Dream interpretation is a useful but often misunderstood art.
Dream symbols can have generic interpretations and meanings. These symbolic meanings are really not hard and fast rules. In another word, they are not and should not be regarded as 100% definitive.
Below listed are some common dream symbols and their commonly associated meanings:
Water. Generally, it represents our emotion. This symbol can have many variations. Some variations include manifestations of water such as floods, rivers, oceans and ponds. Generally, ocean also represents the deep subconscious part of the human psyche.
Road. Generally, this symbol represents our journey in life. A winding road may mean that the journey ahead have twists and turns. Variations of this symbol include tracks and paths.
Room. A room generally represents a certain aspect of our self or personality. The quality of the room provides clues to the characteristic of that part of our personality.
Ghost. This is often a very misunderstood dream symbol. The ghost in our dream often represents a specific aspect of our personality that we are not consciously aware of. This lack of awareness of that part of us often gives us fear. Ghost therefore represents whatever that appears as unknown to us, that are actually a part of us too.
As said earlier, it must be understood that the meanings attached to dream symbols differ from individuals to individuals. Although there are common semantics and meanings to many dream symbols, an individual's personal upbringing and cultural beliefs can modify and change his or her internal associations to the symbols.
