Jack in the box 
Suprise
Sometimes things just pop up when we least expect them. 
Surprises or unexpected annoyances, wait and see.

Jackpot
(Lottery)

To hit the jackpot in your dream relates to rewards that you will receive, not always financial though because spiritual rewards can be shown this way. Any type of jackpot from lottery tickets, bingo or any gambling venture will be used as a symbol of the success you achieve by taking a chance, dream symbols are usually derived from what you are familiar with.
Getting what you asked for?
A small amount of effort brings a maximum return.

Jail
(Imprisoned/Prison)
A jailer represents a personality that restricts your freedom and growth.
You may be a victim of circumstance.
A loss of personal freedom.
Living by somebody else’s rules?


Jam
(Bottles/Jars/Food)
Preserve your energy because there are nice things in store for you.
Fruitfulness.
Could you be in a bit of a jam?

Jealousy
(Anger)
(Fear Dreams)
Emotions

An emotion that is felt in a dream usually stems from those feelings building up in your waking life, and you might need to work on understanding other people’s feelings about you in more detail. Attention is needed to get to the root of a problem.

Jesus
(Easter/Christmas)

Healing and forgiveness
Religious imagery connects us with our spirituality and sometimes Jesus turns up in a dream to show you that there are help and healing available for your progression.
Jesus always brings the highest help available.
Unconditional love and support.
Forgiveness.

Jewels/Jewelry
(Crystals/Diamonds/Quartz)

(Beads/Necklace/Gold/Silver)
Precious memories
Jewels will represent the things that you treasure and if you find jewels in your dream then good things will come to you with no effort on your part.
You will find someone to treasure in your life.
Someone will treasure you.
A little treasure!
Treasured memories.
Jewellery can help to explain the strength of attachments and memories that you have made with the people around you, especially linked type jewellery like chains, bracelets, and necklaces.
Broaches are similar in meaning to a badge of honour and are given or worn to celebrate and show respect for the honourable deeds that you have done, or for the good memories that you have helped to create.
Gold and silver also have a similar meaning in dreams and will symbolise something being worthwhile or someone worth their weight in gold. Gold or silver jewellery can also translate the longevity of attachments and memories, as well as the value of them.
Rings represent commitment in relationships and unions made from love. A circle is a symbol of the continued existence and eternal love.

Job
(Occupation/Work)

Spiritual work or career
Dreaming of your job or being at work in a dream can translate how your work life is progressing, if you are struggling to do a job or carry out a task in your dream it is because you feel that things are standing in your way or stopping you from making progress at work, this is an obstacle dream and helps you to see that there will always be obstacles in every job or career but its how you get over or through them that really counts, nothing worth having comes easily. 

Work is often the topic of many recurring dreams, I hear so many people say how they are always at work in their dreams, either their current job or an old job. When you keep returning to an old job that you had it is because you miss some aspects of it, maybe you were really happy there and haven't managed to find that job satisfaction again. Perhaps you had good friends and work colleagues there, and haven't been able to bond in the same way as you did in that job. Your subconscious likes to take you back to those times to remind you that work can be a chore, but it can also be a place where you enjoyed being part of a close team where you were all in the same boat together, striving to reach similar goals and overcoming problems. It's hard to recreate those times, I know, but you have learned that being part of a team with like-minded people brings great satisfaction. The feeling of belonging and supporting each other. This can be recaptured on the spiritual journey, the work that you do in a spiritual sense with like-minded people often brings back that feeling of belonging and purpose. You may not find these rewards in your job again but you can on your spiritual path. It is for the reason that returning to a job you loved is being highlighted. Work is work after all, and spiritual work can literally mean helping other people, it doesn't matter how!
Spiritual work is often replicated in a dream by doing work in the physical sense; this is about your own contribution to society and the effort you put into your own spiritual well-being.
Another reason that you are always at work in your dream is to highlight the fact that you are 'all work and no play' and you need to find a balance between the two.

Jogging
(Energy/Running)
Pace yourself
If you are normally a jogger in your waking life it won't be unusual for you to dream about jogging, however, someone who never jogs or runs can still get symbolism from this dream. A jogger chooses to run because they love it and love the feel-good factor that comes with being healthy and fit, and with setting yourself daily targets to reach. Jogging can represent goals that you have set yourself and how achievable they are for you. A non-runner might find jogging or running quite a challenge, whereas, a jogger will already be of the mindset about how to reach their goals. This type of dream is reminding you that to get where you want to be you will have to challenge yourself and use your personal energy to make strides.

You are running your own life.

