Dreams About Throwing Money Away: What They Really Mean

July 15, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

Money Dreams - what do these dreams mean?!

“I had a dream that has me pretty worried.  I dreamed a few nights ago that I had been given a $50,000 check from my boss.  I went immediately to some sort of store that I’ve never seen before and blew every last penny on stupid stuff, I mean really STUPID stuff.  Things I didn’t want and things I’d never buy in my real life.  At the end of the dream, I was very sad and frustrated because I blew all the money and didn’t have it any more.  I kept thinking, “I want it back. I wasted it all and I can’t get it back!’  What does this dream mean? I haven’t lost anything or anyone in my life recently. Does this mean I’m going to lose a lot of money or lose something or someone near to me? I’m a  real wreck with worry!!!” -  Rita

First of all, Rita, this dream isn’t an omen.  Dreams don’t tell the future – because no one can really, accurately do that.   This dream has a real, genuine meaning, but before we get to it – I think it’s a good idea to remind everyone that dreams aren’t, by nature prophetic.  HOWEVER, they can point out situations or needs to us that’ll allow us to avert potential problems sensed by our subconscious mind.

Here’s the thing, our subconscious mind is much more in touch with what’s going on in our mind and heart than our conscious mind is.  Our conscious mind has so many different things to process and take care of during the day. Too many things are vying for our attention!  However, when we yield ourselves to our subconscious mind (such as in sleep or deep mediation),  we give our subconscious mind a chance to speak up and have its say.

This is why dream analysis is so VERY important.  If we can grab and hang onto what our subconscious mind tells us in our sleep, we can learn extremely valuable things about ourselves and our lives – things that aren’t caught by the over-stimulated and over-worked conscious mind.

In this particular dream, the dreamer (Rita) is getting a very clear and distinct message.  This dream indicates that Rita is, deep down, afraid that she’s missing a great opportunity.  I believe that her subconscious mind recognizes that she’s letting something slip by that she’ll later regret.  This could be a job opportunity, a relationship, time spent with a loved one, a house, a car… basically anything.

Only the dreamer knows for certain what may be slipping away from her!

Rita, my suggestion would be to get alone someplace very quiet and private.  Go deep into your thoughts and find this opportunity that your subconscious mind is afraid of missing. The dream symbolism is that you are “blowing it.”  The fact that you felt so dejected and wanted so desperately to “get it back” indicates that we’re talking about time.  This sort of dream is very common amongst parents who feel they aren’t spending enough time with their children.   A lot of people have this sort of dream when they’re afraid they aren’t spending as much time visiting their parents or other family members enough.

The thing your subconscious mind is most afraid of losing seems to be TIME.  Money and Time are often interchangeable in dreams and money is a commons symbol for time (after all, they’re each things we SPEND and the subconscious mind would have a difficult time symbolizing time, itself).

Dreaming of Being a Bridesmaid

June 29, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

Wedding Bouquet

If you dream of being a bridesmaid, the dream analysis and interpretation all depend on one thing: How you FELT in the dream and how you FELT as soon as you woke from the dream.

If you felt sad or angry during the dream (and upon waking) the dream means that you’re currently feeling jealous of someone or something. You may even resent the attention they’re getting and wish some of it were coming your way!

If you felt happy or excited during the dream and upon waking, you are currently feeling very happy for someone – probably in regard to a romantic relationship they’re enjoying.  Your happiness for them is simply spilling over into your dream(s).

Of course, if you are currently planning a wedding with (or for) someone, the dream is only a symbol of the wedding you’re planning for.

Dream Interpretation: Hole in the Road Nightmare

May 31, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

Dream Interpretation: Hole in the road dreamsHole in the Road Dreams: What they mean and why it matters!

A recent dreamer submitted a frustrating dream they were having for analysis. This dream involved a hole in the road that they knew they had to avoid.  In fact, in the dream, they were aware of the fact that falling in the hole meant certain death.

The funny thing was, they could see into the hole and it was only about a foot deep and beautiful yellow flowers were on the bottom!  The dreamer wondered why such a shallow, innocent looking hole would elicit such fear in the dream.  As he/she pointed out, “… the thing that had me so frightened during the dream, and even after I first woke up, seems silly now. It looked like a flower bed that had sunk about a foot!”  However, the dreamer also mentioned that this was actually one of the worst nightmares they’d had in a long time and that they woke up “frightened” and “breathing heavily.”

