Dream symbols carry cross-cultural common themes, while the meaning of a given symbol is always personal. This dictionary collects 60+ classical dream symbols A→Z — water, flying, falling, snake, house, teeth, death, being chased, ex-partner, and the rest of the most common ones.
The lens is Jungian: a dream brings the unconscious's archetypal material into daylight. A symbol's 'meaning' is not objective — what the dictionary offers is a starting point; the real meaning lives in your personal relationship to the symbol. Carl Jung's Man and His Symbols (1964) and James Hillman's The Soul's Code (1996) are two classics of this approach.