(A ticket to ride?)
If you make any kind of journey in your dream then the dream is often showing you the next stage of your own journey through life, any obstacles that you come up against can be translated individually but they help to forewarn you of pitfalls, hurdles, brick walls, etc. Water obstacles describe the emotional obstacles in your way and their severity.
Journey dreams are a natural way for you to pre 'know' the next chapter of your life, if the journey in your dream is smooth and faultless you can think positively about your future because it should be a smooth ride and in the right direction.
If the journey you make is full of obstacles and obstructions then the next phase will not be quite so straight forward, incidentally, it is only when we are challenged that we make any real progress spiritually, this, unfortunately, is how progress works, all things in moderation brings real balance for the soul and accepting the difficult times are what help us appreciate the good times in our lives.
When you dream of getting from one place to another easily it is usually because you have experienced that road before and therefore find it easy to negotiate the obstacles that you come across, flying over obstacles is a way to show you that you have previous experience dealing with that type of problem so you will fly through it this time. 

It is when we come across new types of problems and have no previous experience to draw from that we dream of struggling to make progress on our journey.
How you travel in your dream can give you further information as to your progress in all different sections of your life and not just your spiritual progress, the mode of travel used can give you clues to the energy and power available for you to use, from your own stores and from the people around you that are willing to help.

Transport is used to transport you from one place to another and can be considered as a symbol for an external source of help, engines distribute energy and can represent your own energy or drive, or the added energy you get from other people. Negativity drains your energy and positivity propels it.
Transport meanings can be helpful with your translations as follows:
Airplane
(Airplane in A)
An aeroplane needs you to have faith and take-off into the unknown, putting you trust in someone else to help you reach the heights you wish to reach. An aeroplane lifts us up and exhilarates us while taking us on long exciting journeys and this can describe a project taking off, or you needing a goal to aim for, even if it seems so far out of reach. Much effort and energy are needed for you to reach the heights and distance that you want to attain, but the flight is possible for anyone who has the right attitude and motivation.
Any problems with the flight in a dream highlight the fact that there are obstacles that could get in the way of you reaching your overall destination or goal. Plane crashes create an easy way for you to understand how your dreams have come crashing down; you have lost faith in yourself or you have lost sight of your dreams.
Boats
(Boats in B)
The type of boat will be important in your translation so see individual entries as well, but boats help us on our passage through emotional journeys; the ride you take on a boat can give you clues about what you might expect from emotional attachments whilst on that journey. Boats provide protection from drowning in your feelings and so represent the overall support that is available to you from the people around you, sometimes the support comes from unknown quarters.

Remember that we are all in the same boat!
Bus
Travelling with other people reminds you that you are not alone on your current journey, and assistance will be there if you need it, but when we use transport that requires a fare to be paid it helps us to understand that we always end up paying for the help that we get in some other way. Trying to make progress in one area can draw the energy from another and leave it depleted, or if you give attention to one area of your life another area suffers neglect.
If you do not have the fare in your dream, then you must consider that things are not balanced (It's not fare) or maybe you do not have the means/energy to continue with the plans that you have made. If you must get off the bus before the stop that you want, then you may need to continue the next part of your journey alone or without assistance, because other people are on their own journey, and have chosen a different route. This type of dream happens when you do not have everything you need to continue on your chosen course, you are halfway there but not quite. The time isn’t right for where you wanted to go.

A double-decker bus can highlight the different level you are on to other people, not being on the same level means your journey together will be short. Being on the top deck can mean you look down on others or that you feel like people look down on you. 
Being higher up can explain when you have a better vantage point and can see further down the road, you can tell if the way you are heading has obstacles or not. Being higher, in this case, could represent when you are on a higher level spiritually so you can see the future.
Cars
The car can sometimes be used as a substitution for our body in dreams, so the condition of the car should be noted because if there is something wrong with it the dream might be referring to how your body is running, sometimes we need an MOT the same way as our cars do. Petrol can represent your energy stores and an empty tank literally means you have run out of energy to move forward, the progress you want to make isn’t equal to the time and energy you can give. Most people feel like they are running on empty at some point and this type of dream wants you to understand that there are times when you need to do nothing and enjoy some rest because it's equally important as making fast progress.
Tyres can also depict how tired or deflated you feel, and a vehicle’s brakes will describe your stopping ability, being able to stop something, especially if it isn't good for you, addictions are sometimes brought up in a dream in this way but so too is any situation that is out of control. The steering wheel dictates how we steer ourselves past obstacles or control the direction our lives are taking, and it also links with our ability to control situations, people or events.
Not having the correct paperwork to drive a car in a dream or driving a car without a license or insurance etc. helps you to acknowledge that the progress you are making is detrimental and will lead to complications, perhaps you feel guilty about trying to do something that your not qualified for. You have not got what it takes at the moment to make the progress you want!
Train
Trains have a similar translation to a bus, but they are more connected to a fixed route or destination. Trains are mostly used to express the idea that some journeys and events are predestined or pre-ordained and that there is nothing you can do to change events that have been set in motion. Train tracks symbolise the tracks that were laid down to ensure that you meet important people, reach important milestones or fulfil certain tasks, to benefit your own or other people's spiritual progression. They can also help you understand when you have come off track or deviated from your plans. It can also explain how your life has de-railed or you have gone off the rails.
Trains stop at stations and this creates a chance for you to get off and change direction, but these 'chances' only arrive at certain times in your life, sometimes these ‘chances’ do not come along often and this is when trains are more appropriate as a symbol in your personal journey dream. 

