How can I translate my dreams?

Symbols are the language of dreams. A symbol can invoke a feeling or an idea and often has a much more profound and deeper meaning than any one word can convey. At the same time, these symbols can leave you confused and wondering what that dream was all about.

Acquiring the ability to interpret your dreams is a powerful tool. In analyzing your dreams, you can learn about your deep secrets and hidden feelings. Remember that no one is a better expert at interpreting your dreams than yourself.  

To guide you with your dreams interpretations, we have interpreted over 5900 keywords and symbols and over 20,000 different meanings in our ever expanding dream dictionary. These meanings are in no way, the final say in what YOUR dream  means, but hopefully it will inspire you to explore and offer a suggestive starting point for understanding your own dreams. There is no "one dream interpretation fits all." 

Every detail, even the most minute element in your dream is important and must be considered when analyzing your dreams. Each symbol represents a feeling, a mood, a memory or something from your unconscious. Look closely at the characters, animals, objects, places, emotions, and even color and numbers that are depicted in your dreams. Even the most trivial symbol can be significant. This dictionary, along with your own personal experiences, memories and circumstances, will serve to guide you through a meaningful and personalized interpretation. With practice, you can gain an understanding of the cryptic messages your dreams are trying to tell you.

Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud practised psychoanalysis and published many case histories such as that of Daniel Schreber.

Given the relevance many people can see in dreams, Freud believed that the content of our dreams are an expression of the subconscious.

Using regression and hypnosis, he set out to uncover the underlying subconscious thoughts of patients in order to identify the underlying causes of their complaints.


Dreams...are not meaningless...they are a completely valid psychological phenomenon, the fulfilment of wishes... constructed through highly complicated intellectual activity.
- Sigmund Freud (Psychoanalyst)
