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.
(Rod Suskin: Astrologer, Sangoma and Dream Analysis Expert)

Dream Dictionary L

Laboratory

Dreaming of a laboratory could mean two things: either you're really keen to gain more knowledge and that means studying further or you're feeling anxious that someone is testing you.

Ladder

Climbing a ladder: You've got dreams and ambitions to reach the top!

Descending a ladder: You've set your goals too high. A disappointed is in store.

Falling off a ladder: You lack the self-confidence needed to get things done.

Lake

Calm waters: Things are going really smoothly with your love life.

Stormy waters: Tough times are ahead... Hang in there.

Language

Dreaming that people are talking to you in a language that you don't understand? This is your subconscious telling you to broaden your horizons. Maybe it's time to start saving for that trip abroad.

Late

Dreaming that you're late for an appointment is a pre-warning dream that you shouldn't make plans without giving them some thought.

Laughter

Unwelcome laughter: You're worried that people think your ideas are silly and won't give them the proper attention that they deserve.

Welcome laughter: This is a sign that you're seeking approval and that you wish to be seen as more popular amongst your colleagues and friends.

Letter

Writing a letter: You wish to communicate more easily with others.

Receiving a letter: You're about to receive some cash... Yay for you!

Reading someone else's letter: Mmm, not such great news. This is usually a sign that you're going to lose some money.

Library

Dreaming of a library is a sign that your subconscious is trying to come to terms with a new idea or new piece of knowledge... You feel like you've made a great discovery!

Lies

You'd think that hearing lies in your dream would be a bad sign right? But actually it's a sign that the future is rosy, especially when it comes to money matters.

Lifeboat

You desperately want someone to rescue you from your current situation.

Lift

Dreaming about getting stuck in a lift is usually a sign that you're worried about death... But if you've hit hard by Telkom's electricity cuts, your brain could just be working over time!

Light

Seeing a light in your dream is a comforting sign that all is well and that a resolution to that sticky problem is on the way.

Blinding light: Seeing a blinding light in your dream means that you need to stop thinking so realistically about every situation that comes your way and that you need to start exercising the wisdom of your intuitive side.

Lightening

Seeing lightening in your dream is a positive sign that the truth to a problem that has been bothering you will shortly be revealed.

Struck by lightening: Another wonderful sign! You're soon going to be coming up with a wonderful idea or invention.

Litter

A sign that your emotional life is a little bit of a mess right now.

Luggage

Carrying heavy luggage is a sign that you're carrying a heavy burden. If you lose luggage in your dream, it means that your 'worry load', will soon lighten.
