Dream Meanings

"In sleep, fantasy takes the form of dreams. But in waking life, too, we continue to dream beneath the threshold of consciousness, especially when under the influence of repressed or other unconscious complexes." - Carl Jung

Dreams are successions of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that occur involuntary in the mind during certain stages of sleep. That's what Wikipedia says at least.

Throughout time many people have believed that dreams have a deeper meaning behind them, I for one, am one of those people. Whether it's a dream about flying, being naked at school (lol), or even stealing cars, I've always thought every dream has had some hidden meaning behind it. Sometimes it's not even hidden, it's just straight up there.

So whenever I have spare time (or when I'm just bored) I read books, do research, and find web sites online that convey information that scientists have found throughout the years about dreams. So I thought it would be a little fun showing you guys dream definitions that were fantasy based, since I love anything mythological as you already know.

The ones you're about to see are some of my favorites, or that I've had dreams about.

Castle: To see a castle in your dream signifies reward, honor, recognition, and praise for your achievements. You are destined to a position of power, wealth and prestige. Alternatively, the dream indicates your desire to escape from life's daily problems. To dream that you live in a castle represents your extreme need for security and protection to the point where you may be isolating yourself from others. Perhaps the dream parallels a waking situation where it has put you on the defensive.

Dragon: To see a dragon in your dream represents your strong will and and fiery personality. You tend to get carried away by your passion, which may lead you into trouble. You need to exercise some self-control. In the eastern cultures, dragons are seen as spiritual creatures symbolizing good luck and fortune. To dream that you are a dragon and breathing fire suggests that you are using your anger to get your own way.

Elf: To see an elf in your dream refers to some imbalance and disharmony in your life. The elf often serves as a guide of the soul. Alternatively, it suggests that you need to be more carefree, worry-free, and light-hearted.

Fairy: To see a fairy in your dream indicates that you are in search of some help or advice for a problem or decision, but may not want to directly admit you need help. In particular, if the fairy is evil, then it suggests that an aspect of yourself needs to be set free. The fairy is also symbolic of your soul and the feminine aspects of yourself.

Dwarf: To see a dwarf in your dream suggests that you are well-grounded and connected to nature and the earth. Alternatively, a dwarf may may mean an aspect of yourself that is not fully developed or has been repressed. You may be feeling inferior or insignificant.

Wizard/Witch: To see a wizard in your dream suggests that you are trying to hone your skills and exercise your power. To see a witch in your dream represents evil and destruction. It may point to your negative ideas of anything feminine and your experiences with dangerous or heartless women. Alternatively, a witch may be a symbol of goodness, power and enchantment depending on your feeling toward your dream witch.

Centaur: To see a centaur in your dream symbolizes the duality of human nature. It indicates that you are trying to balance your intellectual/mental nature with your physical nature. The centaur also represents humanity, wisdom, and compassion.
