prefer didn’t know the real you.
   
   When someone else is naked in your dreams, it represents your psyche undergoing changes. If it is an older man or authority figure, your decision-making ability is under severe assault. If a child or other vulnerable person is disrobed, indicates that a crossroads is approaching and you may be forced to speak up and demand that your rights and feelings be considered.
   

5. Loss of a valuable object
   Lost or misplaced items indicate frustration with a current situation that won’t change without drastic action. The actual lost item explains your frustration.
   
   • Something that holds sentimental value may indicate frustration in a family or love relationship.
   • Lost money indicates frustration with financial issues or frustration with a friendship dominated by the other person.
   • A missing person means you’re losing touch with part of yourself.
   • A common object represents the everyday world.
   • Not being able to find it an object illustrates increasing frustration about the situation.
   

6. Colors
   Colors have very deep meaning in dreams. They represent the immediate future and their significance increases based on the amount of a color in a particular dream. For example, receiving a green box may mean that you will be going on a short trip. Walking into a green room means a much longer vacation is headed your way.
   
   • Blue indicates that a new friend will come into your life.
   • Black means solitude or loneliness is ahead.
   • Brown symbolizes safety and security.
   • White represents authority and absolutes.
   • Red means your devotion to someone is about to be challenged.
   • Green represents travel.
   • Yellow is the color of illness, alerting you to take better care of yourself.
   • Purple represents aloofness or one-on-one time with your mate.
   • Orange indicates sexual tension; a reminder to remember your sexual needs.
   

7. Flying
   Flying is extremely common in dreams and usually represents frustration or unhappiness. It typically represents a lack of control over your life or indicates that your own inflated ego is causing unhappiness. It is a strong message to take control of your life. Flying can also signify exhibitionistic wishes, sexual pleasure, and the desire to recapture childhood.
   

8. Running
   Running in dreams illustrates that your goals are out of reach if you stay on your current path. Usually, running means drastic change in your life is required.
   
   If you dream of running from someone, it indicates a relationship from the past has some loose ends that need tying up. If you are running to meet someone in a dream, you should reconsider your current relationship. If you are running in a marathon or parade, you might consider changes in your employment situation.
   

9. Sex
   Though a sexual dream may be about pleasure, it doesn’t signal physical intimacy with the person in your dream. Sex in a dream is not a prediction of things to come. But it could be about power, success, sexual potency, manipulation or even your subconscious rewarding you for a job well done.
   
   Your sex partner in a dream represents a side of your personality that is developing. Dreaming of sex with a friend means you are becoming a better friend to all of your friends. A dream of sex with a relative can be a stressful thought, but actually means you are on better terms with your family. Sex with someone from your school indicates that you are becoming a better student.
   

10. Death
    Dreaming of death can be traumatic but it is actually an indicator of life events. Witnessing a death in your dream usually coincides with major changes in life, like starting a new year of school or moving to a new apartment. Death can illustrate endings as well as beginnings. What can seem unbearably sad as a dream may actually signal positive change.
    
    Recurring dreams
    Your mind uses recurring dreams to solve problems. They are an indicator that you are nearing a major breakthrough and your mind is rehearsing for the changes on the horizon.
