Pig Dreams: The Analysis Can Go One of Two Ways
What Does it Mean to Dream About Pigs?!
Like a lot of dream interpretations and dream symbols, pig dreams can go one of several ways. The first one I’ll give is the most common analysis – but don’t be surprised if your dream’s meaning is more in line with the second one.
Pigs May Symbolize Someone Less Than Desirable
Although a lot of people (me, included!) find pigs to be too cute for words, the word “pig” is often associated with someone who lacks moral decency. “He’s such a pig!” is a common phrase for someone you either don’t want to know – or wish you didn’t!
If you dream of pigs, it could be symbolic of your feelings toward someone. You may or may not even realize you harbor these feelings.
Sometimes, the pig in the dream symbolizes the dreamer, him/her self. Guilt or remorse can make a person “act out” regret in their dreams.
Pigs May Symbolize a Feeling of Gluttony
Some people dream about pigs following something that makes them feel like a glutton. They probably even said something along the lines of, “I pigged out” or “I was such a pig!” the previous day.
Pig dreams are yet another example of how fascinating and fun our dreams are. The symbolisms we use never cease to amaze… or amuse… me.
Entrance Dream: I Kept Seeing Enter Signs!
This Dream’s Interpretation has to Do With an Exciting New Chapter in the Dreamer’s Life
A recently submitted dream for interpretation and analysis:
I recently had a really busy dream. I was going so many places and doing so many different things. You always say to remember the dream symbols in a dream and the emotions in the dream, so when I woke up I wrote down the things I remembered. I saw about 9 or 10 ENTRANCE signs in the dream which was weird. There was a sign like that over every store or restaurant or car shop I went into. As for my emotions in the dream, I was excited about each place I went to. When there I was happy and content. I was real busy, but I was real happy. Happy and excited are the main emotions I remember. I even felt like that when I woke up. I was smiling all morning and couldn’t even tell anyone why I was so happy. I wish I had more dreams like this one! – Kelly G.
Kelly, I’m with you – we could all use more dreams like this one. As I’ve said before, when I’m reading a dream, one of the first “clues” I look for is how the dream makes ME feel – the emotions I pick up on. While reading through the description of this particular dream, the main thing that stood out was the excitement and anticipation the dreamer has with each progression.
“Busy” dreams usually symbolize one of two things:
- A feeling of being overwhelmed in the dreamer’s daily life.
- A large, looming task that needs to be accomplished.
- A new chapter in the dreamer’s life.
Given the emotions involved, I’d say this dream definitely fits the latter. Kelly’s dream indicates that the dreamer is currently going through a large change in their life (or will go through such a change soon). This sort of change could be an exciting new job, going to a new school, moving, buying a new home, or starting a new relationship.
The eagerness to approach each new entrance sign indicates that she’s more than a little excited about the new opportunities headed her way.
What Does it Mean to Dream About an Army?
Your Dream’s Telling You Something Very Important
Someone recently told me they’d had a long, epic dream about an army marching through their town. Soldiers came to his door to recruit him in the fight! The dreamer said he never really saw what – or who – the army was fighting, but he picked up on their fierce determination to win anyway. Naturally, he was anxious to learn what this dream means and asked for my dream analysis.
To dream of an army, war, battlefield, or even weapons means something very important. These types of dreams indicate that you feel that you are “up against it” right now. You have apparently been fighting some type of battle in your life and this dream is your mind’s way of coming to terms with all of the drama.
I’ve heard of people who had army dreams while battling disease, relationship problems, and issues with their job. I have also heard of people who had similar dreams while battling their own personal battle with something in their life (weight problem, bad habit…).
Only the dreamer can say, for certain, what battle is symbolized in the dream.
This type of dream should be seen as a warning. You’ve probably been pushing yourself too hard (as indicated by the subconscious mind thinking of your situation in terms of a battle!). It might just be time to relax a little and take a new approach to the situation.
On rare occasions, army or battle dreams symbolize a battle you’ve recently won or lost. Again, only the dreamer knows for sure.