While it may seem that avoiding the hole would have been easy, the hole in the dream was on a very narrow road that the dreamer HAD to travel on.  They simply HAD to get past the hole without falling in.  Dreams are amazing like that, we just KNOW something but most dreamers have no idea where the knowledge stems from.  What makes these dreams even more fascinating is the fact that the knowledge does stem from someplace… the dreamer’s subconsciousness.  Which is, of course, why dream interpretation is so important and fascinating – our dreams truly do let us know what’s going on deep in our minds and hearts.

In the dream of the hole in the road, the dreamer KNEW that the innocent-looking hole was deadly.  While this may be a bit extreme for what lies in their day to day world, make no mistake about it:  There is something in their life that spells trouble.  Whether it’s a relationship, hobbies, a goal, plans, job, etc…  There is something that, while on the surface seems innocent (as lovely perhaps as a flower bed), could spell disaster.  Deep in the dreamer’s subconsciousness, they know it.

The thing about this dream that worries me most is how the dreamer felt during the dream and upon waking.  So much about a dream’s interpretation lies in how the dreamer felt (or feels).  The intensity of the feelings indicates that the potential danger that lies within the dreamer’s real life isn’t something they should play around with.  When our dreams are this intense and bring about such strong emotions and feelings, make no mistake about it, our subconscious mind REALLY wants us to listen!

Of course, changes in our lives shouldn’t be made on the grounds of a dream alone.  The dream should serve as a reason to look more closely at what’s going on in our lives.

If you’ve ever had a dream about a hole in the road (or along your path) that you were afraid of falling in, realize that it’s symbolic of something in your life – something that you’re afraid of “falling into” or “falling prey to.”

Some people, who have recently quit smoking, will have hole dreams.  The dream symbolism is that they’re afraid of falling back into a harmful habit.  Many times, realizing that their subconscious mind fears for their well-being is JUST the extra incentive they need to avoid the pitfalls while awake as surely as they do in their dream.

Have you ever personally had hole dreams.  Do you realize what the hole in the dream symbolized?  Share your dream and experiences in the comments!

What Does it Mean When You Dream of an Operation?

May 3, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

Dream Interpretation: Operation Dreams!

I was recently asked, via the contact form, “What does it mean when you dream of having an operation?“  This type of dream actually depends on whether or not you have an upcoming doctor’s appointment or trip to the dentist.  If you have an upcoming exam, procedure, or even a check-up, dreaming of an operation is simply a matter of your mind “acting out” anxieties you may have. It most definitely doesn’t indicate that anything is seriously wrong with you.  You’re simply anxious about the appointment and/or procedure.

If you do not have an upcoming appointment, dreaming about an operation indicates something different, all together.  Operation dreams (or even dreams of having your teeth pulled or your hair cut) indicate the subconscious desire to REMOVE something from your life or for someone (sometimes even yourself) to CUT something out!  For example, many people who are struggling with overcoming a bad habit (overeating, smoking, etc.) or correcting an undesirable trait (bad temper, dishonesty…) will have operation dreams.

It’s their mind’s way of processing their desire to REMOVE something from their lives.  And, yes, sometimes this something might be a specific person! If a relationship has gone very bad, you may dream of an operation, symbolizing your desire to remove either the trouble or the person from you life.  Only the dreamer knows for sure which is the case.

If you dream of another person having an operation, you must be very careful about your dream interpretation.  The dream analysis could go one of two ways:

  • The operation in the dream could symbolize something you want THEM to cut out of their life or remove from their personality/disposition.
  • The dream could indicate something in your own life – something that’s related to this particular individual in some way.
  • The dream could have nothing whatsoever to do with the person having the operation in your dream!  It could be that they were on your mind recently and their appearance in the dream has nothing to do with the interpretation – the only thing that matters is the operation, itself.

When you think back to the dream, pay close attention to the emotions you remembered having in the dream.  If your dream involved someone else having surgery, the more you focused on THEM in the dream, the more likely they have something to do with the interpretation.  However, if the main focus of the dream was the operation, it’s likely that they were simply a “stand in.”

As with all dreams, only you can get to the real analysis.  Think about the things in your life that you’d like to change.  What thing(s) would you remove from your life if you had the power to do so? When you come up with an answer to this question, you’ll have the analysis of the dream.

