Dream Symbols: P

A B D E F G J K L M O P R U V X Y Z




Packing 

Journey Dream
(Luggage)
If you are packing a suitcase in a dream you could be packing up your troubles, perhaps wanting to leave a situation behind and start again. 
Starting the next phase of your life. 
Travelling?
Leaving?

Padlock
(Key/Lock)

Opportunities that are open or closed
A padlock would be used as a symbol for anything which is not available to you right now, or the things that you keep locked away from the world. 

Maybe you need security.

Painting 

Creative Dream
(Art/Decorating/Patterns below)
Painting a picture in a dream is a way to help you understand that you should explain your inner-self to the outside world so that they have a clear picture of who you really are, it also paints a picture of how you feel. You need to be able to show off your skills and talents. 

If you are decorating with paint then there is a need to spruce up and spring clean your home life. Think about the colours and translate those as well.
A clean slate!
Expressing yourself creatively.
Paint a clear picture of who you really are.
Share your inner beauty. 


Pair 

Relationships
A pair could represent how two people belong together.
Two similar situations?

Two similar experiences?

Pain
(Pain Dreams in Nightmares)

Pantomime 

Personalities and characters
(Opera/Theatre)
If you are watching any kind of show in a dream, then the show itself might correspond with a situation that is dominating your thoughts. Sometimes our lives play out like a pantomime, we keep our real selves hidden behind the character we create for the world, or we become characters who are defined by what other people want from us. Use the theme of the pantomime to help you with the correct translation.

Parachute
(Falling/Journey)
A parachute has an obvious translation, as an aid to ease you down gently when you fall from a great height, but if there is a problem with the parachute in your dream then perhaps you feel that you are doing all the hard work alone and no one supports you. There are problems with the usual methods of protection or up-holding support.

Are you putting your faith into something that might not be worthy?

Paradise
(Heaven)
Your personal paradise is available to you if you dream about somewhere that resembles paradise. This type of dream is also bringing awareness of your spiritual self and the reasons why you are on the present journey.
Find something to aim for.
Idyllic circumstances.


Paralysed
(Nightmares) (Sleep Paralysis)
If you are paralysed in a dream this can represent how you are unable to do the things that you want to do, because circumstances outside of your control take over and hinder your movement and progress. It describes being stuck, and inertia, you feel like you can't move forward. Think about what or who is standing in your way to help your understanding.

Park

Obstacle Dream 
(Fairground, Fields)
A children’s play park with swings, slides and climbing frames will usually link with the obstacles that you need to negotiate or overcome, swings describe the backward and forwards repeated pattern of behaviour, as does a slide but with more emphasis on the up and down of your moods. Climbing frames represent minor obstacles that you need to overcome. 
Because parks are children’s play areas the obstacles that are being highlighted probably stem from the fact that you repeat certain behaviour, perhaps you need to be more mature in your approach to dealing with problems when they arise. The childish side of your personality is being brought to the fore and there needs to be a balance between fun and accepting maturity.
Park fields symbolise the need to escape from the usual routine and widen the horizons; the green fields suggest openness, freedom of expression and the need to decide if the grass is greener elsewhere.

Parliament 

Control Dream
Perhaps it seems as if someone else is making the rules in your life, telling you what you can and cannot do. These types of dreams can be about spiritual fairness and judgment. 

Debates about the best thing to do for everybody.

Parrot

Personalities and characters
(Animals/Birds)
This bird can denote someone who gossips or someone who is repeating themselves over and over to get their message across.

Party
(Celebration)
There is usually something to celebrate if you dream of going to a party. A birthday party will present a personal milestone that you have reached, celebrating all the hard work that you have put into getting where you are today. If nobody comes to the party this is because it is a personal challenge that you have overcome and its a private celebration. We shut people out at important times in our life because we have to go it alone for a while.

Passport 

Journey Dream
(Holiday)
Trying to show that you belong or should be accepted.
Your passport to success.
Travel?

Path
(Journey/Road)
A path will represent the directions that are available to you and where they can lead you too. Translate other symbols on the path you are shown in your dream. What is on your spiritual pathway can be shown to you this way as well as your current earthly journey.

Patterns
(Energy)
Repeating patterns show how you make the same mistakes repeatedly or are caught in a cycle of repetitiveness. Patterns link with your plans and the overall design of your life and the intricate pattern your energy and vibration is making towards the experience.

