A dream about losing my fingernails

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

It starts when I find myself in an enormous bed and I am laying on my side facing the wall.  Laying behind me is a muscular and very tall man with very long blonde hair, the length is to his waist and it is gathered or tied at the back of his head. He is like a Viking warrior. He is about 40+ and has distinct facial folds and is smiling. (We do not touch or talk to each other)

The man’s mother is walking back and forth at the end of the bed frantically and eventually, she goes out the door. Then my fingernails break off, I gather them up in one hand but they fall back onto the bedclothes, I then gather them up again in one hand. Then the alarm goes off. I wake up and my first reaction is to open my hand to find it empty, and my fingernails are all ok.

Broken fingernails have been a part of my dreams a lot lately.

Let’s take a look at the symbolism to start us off and see where that takes us.

Beds relate to our peace and tranquility, our comfort at the end of the day when our work is done, they also relate to our personal space, and where we spend time with a partner. An enormous bed is a symbol that helps you to understand that you have plenty of room in your life to share this part of yourself with someone else, sharing your personal space and being at peace with who you are. 

Facing the brick wall is another way of saying that “it’s like talking to a brick wall.” Perhaps someone is trying to help you feel comfortable with yourself but you are not really listening, after all, it’s how you feel about yourself that really matters. Walls are also symbolic of obstacles and what stands in your way, how high the wall is and if you attempt to get over it can help you understand if the obstacles are impassable at the moment. 

The muscular tall man is a symbol of the male or men in general, his long blond hair and Viking warrior appeal which is a symbol to help you understand masculine vitality, but he is around 40 you notice, so perhaps the message is that sex appeal is in the eye of the beholder and that you should not confuse age with attraction, you are perhaps feeling as though you are losing your own power of attraction, losing your nails is a perfect way to portray this notion, losing your feminine charms or attractiveness. Actually, it is just life and its demands that are draining you of energy, nothing much to do with age. 

Nails and hair symbolise our inner strength, they grow throughout our lives and so are a renewable source, meaning that sometimes we don’t feel that we have the strength to deal with something,  but your strength will return with relaxation and rejuvenation, which beds also symbolise.

Gathering up your nails is you trying to gather up your strength and durability, you want to be everything to everyone but actually, this is leaving you feeling exhausted.

The symbolism in the Viking warrior’s mother pacing up and down in your bedroom reminds you that the bedroom is no place for mothers to be, sometimes mothers add to our workload and looking after them as well as everyone else drains you emotionally, therefore I think a mother figure is coming between you and your love life.

The characters in your dream stand as a representation of the characters in your life, the partner full of energy and vitality regardless of his age, the mother figure impending on your personal space, they are all leaving you feeling a bit drained and lacking vitality. You are as hard as nails though and your energy will return as soon as you can tell other people that you need some you time.

A dream about being in a tall building and trying to escape a Tsunami

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

I was in a tall building somewhere in London, I knew there was going to be a tsunami. I went through the building trying to find a way out but every exit led somewhere else and then when I did find windows they were all double glazed so I still could not get out. I could see the sea getting higher and closer, I eventually found some people but I felt they were after me for being in the building. At last I found my way out, but the sea was coming in great big waves each wave getting bigger and bigger until it just enveloped me. I had to wake myself up.

A tsunami nearly always represents emotions that are overwhelming and are fast in their approach, this might represent a time when you have no way of escaping events that are driven by powerful emotions. These emotional outbursts can be destructive and leave a mess to clear up after. These types of dreams can show you how emotions that are not released regularly will build up and overspill all in one go. 

To much water simply equates to to many emotional issues to deal with, this usually causes an over-spill. 

The tall building can help to explain a few different things, maybe you always felt that you are above your emotions and that you are in control of them? You are aware now though that you are not, and they are quickly taking over. Being unable to escape the building is a simple way to explain being unable to escape your own predicament and not being in control of the outcome. 

The doubled glazed windows are a representation of how you see things, you are steadfast in your beliefs and see things in your own way, but this insight cannot protect you from yourself and stop you from feeling overwhelmed. They say that windows are the eyes of the soul and in dream language they are often used to express how you see things in a spiritual sense, your double glazed windows can represent the protection you have against the world outside, it can be protective as I said but it can also stop other people from getting in and helping you. The people in your dream also back up this idea, you say that you felt they were after you just for being there. 