What Mountain Dreams Mean and Why Dream Analysis is So Important

April 22, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

What do Mountain Dreams Mean?

If you dream of a mountain, your mind is actually “sorting out” a few things in your life. Mainly, these dreams are ways the brain sorts out:

  • obstacles
  • lofty tasks
  • very large challenges

Generally speaking, when we’re faced with what we perceive to be small obstacles or relatively easy tasks and challenges, we don’t have significant dreams about them.  Our mind thinks, “No biggie. I can knock this out!”  However, when the tasks or challenges are large and the obstacles seem all but insurmountable, the brain sort of “lashes out” in sleep.  I think of it as the brain saying, “Seriously?!  I have THIS to deal with?!”

Often, in our daily lives, we become so busy and goal-oriented that we don’t always realize just how intimidated or anxious we are when it comes to challenges.  However, when our pace and our minds slow down, in sleep, the obstacles and challenges finally have a chance to catch up with us.  It’s THEN that the brain can register just how largely they’re looming on the horizon.

Dream analysis is vital and crucial to real self-realization and self-growth.  This type of dream is the perfect example why.

After dreaming of mountains, for example, an individual can take inventory of their life.  The dreamer can sit down, with pen and paper, and write down things that could possibly be represented or symbolized by the mountains in their dream.  Could it be something at work or school? Could it be a particular goal like wanting to lose weight, quit smoking, or learn a new language? Could the mountain symbolize a problematic relationship – one in which the dreamer doesn’t hold much hope for?

When the dreamer identifies the symbolization of the mountain, he or she can then write down ways in which they can proactively deal with obstacles and ways they can find their way to the finish line!

That’s the beauty of dreams, dream interpretation, and dream analysis. Most people just see the FUN side of dreams and finding out what dreams mean. And, make no mistake about it, it is fun!  However, people need to realize that we can use our dreams to open new doors and find new paths to making our dreams come true – whether they’re financial dreams (finding a better job, making more money, starting your own business..), personal victories (losing weight, becoming more outgoing, overcoming bad habits…), relationship-related goals (finding your soul mate, improving your family relationships, improving your romantic relationships, communicating with your children or parents…), or any goal or dream you can think of!

Use your dreams to help you open a whole new world and possibly even a whole new you!

What Does it Mean to Dream About Snakes?

March 22, 2011 by · 1 Comment

Snake Dreams

Snake dreams continue to be the most popular type of dream here on Dream Prophesy.  The reason for this is pretty clear and totally understandable, however that’s of little comfort when someone has such an unsettling dream!

The reason snake dreams are so popular and common is this: Snakes are (deservedly or not) a universal symbol of everything evil, wrong, scary, frightening, and bad.

Thanks, Eve.

Snakes represent, to most of us anyway, great fear and uncommon anxiety.  Granted, there are those who love snakes with the same type of adoration the rest of us have for our cats, dogs, birds, guinea pigs,  rabbits, hamsters, and so on.  As a matter of fact, when a lot of people talk about their beloved pet, they’re referring to a snake.  And when these snake-lovers have dreams about snakes, they usually symbolize something entirely different.  When they dream about snakes, they’re no more alarmed that I would be if I dreamed about cats.  As someone with four cats, this is completely common for me and I never give it a second thought.

For most of us, however, snakes do represent BAD (fear, anxiety, frustration…).  Common symbol for BAD = A common dream.

Here’s something that I find to be extremely fascinating.  I’ve been a dreamologist  for over 10 years.  That’s a lot of dreams to be analyzed and studied! I’ve noticed something over the years that fascinates me.  MANY adults who work with kids, particularly teachers, frequently have a similar dream involving snakes:

They’ll confront a snake (or another representation of evil) that they’re trying valiantly to destroy.  Many will even say things like, “I know it’s going to hurt a lot of people and I want to stop it…”  However, they can’t get anyone to get on board with them and help out.  The frustration of the dream stays with these dreamers as much as the image of the snake or snakes do.  One of the reasons I believe this is so common is that teachers, undoubtedly, often feel very much “up against it.”  They love kids and sincerely want to help them.  They’ve dedicated their lives to them, so they obviously feel very strongly about young people.  However, they can’t do everything.