Peacock 

Personalities and characters
(Animals)
Someone who wants to be noticed.
A show-off!

Pelican 

Personalities and characters
(Animals)
In dream language, this bird might be symbolic for someone with a very large beak (A big mouth)


Pen
(Ink/Writing)
You need to communicate what you have learned, either professionally or spiritually. Passing on communication which is valuable to others. 
A writer. 

People in Dreams
(Family)
(The ex-husband dream)
Personalities and characters
Often, we dream about people that we know either intimately or otherwise because they play an important part in our life. Occasionally we dream of people whom we do not know, but they can be used to describe an aspect of our own personality that is appropriate, like a nurse, doctor, teacher, priest, etc. These composite characters are easy enough to translate in dream interpretation and have been added to the A-Z Dictionary. The character or persona that is being translated links easily with the kind of help you need, and also to explain different personalities.
Authority Figures
Professionals or authority figures are used in dream language when you need expert help to ensure that any issue is dealt with correctly. They also symbolise the father type character or someone who you respect and listen to. In contrast to this, this type of character is also used to represent someone who you feel is controlling your life.
Fairies and Fairy Godmothers
These characters often link with the classic type of person whom we wish into being. On waking you understand this type of character doesn’t exist in real life and you actually have to create the magic yourself. If you 'create' then all things are possible, nothing is closed to you and sometimes you will dream of characters that can provide anything you want because you wish to obtain your desires without the hard work involved.

Family
Dreaming of people who you have the most contact with provides the most common dream scenario; you are connected so closely with them that they too dream of you regularly. The events that families share help to create bonds that make them a stronger unit.
There are symbolic meanings attached to the roles that family members play in your dreams as well as the role that they play in your life:
Mother
The mother earth and creator of all, she keeps you in check and helps when it is needed. Sometimes mothers teach us things we do not always want to learn, maybe the need for independence and self-learning. Symbolically she is the creator.
Father
Protection and wisdom.
Time to grow up.
Brother
Someone to fight your corner in times of need.
Brotherhood.
Sister
Sharing similar lives.
Sisterhood.
Grandmother
She brings love in the purest form without the need to chastise or judge.
Grandfather
The head of the family who oversees its success and spiritual learning.
Daughter/Granddaughter/Son/Grandson
To dream of your children shows that you can guide and help them on their own personal journey through life, translate other features of the dream to help you understand in what way this help needs to be given. They also bring us help and support in ways we do not always understand, they teach us as much as we teach them. Individuals who need your guidance and protection to flourish.
Children
The childish parts of your own nature can be shown through unknown children in dreams. They can be used to represent parts of your own personality.
Get to know your own inner child again.
Husband/Wife/Partner
The relationship between partners can be explored in dreams and any issues worked through so that the relationship is better understood, any problems can be thought through logically on waking. The higher self-coupled with your own subconscious mind can work through issues in the dream state that you do not dare to do when you are awake. Growth and understanding in relationships are reliant upon the truth of a situation, you have to deal with issues to truly understand each other for better or worse. You usually dream of a partner if there is something you need to accept or understand about them.
Firemen
Take the heat out of a situation or damper down fuelling emotions?

He is seen as the rescuer!
Healers
To dream of characters that heal like doctors or nurses will help you to understand and accept that healing needs to take place, either physically, mentally or spiritually.
Policeman
A policeman could have a dual meaning either to assist you with problems that require proper handling or to lay down the law if you or someone else is not acting responsibly.
Religious Characters
Religious characters usually link with your own spiritual well-being and the spiritual level that you have reached in the physical world. They appear in dreams to guide and protect you on your journey through life; they bring healing and a new direction, they assist you in a time of need. Religious figures nearly always link you with your spiritual learning and can help you to evaluate your spiritual beliefs.
Superheros
To dream of a superhero of any type will be because you either need to play the hero for someone else or you need a superhero to rescue you. Consider the skills or super talents of the superhero you dream of because this might be symbolic of the character you need to become or who you need to help you.
Teachers
Teachers from the past often turn up in our dreams because they provide an easily understood symbol of people who can teach us important lessons. They can be used to symbolise spiritual teachers, guides and helpers that assist you with your experiences.
Dead People
Dreaming of people who have passed usually happens because you need comfort from them, they bring support in times of need, especially when it can’t be found from the people around you. They may also bring you a message of some kind, possibly to try and let you know that they are still in existence, this would be especially true if they have not been in the spirit world for very long. It is commonplace that relatives return in dreams to let loved ones know that they are fine.

