Dream Introduction

Although a dream dictionary can be helpful when it comes to understanding your dreams, it's just a starting point.

These are common meanings of symbols, which may be helpful but may not always relate to your dreams.
It's likely that the meaning of the symbols and other stuff you see in dreams is pretty personal, so just use the suggestions in the dictionary as a starting point to get your mind going.

The more you listen to your dreams now, the better equipped you will be to understand and act on them in the future.
