Dream Symbols: T


A B D E F G J K L M O P R U V X Y Z





Table
(Furniture/Structures) 

Your current set-up
Firstly, furniture is a structure so it can link with how your personal life is structured and how comfortable you are with your present set up. It can be used as a symbol of your home comforts; sometimes it needs repairs, renewing or just moving around to ensure it functions in the best way. Furniture can provide you with a symbol for how comfortable you are in other areas in your life, and the condition of the furniture gives clues to how stable the structures are. Home furniture links with our family or our home life and office furniture can link with work and career. A dining table can be used as a symbol for the centre of home life if it is adorned with cutlery and food, this shows that your home comforts will be taken care of and that you shouldn't stress too much about the finer details. It can also symbolise the fact that you have a lot of different choices available to you, all of which will be fruitful.

A bare table helps you to understand that there is work to be done to create a more secure and fulfilling life. It can also represent neglect and that you have been neglecting some aspects of your home life.
Turn the tables on someone?
The tables are turning?

Tablets
(Medicine/Pill)
Healing
Seeing or taking tablets in a dream reminds you that a problem needs a remedy. Other symbols may help to show you what the problems are, they may be physical, mental or problems caused by other people.
Stone tablets pass on important information from the past which might be useful for the future, the information portrays ideas that haven't changed with the times, they are set in stone, therefore, they might represent someone's very outdated views.

Tadpoles 

Change and growth
Tadpoles often signify the changing process from childhood to adulthood or from inexperience too maturity. Tadpoles can also symbolise fertility and foretell birth.
The growth cycles.
Transitions.

Do you measure up?

Tangle
(Hair/Knot) (See Mess)
Anything that is tangled in a dream symbolises a situation that needs untangling or straightening out. (Self-explanatory) A tangled web of lies?

Tank 

(Army/Battle/Soldiers)
(Machinery)

An army tank can help you to understand that you need a better form of protection for yourself; instigate a healthier form of defence from the grenades that are thrown your way.
If someone else is driving the tank they can cause disruption and damage as they barge their way through your life. Toughen up and break down the obstacles that stand in your way. 

A water tank holds emotions inside, leaks and spills are used to represent emotional outbursts.

Tap
(Energy/Water)
A tap can represent your own control over emotions, and turning a tap on means that you want to let your emotions out, whereas turning it off can help to explain that you have to block or stem your emotions to protect the feelings of other people. Other types of taps like gas taps or anything that controls the flow of energy highlight your ability to control volatile situations or control your own temper. 

Someone who runs hot and cold?
Tap into your own abilities? 

Tape
Sticky tape can help to highlight a sticky patch that persists in sticking around, but it could also symbolise sticking together.
A tape recorder or cassette prompts you to remember information from the past that could be useful for the future, but it can also help you to understand how you replay the same events over and over. 

Something from the past is replayed.
A measuring tape helps you to make well-measured choices and judgments.

Tapeworm
This will be used to portray negative feelings that are eating you up from inside, and draining you of vital energy.

Someone who drains you of vital energy?

Tar 

Obstacle Dream
To be tarred and feathered is a description of when you feel humiliated and tortured.
Getting caught up in a sticky mess.
The damage and restrictions caused by smoking?

Mob vengeance?

Target
(Aim/Shooting)
Hitting a target literally translates as getting what you are aiming for, whereas missing the target shows you that your aim is amiss, practise usually makes perfect, your dream could be reminding you that to get what you want you must keep trying. 

Are you the target of somebody's grievance?

Taste
(Food)
If you experience a nice taste in your dream, then this equals positive fulfilment, whereas a bad taste might represent something that leaves a bad taste in your mouth. 


Tattoo
(Ink)
Tattoos are often used in dream language to describe experiences that leave an indelible mark upon you, they have such a profound effect that they are likely to stay with you throughout life. These experiences can be both positive and negative or a combination of both if viewed from a higher perspective. An experience or a person that leaves a permanent mark upon you.

Tax
An imagined karmic debt can be shown through tax in dream language but also the notion of having to pay for your achievements by giving up other things. Owing tax in your dream links with the fear dream and may actually just represent your fear of money problems getting out of control. Are you having to pay out money that you begrudge paying?
You can’t have everything at once.
Creating balanced.


Taxi
A taxi is a symbol for somebody who can help you make progress but be careful of the help you enlist as it might cost you more in the long run. Transport in dreams is all about how you transport yourself through the next section of your life, if the transport is driven by someone else then they are the person who drives you forward, a taxi driver comes with a price to pay.