Perfume
(Smells)
The sweet things in life can be expressed in dreams through nice smells. Spirit communication is sometimes experienced this way and they send a message of peace and remembrance.
Heaven scent.
Pleasurable encounters.
The sweet smell of success.
Someone who is breath of fresh air.

Perspiration
Sweat and hard work are needed for success.
Aggravations can get you worked up and cause a sweat.

Petrol
(Car/Energy/Engine/Journey)

(Machinery)
Journey Dream
In dreams, petrol represents an energy source that is capable of positive or negative use therefore how it is used in your dream should help you with the correct translation, if it is used to start fires or used recklessly then it will have a negative translation because someone’s energy has become harmful and could ignite into something more dangerous.
If you run out of petrol in a dream this symbolises how you have run out of energy and are unable to go any further with your current course of action. Putting petrol in a car shows how you have regained your energy levels so you can now make faster progress.

Pets
(Animals)
Dreaming of pets that you have had in the past helps you to understand that they are thankful for the unconditional love and adoration that was given to them while they were with you; it is quite common for pets that have died to come back and thank their caregiver for looking after them. They help you to understand the unconditional care and devotion that was given to them has ensured that both they and you have learned vital spiritual lessons. Pets are reliant upon us for their care and so can describe the need to take care of others when they cannot take care of themselves.

Photographs
(Camera/Picture below)

(Photograph and Camera Dream)
Photographs help you to remember a certain time in your life, they store important information which needs to be remembered and they also help you to remember people who have a place in your past.
Capturing meaningful moments in the album of life.
Remember!


Piano
(Music/Organ/Vibration)
The black and white keys of a piano symbolise the positive and the negative vibrations we encounter or create. Any issues with a piano in your dream will link with problems relating to your ability to stay balanced.
The music of life as heard in the heavens.
A spiritually balanced vibration.

Picture
(Photograph above)

(Photograph and Camera Dream)
To see any kind of picture in a dream is a way to show you a snapshot of a specific time of importance, you may be seeing a future scenario or outcome; it could be a remnant from the past that is somehow important to you now. The picture you see in a dream could also be a symbol of the picture that is being painted for you by someone else, it doesn’t necessarily portray a true picture, of course, it is merely a creation of their own imagination. If you don't see all of the picture in your dream it is letting you know that you are literally not seeing the whole picture.


Pier
(Water)
A pier can be viewed as a dead-end path/road as it doesn't lead anywhere, so it can represent a path you have chosen. Although it can also represent an offer of support when emotions are running high and when moods are low. A place to reflect your own emotional standpoint.

Pigeon
(Birds in Animals)
Messages or news from afar.
Freedom to roam and explore, pigeons nearly always return home though.

Pill
(Drugs/Medicine)
A pill can represent the help you have available for a problem that you cannot solve on your own. Something is difficult to take in, but acceptance must be found.
A hard pill to swallow.

Pillow
Comfort in distress.
Rest is needed.

Pilot

Journey Dream
A pilot is symbolic of someone responsible for the destination or the outcome of your current adventure. The power of your dreams in someone else's hands.

Pins
(Acupuncture/Needles)
Pins are useful but difficult to handle and might represent a similar scenario that you have to deal with, they can hold things together temporarily but eventually, you will need to put more effort into creating a longer-lasting and more secure foundation. If you prick yourself on a pin then this will represent the minor pain that is caused by someone’s attempts to annoy you. 

Underpinning security?

Pipes and Tubes
(Hosepipe/Plumbing) 

(Machinery)
Claustrophobic dreams
Emotions
Pipes can sometimes be used in dreams to explain your inner workings as in the fallopian tubes, urinary tubes, veins, and arteries, and any problems in pipes and tubes in your dream can highlight physical issues so you can make changes to prevent future problems. 

Being stuck in a pipe relates to how you can't seem to get through emotional blockages, you feel stuck and lack freedom and you do not feel in control of your surroundings. You have to learn that you must take back control of your life to escape a situation and get a release from it. 
Plumbing can describe your internal plumbing like I said but also the flow of your emotions. Drain pipes would symbolise getting rid of emotional negativity, think about what building it's connected to, as this will help you connect the dots regards the section of your life it relates to. 
Climbing a drain pipe translates your attempts at trying to overcome or rise above issues. It may be a symbol of escape, and show the difficulties you encounter getting out of a situation. Drains and water pipes can denote something that drains you emotionally. Seeing sewage symbolises having to deal with a pile of crap. 

