More Dream Symbols and Their Meanings

Dreaming is a universal experience. We all dream, even if we don't remember doing so. Many things, or symbols, show up in dreams often. An appearance of such a symbol in a dream can mean something, or it might not. Here are some more common symbols and their usual meanings.

Dreaming about being in a club (an organized group, not a night club) can mean a few things. If you're being thrown out, it could mean you feel guilty about something. Being accepted into a club can signify you feel accepted by those around you.

If there is a dead person in your dream, you may feel you have unresolved issues with that person. Other possible meanings include positive changes about to happen for you, or your unconscious and conscious minds are trying to communicate.

If you dream about being evicted, you may have some feelings you need to deal with. Your dream may be telling you that you feel rejected by others or you don't feel capable of dealing with something going on in your life. Eviction could also mean you wish to get rid of a person in your life or an aspect of your personality.
Dreaming about attending a festival of some kind could indicate that you're trying to avoid a specific problem or are dependent on others for entertainment. This could also simply mean that you're happy.

Playing a game in your dream could be your mind's way of telling you you're gambling with some part of your life. This could also indicate you are in competition with someone or need to manipulate.

If you have a dream that you're homeless, you may have feelings of insecurity, whether they're physical, emotional or spiritual. Or you could feel uncentered and without focus in life.

Some of us dream about having an interview just before we have one, because we are anxious. Other times dreaming about an interview could mean you feel scrutinized, or you're questioning someone's motives.

Kidnapping can mean two things if it appears in your dream. If you are the one kidnapped, you may be feeling strong about a battle or argument you're having with someone. If you witness someone else being kidnapped, you might be feeling bad news is on its way to you.

If a locker figures into your dream, you might be thinking about hidden parts of your personality. This could also mean you have a repressed emotion or problem. If you have a hard time opening the locker, you may be uncertain or confused about something in your life.