They feel very overwhelmed, at times, due to a lack of parental support and/or a lack of support from the school system, principal, school board, etc.  Teachers aren’t even paid as much as they deserve – no doubt the frustration sometimes gets to them. How could it not?  Although most handle it admirably and you’d never really know the lack of support they sometimes encounter, their subconscious mind ALWAYS knows.  the subconscious mind realizes just how much the individual sometimes feels as though he or she is fighting for a child or children without anyone backing them up.

Enter the snake.

Honestly, this is such a recurring theme for people involved in education and kids that books could be written.   Needless to say, the theme is actually beautiful – the thought that people who are in charge of kids care so much about “saving” them and protecting them that it carries over to their dreams.

Snakes, for most people are dream symbols for something (anything, really) that’s evil, bad, scary, or undesired in any way. When we have things on our mind during the day that are negative, to put it simply, they show up in our dreams dressed as snakes.

Appropriate attire for evil.

Whether you work with kids or not, snakes symbolize something that you are afraid of, intimidated by, anxious about, or worried about.  It may be a tiny seed of fear deep inside of you – one that you barely even know exists.  The thing is, your subconscious mind knows it’s there.  Dreams are its way of getting the fear out into the open, allowing you to confront it and deal with it.

If, like teachers, you find yourself trying to do something about the snake but can’t seem to find any support or help – your dream interpretation is similar to the teacher’s.  You feel, in your waking life, a lack of support from the people around you.  You often feel that you’re fighting a battle alone.

Snake dreams will usually subside once you realize that this fear, and possible isolation, exists.  A word of caution, however:  As with all unsettling dreams – try very hard not to dwell on them, especially right before going to sleep.  Doing so only invites the dream to RECUR, and when it comes to snake dreams, that’s the last thing any of us want.

What Does it Mean to Dream About Your Own Death?

March 16, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

Easily, one of the most disturbing dreams you can have revolves around your own death. Some of these dreams involve just KNOWING that you’re about to die. Other dreams actually take the dreamer to Heaven, allowing them to visit with loved ones who have previously died. Many times, when this is the case, it simply indicates that the dreamer has been missing at least one of these loved ones. It can also mean that the dreamer is missing a period of time in their life – one that they shared with this person. Many times we’re kind of nostalgic for our childhoods and we’ll either dream that people from that period of time are still with us, or that we’ve gone to Heaven to see them.

Similar to illness dreams, dreaming of dying isn’t so much about sickness or death as it is about TRANSITION, LOSS, or CHANGE.

Here’s an example:

Claire, from Detroit, e-mailed me about a troubling dream she had about a week ago. She dreamed that she knew she was dying. In her dream, she was watching her husband and children play in the yard and wondered how (after she’d died) she could let them “know” that she was watching over them. She decided that she’d give them “signs.” They each knew that she loved the color orange, that roses were her favorite flower, and that her favorite bird was the oriole. She decided, in her dream, that she’d take these forms every day for her family – to let them know she was still with them.

As it turned out, Claire and her family were going through a lot of changes. Her husband had recently been laid off, their oldest son had been diagnosed with asthma, and a close family member had moved several states away. As the family dealt with many transitions, Claire undoubtedly felt stressed and anxious. She wanted to keep her family strong and do her best to help everyone deal with the changes positively.

When we go through transitions in our lives, we realize that we need to CHANGE inside as we cope with the changes outside. Sometimes we simply have to change the way we look at things – as well as changing our expectations and goals. Death dreams are simply a by-product of these transitional phases of life. They’re entirely normal – and actually kind of therapeutic. For one thing, they remind us that we can handle anything…. after all, we’re still alive!!!

One other cause of death dreams is guilt. Sometimes we say or do something we really wish we hadn’t. The guilt can overwhelm us if we don’t do everything in our power to apologize and make it right. Many times this guilt will become symbolized in our dreams as self-inflicted harm, illness, or even death.

If you’ve had dreams about your own death, rest assured, they are not prophetic – they are simply an indication of stress, change, transitions, or even anxiety. Dreams do not tell the future – they tell the present.

Dreams About Losing or Gaining Weight

January 5, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

If you dream that you’ve suddenly gained or lost a great deal of weight, you are probably dealing with some sort of change in your life.

Some dream experts and interpreters believe that this type of dream is an indication that you are having trouble adjusting to or accepting this change but I don’t think this is a 100 percent hard and fast rule.  Personally, I think the weight gain (or loss) is simply a dream symbol for change – whether or not you’re handling it well or not.