Pirate

(Boats/Ships)
Personalities and characters
A pirate literally represents someone who steals your emotional energy and drains you of resources.

Pivot
Repetition, control, and balance will bring you all-round success. A pivotal key moment that ensures success or failure.

Round and round the same old thing?

Plague
The plague will usually symbolise anything that is plaguing you.
Bewildering and confusing.

Planets
(Stars)
The earth can represent your own little world; therefore, other planets can explain other people's private worlds that you do not seem to have access to. If there are aliens in your dream, then you are recognising your own lack of understanding of the people in your life. Visiting another planet in a dream is a way for you to be open to new things and learn about subjects you do not understand.
A venture into the unknown?
The beauty of life as a whole and the completed journey.
Unusual living conditions.

The mother earth!

Plank
(Wood)
Walking the plank is to pay for previous misdeeds.
Deadwood describes a lack of energy and growth.
Stupidity?

Ignorance? 
Being a plank?

Plants
(Garden/Flowers) 

Spiritual dream
Plants represent the things that you nurture and tend, both within yourself and in other people. Big strong plants show you that much effort has been put into the process of development, and it will prove worthwhile. Plants will symbolise 'anything' that needs to grow, develop and bloom. Children need nurture and care to bloom!


Plates 
(China)
Broken china can symbolise how easily promises can be broken. But another translation is that you could have too much on your plate to deal with now. Plate spinning is a typical symbol for having to manage and uphold too many responsibilities. Beautiful china would help to explain that the effort you have put into creating a loving home life will be rewarded by the people that you nurture and care for.


Plough
(Machines)
A plough can help to explain that there is a mountain of work to get through before you can reap the rewards of your hard work.

Plumbing
(Pipes above/Water) 

The emotions
Quite often these types of dream symbols refer to your internal plumbing and help you to understand and deal with physical or psychological obstructions.
Blockages highlight emotional issues that need flushing out.
Energy isn’t flowing freely.

Plunger
Get to the core of the issue and flush it out.
Negative blockages.

Plunging to the depths?

Pockets
(Bags/Basket/Purse below/Wallets)
Pockets are generally used in dreams in a similar way to purses and wallets, to express what resources you have available to you, they can also explain how you feel inside, empty or fulfilled. Pockets can also translate your financial situation as well as your spiritual tally.

Poison
(Acid/Insecticide)
Poison represents something detrimental to you. It will be used in dreams to symbolise anything or anyone that is destructive and can cause you harm.
Lies and gossip can translate as poison.
What is your poison?
Negative influence.

Poo
(Excrement in Body/Faeces)
When you dream that you are covered in your own poo and people can see it, it means that you feel like all the bad bits of your character are being judged by others, no one likes to have their crap on show. Everyone makes a mess of things in their lives, it means you are a normal human being. Its how you clear up the important mess.
Having to deal with crap?
Other people making you feel like crap?

Is your health making you feel like crap?

Pools
(Swimming/Water)

The emotions
Emotional issues that crop up are usually shown to you through water in dream language, and how you swim in a dream represents how you manage to deal with your own emotions. The larger the deluge of water in your dream the more emotional power is a force, and pools suggest a smaller well-contained amount of emotional energy. Swimming helps to release negativity and revitalises the body and mind so visiting a swimming pool in your dream can be a reminder to have fun a rejuvenate your body and soul.
Pools of tears or small emotional upsets.
Revitalise your energy levels!

Poppy
(Flowers)
Remembrance of lessons learned and of those brave souls that have gone before you, the road you currently travel has already been walked and worn by the brave.
You will get through it!
Be Brave!

Poverty
Dreaming of poverty can be a fear dream or used to explain difficult times. Poverty can also translate as spiritual poverty or low self-worth. Feeling broke or broken by the trials and tribulations of living your life.

Pregnancy
(Abdomen/Baby/Birth)

(Dreams During Pregnancy)
Occasionally pregnancy dreams do predict a pregnancy within the family unit but more often than not pregnancy shows that you have attributes that can create something worthwhile, it will take time, energy and lots of love but the final result will be worth it. Being responsible for something that needs care and attention for growth to occur. 
The creator within!