What Do Anger Dreams Mean?
The Analysis May Surprise You!
A recent dream submitted to me for interpretation:
What does it mean to dream of being so angry that you scream so loud it breaks glass? I had that dream two days ago. I was so angry with my girlfriend and parents in my dream that I screamed at all of them. I screamed so loud all of the windows in the house broke. Then I picked up a chair and threw it at the wall. My dad tried to talk to me but I wouldn’t listen. I ran out of the house, but I came back and just fussed more. The best I can figure out, in my dream I was angry at them for not telling me about something or another. I’m really not clear about why I was so mad. But I can’t get over how angry and filled with rage I was. I’m not like that in any way in real life. What did this dream mean? – DeAndre
It’s unsettling to dream about ourselves acting uncharacteristically, isn’t it? Truth be told, it can kind of freak us out. It reminds me of an e-mail I got from a vegetarian once. She literally threw up one morning because she awoke from a dream where she was eating a steak…. uncooked!
Your dream is a classic example of a “repression” dream. People who tend to “bite their tongue” a lot or “hold emotions in” are the ones who have these dreams the most.
More times than not the dreamer has recently had a situation in which he/she didn’t voice or express their feelings. Whether they were afraid of hurting someone’s feelings or afraid of rocking a boat, they swallowed their words.
In repression dreams, these words finally find their way out! What angers the dreamer, in the dream, may or may not have anything to do with what angered them in reality. Also, the people in the dream who “receive” your outburst aren’t necessarily the ones who angered you in real life, either. Only the dreamer will know for sure whether they’re innocent bystanders or not.
I hope your dreams will be far nicer right away, DeAndre – you seem like a super guy.
By the way, dreamers, I apologize for a recent issue you may have experienced with Dream Prophesy. It was totally out of my control, but everything’s peachy now. It was, excuse the pun, a bit of a nightmare. It’s all great now, though. ??
What Does My Dream About My Husband’s Boss Mean?!?!
Relax, the Interpretation isn’t What You Think
I recently had a dream submitted for analysis that was simple and straight-forward: Why did I have a “dirty” dream about my husband’s boss? I don’t find him even the least bit attractive!
Yikes!
Most of the time, dreams – and thereby the dream’s interpretation – can go one of several ways. The reason for this is the fact that our brains (the director of all of our dreams) are the most impossibly complex things in the world. Trying to understand how a brain works is almost impossible. It’s difficult enough when we’re trying to interpret or analyze our own dreams and our own minds – but when it comes to analyzing someone else’s…. it can seem like an overwhelming task.
All I try to do is lead the dreamer in the direction I think his or her dream is headed and explain to them what their particular type of dream usually means. Many times, as is the case with this particular type of dream, the analysis and dream meaning can be one of several things. When the dream has several possible meanings, I always give the dreamer each one and then they, in turn, interpret which one “fits” their particular situation.
When a dreamer has a dream such as the one our dreamer described as “dirty” about someone they are not attracted to – the dreamer is always delighted to know that the interpretation is not a sexual dream at all. I can almost hear the dreamer breathing a sigh of relief right now!
A dream about desire or sex simply points to something the dreamer wants or desires in her/his own life. Obviously what this something is can only be identified by the dreamer. I think the thing that most concerns this particular dreamer is the fact that the boss was involved. There’s one of two reasons for this, and neither one means she has a “thing” for him!
- What she desires or wants could be related to her husband’s job, and therefore related to the boss. She could want him to make more money, have more time at home, get a raise, etc.
- The boss and the husband’s job may have absolutely NOTHING to do with what the dreamer wants. It’s possible that the husband talked about the boss during the day of the dream and this, alone, gave him a starring role in her dream… disturbingly enough!
As I always try to tell people who have had troubling dreams – we often give them far too much weight. Very often we dream of someone or something simply because we recently spoke of or thought about them recently. The danger of paying too much attention to a disturbing dream is that we FURTHER think about them, inadvertently inviting them back into our “sleep time movies!”
In other words, make peace with a dream and put it behind you.