The people in your life dictate the strength of your personal security and in dreams when your security is under attack by any means it can describe an unstable and precarious time for you. 

Buildings in your dream can be used to get over to you how you feel about your own security and how stable things really are. So remember that this type of dream isn't always predictive but rather expressing your own feeling regards your security.  Building are useful to express how your life is structured now or how it was structured in the past, they can also be used to represent the future and show you when deterioration or improvements are needed now in order to maintain financial security, or family security.  

Structures are used as a symbol for protection from outside influences, but they cannot protect you from yourself. Perhaps you feel that people expect you to be strong and in control all the time because they need you to be that way, but you find it difficult to be that person all of the time. 

In your dream you feel that the people are after you because you are not in the right place, you are not in the right place in your mind or emotionally speaking. 
There are times in our lives when other people can't help us feel better, you have to go through things on your own, it is your own learning and experience. Being enveloped by the sea is symbolic of being overcome by mixed and confusing emotions. All I can do to reassure you is say that you will not drown, you will swim like crazy as you always have until your feet are firmly on solid emotional ground.

Dreaming about travelling to a country that you have never been to

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

I was traveling to a small island in Greece (I’ve never been to Greece). I was going there because my grandfather or great grandfather had been killed trying to protect that island and had been honored with a post mortem royalty title (I’m not aware of any Greek relative in my family). I wanted to find out if I could get any kind of benefit for being his relative, but apparently not. I visited his house. The rest of the dream was about a rivalry between 2 gangs on the island and I feared for my life. I felt safe once I left it. Do you think it could be a past life dream?

My first thoughts about this dream are to remind you that quite often our dreams relay messages of duo meaning, overlapping information which comes from the past but is also appropriate for the now or the future. Family members who have passed to the spirit world can convey experiences they have had in their own lives through our dreams, grandparents are legendary at telling their grandchildren stories of moral dilemma and they can still do this from their current vantage point in spirit. Your dream could, of course, be a past life dream and its purpose is to remind you that you have to earn your own entitlement, family ties and wishing things were different are not enough for you to succeed, you have to build up your own allies and strong links for a project to be a success.

The symbolism in the dream might help you to unravel this mystery. 
Traveling to a country where you have never been before or have no links with represents starting out on a journey that is new and uncharted, you haven’t been through this before and you haven’t got the contacts and support you need in order to feel secure, therefore you have to be more prepared and gather more information. Your reason for going down this road not traveled before is one of virtue, you wish to protect someone or something, maybe keep a family together or keep the family values alive.

You visited your grandfather’s house in your dream and that is the same as him saying “take a look at my life and use the knowledge to be wiser and worldlier.”
The rivalry might represent family rivalry and opposition which you understandably would rather not deal with or be a part of. Two sides battling with each other is an easy enough symbol to translate.

If this dream is based on your relative’s life or if it is a reflection of your own past life it doesn't really matter, the reason for reviewing it now is to help you understand your own journey,  to help you build up your own resources and enable you to deal with whatever you have going on in your life.

Sometimes, dreams are taken from a 'life experience bank' or in other words spirit uses the 'experience bank' and shows you somebody else's life experiences if the information is important for you or can help you.

A dream about going through a door and an old school friend

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

In my dream I am with a school friend (A girl) who I have not seen since we were 6 to 10 years of age at school,  in the dream, she has on a pink dress and blonde hair and she is a mature woman. Someone told us that we need to go through a door, but the door leads only to a great chasm, I said to my friend that we will not go through that door, but we should go in the other direction, but another person, (unrecognised) is gesturing us both to go through the door, as if the person wants us dead. We do not go through the door. I wake up in a sweat and I have been nervous for the last two days.

Doors often represent different opportunities or choices that are available to you, and a chasm represents a great divide or void, it helps you recognize when a choice you make can lead you nowhere, and feeling as though that choice or opportunity will lead to certain death is just another way of acknowledging that this direction will lead to a dead-end. Dream symbols often use puns to get a message over. So this dream is translating the message of a dead-end opportunity, the dream is not relaying the message that you will die if you make the wrong choice, so calm those nerves.  

Dreams are often misinterpreted and taken literally, and people do get nervous when dream imagery is clear, easily remembered or uses death imagery, but often this is done so that you don't make the wrong choice and also when you are not listening to your own instincts. 