Take, for example, a woman from Massachusetts who dreamed that she had gained over 20 pounds.  She wasn’t alarmed by the dream, whatsoever.  In fact, it amused her greatly!  She pointed out that the weight gain “took a good 20 years off” of her appearance.

When I told her that these types of dreams were usually symbolic of change she e-mailed me back, listing the following changes she’d gone through in the past 3 months:

  • She married “Mr. Right”
  • She and Mr. Right moved to a new town
  • Both of them started new jobs
  • They’d bought 2 Siamese cats

This uncommonly warm and friendly woman was very excited about her new life and family. She embraced all of the changes and was, in her words, “happier than anyone deserves to be.”  Her dream was simply her brain’s way of reveling in her new found bliss and joy.  Her brain realized that so much had been added to her world… hence the additions it made to her weight!

Dreams of Losing Weight

Dreams of losing weight aren’t always negative either.  If, for example, an individual wants to lose weight, they may dream of doing so.  It makes a great deal of sense, given the fact that they probably think about weight loss a lot during the day.

It’s extremely common and perfectly logical to dream about the things we think about the most.

However, if you have lost weight (in your dream) as a result of sickness or unhappiness – you are more likely than not struggling with recent change or changes.  You feel that you are losing a part of your life – and maybe even yourself.

Whether you dream of losing weight or gaining weight, ask yourself the following question (and try to answer it as soon after the dream as possible):  “How did I feel during the dream and how did I feel as soon as I awoke?”

  • If you felt alarmed, sad, worried, anxious, or scared in the dream – the dream symbolism is a negative one.  This dream indicates that you are having a great deal of trouble with recent changes.  You’ve probably been trying to make the best of an unfortunate situation, but you simply aren’t adjusting to the change.  The dream indicates that you need to take a good, long, honest look at the changes in your life and ask what you can do to help yourself adjust better.
  • If you felt nonchalant, that is neither good nor bad – this indicates that the dream is simply acknowledging the changes.  It’s not passing judgment on whether it finds the change to be good or bad, it’s simply acknowledging that it does exist!
  • If you felt happy, joyful, and excited in your dream (and felt good upon waking), it indicates that you embrace the change or changes and are in a very, very good place.

I hope that the last one is exactly where you find yourself!

Dreaming About Fire: What Does it Mean?

August 10, 2010 by · 2 Comments

If you dream of fire, a lot of the dream interpretation rests in the situation.  For example, is the fire a “cozy” fire in a fireplace or is it a raging fire threatening anyone and anything in its path.

If the fire in your dream is a controlled fire (bonfire, fireplace, candles, etc) and there aren’t negative emotions connected to it in your dream, the fire stands for a type of renewal or regeneration in your life.  Maybe you’re feeling better about a situation that had been troubling you or perhaps you’ve recently made a very important change that you feel good about.

In dreams, fire is often symbolic of cleansing and renewal.  It is also symbolic of “warm” feelings and emotions.  If you dream of a fireplace, these warm feelings are probably of a romantic nature.  Many people believe that if you dream of lit birthday candles, you are excited about the future – maybe not, necessarily, your next birthday – but something in the future, or just the future in general.

If the fire in your dream is threatening or scary in any way, the symbolism is different.  Rather than indicating renewal, passion, romance, and warmth, this type of fire represents a feelings frustration and of being out of control (more likely than not emotionally).

Many people, after an argument in which they acted out in a way that left them sorry and embarrassed will dream of a raging fire.  Truth be told, it could also symbolize “cleansing” as they wish they could wipe the slate clean.   They feel as though they lost control and are frustrated that they couldn’t extinguish their emotions before they took on a life of their own.

Many people who are overwhelmed at work or school will also have fire dreams – because often their lives feel somewhat “out of control.”

If you dream of a wildfire that’s out of control, you’d be wise to really examine what’s going on in your life because this is your brain’s most extreme dream symbol that something is out of control in your life.  It’s pretty much telling you that you need to get a hold on the situation because it’s in danger of getting out of hand.

This is kind of cool:  If you dream of a fireman, a firetruck, or anything associated with putting out fires, you have recently overcome a negative passion, habit, or thought and feel pretty proud of yourself!

Dreams: What Do Inadequacy Dreams Mean?