Presents
(Gifts)
Spiritual gifts are symbolised this way, along with your own talents and personal attributes. Present yourself in the best possible way for success to occur.
Live in the now or the present time!

Priest
(People)

People and characters
A priest can represent a spiritual influence and a need for assistance in something that is beyond your power.
Recompense for a past misdeed
Forgive yourself and others.
Spiritual learning and progression.

Prison
(Cage/Imprisoned/Jail)
There is a theory that earth can be viewed as a prison planet, and the body is seen as a prison for the soul, in other words, we are living in a prison within a prison, this simply translates the restrictions that a person feels throughout their life. This type of dream will occur when a spiritual person remembers or recognises the true freedom of the soul but then has then to deal with and negotiated earthly restrictions. This is a natural spiritual experience that can be understood using a prison dream scenario and it helps you come to terms with, accept and overcome the obstacles and boundaries that earthly life delivers.

Do you feel like you are living in a prison, with no real freedom to express who you are?
The soul is free and has no restrictions!

Prize
(Award/Badge)
A prize or honour is used in dreams as a symbol of recompense for your good actions. Translate what the prize was to help you.
Getting the object of your desire.
Rewards and recognition.

Prostitute 

(See Sex)
There might be some confusion in your mind as to the morally correct behaviour of other people or about your own ideas about relationships and sex. Having to pay for sex that is supposed to be a free and perfectly natural expression of love, is an example of the notion that in the long run there is always a price to pay for anything positive we receive.
Karmic payment?
Do not do things that go against your own moral judgment.

Puddle
(Leaks/Water) 

Splashing in puddles might be used to explain when you have been hurt, but rather than sit and wallow you get up and have fun, good for you!
Muddled emotions.
Released negative emotions.

Pulling
(Pushing below)
Pulling something along would be used in dream language to explain how you are attempting to force or draw someone or something to you, it suggests that your attempts are draining your energy; maybe because your actions go against theirs, perhaps they wish to stay where they are and not move forward. You may also be trying to pull along baggage or beliefs that are retained from previous experiences and this dream is helping you understand your own behaviour so that you ‘let go’ of the things that hold you back. What you are pulling in the dream will help with this translation.

Pulse
(Energy)
The pulse links with the heart, lungs, and blood and you can see how for something to have life it is reliant on the entire system doing its job.
Joint resources and joint ventures bring success.
If its got pulse it's got a chance!

The life force.

Punching
To be punching something in a dream is a safe way to release pent up energy or anger. Punching someone in a dream is a way for you to vent your disapproval of their actions or words which have angered you in your waking life. It helps you to see the consequences of anger in a non-damaging way. Punching the air suggests a celebration of success.

Puppet
Maybe you feel that your whole life is dictated to you by others, that you are controlled and dominated by other people’s decisions. 

Could you be the puppeteer?

Purse
(Wallet)
A purse or wallet can be used to present your financial situation and a better translation will come from what is in the purse or wallet? if it is full of money you can expect improvements in your current financial situation. You may have been learning the value of the things that money can’t buy and this has helped you to become a more level-headed individual. Purses and bags that are empty usually relay the message of you feeling empty inside, what this relates to exactly only you can tell. 

A purse that is full up with other things rather than money
An improved or a restricted financial situation?
The best things in life are free.


Pus
(Bad/Rotten)
Something or someone is festering; attention is needed to clean out the negativity that is building up.

Pushing
(Dragging/Pulling above)
Decide if you are pushing in, need a push or feel like pushing your obstacles aside rather than deal with them. Who is doing the pushing? If you are pushing something along in a dream, like a car or another object, then symbolically you are attempting to move a situation forward, it takes a lot of energy to do this. Pulling or pushing someone or something along usually requires effort on your part and this dream suggests that they do not want to come along so your energy might be wasted. 
Are you being pushed to do something you don't want to do? 

Puzzle
You need to put the pieces together to get the whole picture.

Pyramid
(Energy)

Structure Dream
Pyramids highlight the power within us and the structures we build in our life using that power. Some beliefs are that they were built to attract and direct the power of the universe or cosmos to earth, a form of channelling. If you dream of them it could also be showing you that the things you want to achieve can be created through hard work and powerful energies alike.