The first part of the dream where you have met up with an old friend from school wants you to recognize how you have matured and grown-up, you need to look back and see how far you have come, the chasm or abyss can also link with the great divide between who you were then and who you are now. You were a small child at school and now you are a mature woman, your own life learning (because you have mentioned school) has developed and grown from all the life experiences you have had so far. In your dream your instincts tell you not to go through that door, you know it will be a dead end. Even if someone else tells you to go through it, you are not that silly now you are experienced. (wiser). 

The act of going through something in a dream, like going through a door represents the experiences you yourself go through, in a way you are saying I am not going through all that again. 'I'v been there and done that before and my wisdom tells me I'm not going to do it all again'. 

What section of your life this dream is referring I cannot say, quite possibly it will link with work, career, friendships or relationships with colleagues because the dream has used the symbol of a school friend. I do not feel it links with intimate relationships as other imagery could have represented those situations better. School can be used to symbolise working relationships, people who you would share the academic or career-type journey. A school is a place where we work alongside people who we share our learning with, so it could also represent people who you share a spiritual learning journey with. Maybe an avenue of spiritual learning is a dead end for you, you have progressed passed what it can offer you. 

Another symbol you have mentioned is that your friend was dressed in pink, this is a nice symbol, when someone is 'in the pink' it means they are happy and doing well. Pink is a friendship color. Being tickled pink means that you are really happy about something. 

Friendships are far more important than we sometimes realise, we can know someone for a relatively short period of time but they can have a great impact on us.
Sometimes, friends, we haven't seen for a very long time pop into our dreams to say hello or offer support, just like they would have when you were friends years ago. 

I once had a dream about someone I hadn't seen for years, and in the dream, I was really pleased to see them and we just said 'Hi' and she told me how she was doing. We had no chance of meeting in real life as she had moved to the other side of the world, but in dreams, distance is no obstacle. 

Therefore, I conclude that your dream was a reminder to remember how far you have come, don't waste your time on dead-end opportunities that will lead you nowhere. Use your own instincts to guide you in another direction which will bring positive opportunities your way. And it doesn't matter if you haven't seen someone for years and years, on a spiritual level you can still support them and help them on their journey. 
You and your friend have probably shared a similar life journey.

Dreams about teeth and spitting out plastic

Everything about teeth dreams

I had a dream last night where my tooth at the bottom was really uncomfortable, it was sticking up from the rest of my teeth and annoying me. I kept trying to push it back down so it was more comfortable but it ended up coming out in my hand.

I was really upset by this and I knew I couldn't go to the dentist with it as I didn't have any money to pay them. So I got a mirror and tried and tried to push the tooth back into the gaping hole. No matter what I tried I could not get the tooth back into my gum. Then a woman called me from over the back fence and she asked me how I was. I told her I liked the school that she worked in and wished that I worked there too. I then went back to trying to reinsert my tooth to no avail.

In your dream your current situation is uncomfortable for you and the only way to bring an end to this situation is to remove the tooth or in other words remove the source of pain. This will leave a hole in your life and no matter how hard you try to put things back to the way they were you will not be able to.

Not having the money to pay the dentist is another way of defining your restrictions.

I have a feeling that all this will link with your work, as in your dream you were interrupted by someone whose job and school you admired, you expressed the wish that you would like to work there. Which tells me it is in this area that you require change for fulfillment. You need change as you are not happy where you are, but are concerned that an alternative might not be any better. Is it better to put up with the discomfort you are feeling or let go of it altogether? 

Spitting out teeth and lots of plastic

I have had the losing teeth dream a few times in my life but in last night’s dream I was losing bits of my teeth, I think two came out in the end, but then I started pulling out shards of plastic as well, the plastic pieces were quite big, I could feel them in my mouth and they just kept coming and coming, it seemed to go on for ages. In one part of the dream I was pulling out what looked like a strip of tickets or god knows what it was, something linked up anyway.

What on earth is this about? 

In your dream you lose two teeth so you are getting rid of or letting go of two different things that have been linked for a fairly long time, this could be a relationship linked with a job or anything that links two sections of your life. When the rot has set in you have to let two things go. 

Spitting out plastic shards could be symbolic for all the broken pieces left behind after accepting the end of a time in your life. Being plastic can mean being fake or not being real, and this can represent how you have had to fake it for so long it has led to a breakup. This dream is about getting rid of all those negative feelings, and in doing so getting rid of the reasons that you feel like you couldn't be honest. It might take some time but slowly you will get it all out, remember that the mouth is our source of communication and therefore communication is key. Be truthful and stop pretending that everything is ok and then you can begin to heal.