July 27, 2010 by · 1 Comment
Photographer: Javier Bano

First of all, what do we mean by inadequacy dreams?  An inadequacy dream would be one in which you dream that you are either:

  • too fat
  • too thin
  • too old
  • too young
  • too unattractive
  • too sick
  • too forgetful
  • not smart enough
  • not tall enough
  • too tall
  • overqualified
  • under qualified
  • and on and on and on!

Basically, any dream in which you disappoint yourself, scare yourself, or fail to meet your expectations is an inadequacy dream.

Here’s a recent inadequacy dream submitted for analysis: Dreaming About Forgetting

I am a 52 year old mother of 2 boys (one’s 12 and the other is 21).  I had a dream a week ago that has stayed with me and is just very upsetting.  I dreamed that I was holding a baby girl and that she was my baby.  She was crying and had a fever.  So I took her to what appeared to be a doctor’s office.  The nurse working at the window asked me my name and I told her.  She asked what was wrong with my baby and I told her that she had a fever, didn’t seem to feel well and was crying a lot.  Then the nurse asked me my baby’s name and I couldn’t remember it.

I felt SO frustrated and scared in the dream (and when I woke up and ever since).  I was trying so hard to remember the name and kept thinking, “How can you forget the name of your own baby?”

Most of the time dreams don’t stay with me.  I usually remember them for a day or two but this one won’t leave my mind.  I keep feeling how frustrated and scared I was.

Now I’m scared that this means I’m losing my memory or that I might have problems with Alzheimer’s or something.  I’m just really in a bad place right now because of this dream.  Please help me sort this out so I can get rid of this feeling.  Thank you.

P.S.  Oh, by the way, this is strange – but somehow I know that the baby’s name was Victoria. It came to me just as I was waking up from the dream.

First of all, relax and throw out any left over fears and anxieties!   Very often dreaming about forgetting things is simply a sign that we need to slow down and start paying more attention to things.   It’s possible that you recently forgot something or almost forgot something and the frustration of that incident carried over into your dream.

Forgetting things is a very common thing – it happens to people of all ages, young and old.  It isn’t a sign of losing your memory or even of getting old – most of the time it’s simply a sign that you’re too busy or that you aren’t paying as much attention to details as possible.  Sometimes, in our work and at home, we get kind of lazy and don’t pay as much attention to details.  This leads to forgotten cellphones, keys, and sunglasses!

Most people just laugh at the situation – but a certain age group (between about 35 and 55) almost panics.  We tend to think, “Dear, God, please don’t let me be losing my mind!!!“  We don’t just hit the panic button, we jump on it.

Yet, if we pause and take a deep breath, we’ll remember that forgetting things happen at all ages.  After all, what about the time we forgot our school lunch, the time we forgot the dates for the history exam (!!!), the time we forgot to take the right notebook to class – etc, etc, etc.  If we would be reasonable, we’d realize that forgetting things isn’t anything new!

I do a lot of research and reading for another one of my websites, Out of Bounds.  It’s all about mental fitness, sharpening your mind, improving your memory, and just staying sharp.  I always recommend challenging the mind to keep it on it’s proverbial toes. Doing a lot of the recommended tips given on Out of Bounds will help you to not only stay sharp – it’ll give you confidence.

Right now, I’d say that a recent event (something small – like forgetting your keys…) has sort of smacked your confidence around – hence the dream.  Unfortunately, the dream only compounded the problem!

Rest assured that I’m certain the frustrating feelings will subside right away.

Other Inadequacy Dreams

If you’ve had inadequacy dreams,  realize that they stem from a particular insecurity.  If you dream that you are overweight, for example, you either…

  1. Have been feeling like you need to lose weight.
  2. Have a deep-seeded fear of becoming overweight.

Another interpretation for this type of dream – if you’re certain that you have no insecurities whatsoever – is that you “emotionally feel” whatever inadequacy is portrayed in the dream.  For example, if you dream you are incredibly ugly – yet don’t feel at all unattractive, you could have recently acted “ugly” and have guilt over your actions.

If you dream that you are overweight – yet you know you are a perfect size – you may feel like you’re “carrying too much weight” at the office, at school, or at home.

Finally, don’t ever let a mere dream shake your confidence or your swagger.  Dream Prophesy is all about USING your dreams as self help and self improvement vessels.  It’s the whole reason I put the website up in the first place!  We can take our dreams and use them as springboards to improving our lives.  If you dream of a particular inadequacy – put a little extra effort into chasing away the insecurities and watch your confidence soar!