Being stuck at a station offers you information about feeling stuck on your journey and not being able to move on or progress. You are not ready for the next phase as you have more work to do where you are now.
Going past the station that you wanted helps you understand missed opportunities. Stations are also important because it is here that we meet people who will be important in the next stage of our journey. Stations act as signposts to the future, they remind us that we are merely passing through a stage and that change can be just around the corner. Train stations also provide a symbol to explain the people who turn up in our lives sporadically, they are not in it the whole time but are no less important than those who are. We often have a deep connection and recognise the person immediately, spiritual guides or people that we have loved in the past are perceived this way. The station represents a meeting point or a cross-line which can be accessed by people from different places in the universe or in a different level of existence.
The carriages of a train can represent the different sections of your life and how they all fit together to create the overall experience. They also help you to understand the people who you share a particular experience with, or who you share a part of your journey with, these people are important to you for different reasons, they might share a common goal or they are central to your own overall plan. It is not uncommon to share a carriage with people who you don’t know, but this explains how your own life is affected and designed by the influence of people who are in the background or who you haven’t actually met, and yes this can also mean people who are in the spirit world.
Electric trains provide the motivation and energy needed to for you to move forward and excel very quickly, especially if you are trying to fulfil a life plan or do something important to your destiny, whereas an old steam train would have been used in the past and might link with a past journey or experience you had. 

Trains which are open-topped or become that way during the journey relay that the dreamer is 'open' spiritually, they are connected to their higher self, their life is transparent, meaning that they don't hide their life's journey away from people rather they share it with others to help them on their journey. This links very strongly with the spiritual journey.
Trucks
Trucks provide a similar translation to cars but the emphasis is on the access baggage and responsibilities that you carry along with you. The precious cargo can be used to describe your loved ones and how you feel as though you need twice the strength to transport everyone through a difficult phase or a particular patch of life. Sometimes we use a truck when a car would suffice, meaning that you use heavy force when a gentler form of getting what or where you want might be more appropriate.

Are you are carrying everyone else’s baggage?

The Destination of Your Journey 

You may or may not know the destination in your dream, sometimes when we are unaware of an actual destination it is because we do not set ourselves goals and just go wherever life takes us. If you know the destination but can't get there in your dream it is because you are not ready or not finished with the current journey you are on.
The Destination of your journey holds important symbolic information which you should always consider when you have a journey type dream, because reaching a destination helps you to understand when you have fulfilled part of your own destiny, or you have experienced what you needed to become an enlightened and experienced individual. You have reached a milestone if you like, a time when you can leave the past behind and make new choices and choose new routes to take.

When you are unaware of the destination in your journey dream it is because you are not quite there yet and have a way to go to finish the experience you are having, the time it takes to reach a destination is an unknown equation because everyone takes as long as they take, one person can learn something very quickly and another will keep making the same choices that lead them down the same road over and over again. Trains and buses especially help relay this message, they run on a cyclical route; life moves in cycles and it is difficult to notice the progress that you have made especially when you keep going over old ground. Rest assured that the cycle you perceive is, in fact, a spiral.
The other problem with destinations is that they can change,  a person’s free will always dictate the route that they choose. The ultimate destination will always be the same for everyone and all that really matters is that you ‘took part’ in the experience; learning is learning no matter what route you chose.

Judge
A judge could express the fact that you feel as if you are being judged, treated unfairly, or dictated to. 
Spiritually judging your own actions or thoughts.
The search for justification.

Never judge others unless you're a saint!

Judo
The need to overcome opposition or adversity.
Fighting for a cause?


Jug
Translate the contents of the jug to help you with the translation but a jug can be used to symbolise available resources. An empty jug symbolises a lack of resources and a full jug represents ample opportunities to provide for your needs.

Jump
Jumping off something could symbolise taking a leap of faith. Jumping off a cliff or diving board, for example, explains how you might just have to jump right in and see what happens.
Do you have to jump when someone else tells you to? 
Jumping from transport describes how you are trying to change your present course of action even though the time isn’t right to do so. You may or may not know the outcome in the dream as to what happened after you jumped; if you don't then its because the outcome is not known, how you land is up to you to decide.


Junk
(Rubbish)
(Broom/Dirt/Dust/Washing)
(Messy House Dream)

Rubbish and junk merely represent all the things that you have failed to deal with, the things that you have stored away in the back of your mind to deal with on another day, the state of things around you now are because you haven’t dealt with previous issues when they arose. 
Is someone talking rubbish?

Jury
Feeling judged by your peers?
Other people seem to be dictating your fate.