The string of tickets might also be symbolic for a string of events or the one thing leads to another scenario, in other words, one problem leads to another one, etc. Keeping one problem inside meant you had to keep another one inside as well, therefore if you pull out one problem you will end up pulling them all out. Sounds like what counselors do, reach inside and pull out all the crap, one after the other, and the crap is nearly always linked up.

I had a dream that I was in the trailer with my mother-in-law, my husband's nephew, his daughter and a bunch of high school friends. My sister was also there.     

My front bottom teeth started falling out and I started spitting out plastic but new teeth were coming in. My mother-in-law said  "Oh I forget to tell you we are going to church!" I didn't answer her. 

They all left, and I walked outside and stepped into a muddy hole that opened up and swallowed me, it was very deep and dark. 

The next thing I know I'm standing at the end of the trailer, the trailer had cinder blocks surrounding it and was very sturdy but I don't know how I got out of the hole. 

Next I saw squirrels, one was playing with a small stick with 3 leaves on it but it was in the road and I was afraid it would get hit by a car. Then I got a feeling that someone was calling me from the woods across the street, the feeling was of love and I wanted to go but just stood there wishing I could go back. 

(See Squirrels in Animals)

Top teeth are often used to describe the things that are very important to us, like the things we love, people for example, and things that take the top positions in our life, our top priorities if you like. Whereas, bottom teeth symbolise things that are not quite as important and although they can leave a gap in your life they will not be missed quite so much. 

Perhaps there are some people who you want to let go of, people who make you uncomfortable and if they were to decrease the amount of time they spend with you it wouldn't be a bad thing. All the different people in the trailer at the beginning of the dream end up leaving, and this could be hinting that some of these people will gradually edge out of your life, like when you leave high school and lose touch with friends. 

Losing teeth usually describes loss of some kind, not necessarily someone dying but things like the loss of a friendship or even your own loss of interest in some people. Maybe you feel like you have outgrown some relationships or you have grown up and they haven't really progressed into adulthood. 

Spitting out plastic is experienced when you are trying to get rid of anything fake, like fake friends or relationships that don't seem to be working.

Remember, that in dream language the mouth is linked with communication so there are also issues in this area, do you feel like you are not being heard and that your opinion doesn't matter to the people around you? 

The new teeth coming through help to remind you that when you let go of something bad there will be something new to replace it so don't worry. 

It's not clear why your MIL mentions they are going to church, I wonder if their idea of god and religion is different to yours? I suspect you have a more spiritual outlook and that this might clash with their religious understandings. Being spiritually minded has nothing to do with attendance at church, its more about being kind to each other and helping each other than just showing up at church and getting a tick on the attendance register. 

Your dream seems to be drawing attention to the fact that you have your own way of thinking and that you are not on the same wavelength with some of the people around you. 

Your sister might have been in your dream as a symbol of support. 

The muddy hole that you fall in which seems to swallow you up, this literally describes that feeling of being in a dark place, water describes emotions and muddy water symbilses confusion, when you can't get your thoughts into order, so you might feel like you can't get yourself out of the depression you are in. This always happens when your life changes. You have to wait to find peace again. You will find balance and it will happen naturally, like in your dream when you find yourself back on track noticing how sturdy the trailer and cinder blocks are. 

These symbols explain how your life will become secure and safe, when you get yourself out of that hole of course. The cinder blocks symbolise warmth and security and this is what you are aiming for. 

The squirrels represent saving for the future and this will deffo link with your own security,  they also help you to recognise your own affinity with nature and animals. Perhaps you would be happy and content working with animals and I wonder if you prefer animals to humans? we all do sometimes. Worrying about the squirrel getting run over helps you to understand how helpless animals are and you seem to be feeling the same way, a little helpless and in fear of what might happen in your life right now. 

You can't go back and you know this, you have to go forward and honestly I think you need to make a decision about what direction you are going in. You are in control of what you want to do with your life and who you want to be in your life. If you are not happy then make changes without fear. Letting go of things that make you unhappy might mean you end up feeling lost and like you have fallen in a muddy hole but those feelings will pass and you'll start again fresh as a daisy. 

I don't know if this dream links with your work or your home life honestly, I can't say but I do know that your dream is hinting that you should be working with animals and that you will find real rewards and love from doing so. 

The three leaves on the stick might be about three different choices.