Teacher
(Education/School)
Someone who teaches us all the things that we need to learn to make progress, a spiritual influence or worldly teacher. A person in our life that teaches us lessons good or bad. 

A Spiritual Guide?

Tears
(Crying/Water/Weeping)

Emotions
Crying in a dream is a way to clear the buildup of emotional energy that you do not release when you are awake. This isn’t a common dream occurrence and is sometimes used when you are unable to shed tears in your waking life.
Sadness!

Teeth
(Common Dreams/Teeth)
(Dream about spitting out plastic)
Your fears of loss
Dreams where you must face fear like your teeth falling out become more prominent if you need to learn to face certain fears in your life, many people fear change without even realising. We get these dreams to help us come to terms with our fears especially if our fears are getting in the way of our personal growth. Teeth that are wobbly or loose in a dream represent your personal insecurities about losing something that you want and need, you fear change as much as you fear loss.

Telephone
(Language) 

(Mobile Phone Dream)
(Machinery)
Communication
Trying to talk on the telephone explains the need for good communication between people, but in dreams, we cannot make a proper connection or even dial the number, these dreams are obstacle dreams and happen because we are unable to make our feelings clear to other people or they do not understand us even if we do manage to tell them what we want to say.

Telescope
(Planets/Stars)

Take a closer look at situations
You need to examine and understand a situation that is going on at a distance from you. A telescope can also explain how you want to see the future or future outcomes. Translate what you see through the telescope to help you with the translation. If you haven't got a clear view perhaps this will relate to how you feel about the future, perhaps it's unclear or lacking in direction. 


Television
(Actor/Actress)

(Machine
Communication 
Televisions are basically transmitters of information and can represent the need for communication. A television can often be used as a conduit for messages that are sent from the spirit world, you are the receiver of the message and they are 'somewhere' out there sending their words and pictures. Your ability to pick up their signals will be explained by the way the television works in the dream scenario. This type of dream is common when people are learning to be open to receive information from external sources and can help you to understand the need to fine-tune your psychic gifts as well as listen to your instincts.
Televisions can also relay information about your earthly life and present you with all the dramas, news, and events that happen throughout your life. If you change channels in a dream, then you are attempting to find out what is going to happen in other areas of your life or you are trying to instigate change. Changing channels is also a representation of changing your vibration or changing your outlook.


Tent

Weak structure
A tent is symbolic of a temporary set-up that you are in; it does not offer long term protection or security. It is merely a short-term cover for the real-life you want.

Tests
(Accomplish/Education/Exams)
(Test and Exam Dreams)
Your skills, attributes, strengths, and weaknesses 
Judgment
Tests and exams are used in dream language to explain the feeling of being tested or going through testing times. Test dreams also happen when you feel that your abilities and skills are being scrutinised or judged. The truth of the situation is that no one has any business to judge you, other people really should think about their own hallo before they check where yours is, consider your attitude to being weighed up because this type of dream happens when you need to understand this. Even if you are not the type of person to care what other people think of you, you might be the type of person who judges yourself, you may actually be your own obstacle, trying to uphold the highest standards which inevitably you will fail 
at eventually. No one is perfect thankfully, and you do not need to be, so if exam and test dreams recur in your dreams perhaps you should stop judging yourself and accept you are just like everyone else.
Different types of scenarios often play out in these dreams and will help to explain your situation further. 
Tests or exams dreams where there never seems to be enough time to complete a task happens because you feel that you cannot do your best for everyone, there just isn’t enough hours in a day to do everything well. You want everything to be perfect but you don't have enough energy to be able to make that happen.
Test and exam dreams are often used in a spiritual dream whereby the tests you are set are symbolic of the challenges and experiences you set yourself before you came here, but the point of life is not actually about reaching goals, passing tests or being the best at something, we are here just for the experience and what we learn on the way is simply an added bonus. Exam results will represent your strengths and weakness and help you think about making changes if you want to.

Thaw

(Weather)
Emotions
A cold heart is thawing.
An obstacle is melting away.
Loneliness is dissipating.

Theatre
(Actor/Buildings/Opera/Pantomime/Stage)

The theatricals of life
The theatre can be used to present theatrical circumstances going on in your life, i
t is a place where you can watch events play out. Other symbolism will come from what is going on in the theatre, if for example, you are unable to watch the show then this explains how there is uncertainty as to how events will pan out. Buildings themselves represent the structures you have in place to keep things up-right and secure, so to be in a dilapidated theatre explains how the drama and theatrical outbursts have led to decay in a relationship which could then lead to a change in the way your life is structured in the future. 

Thermometer
(Cold/Hot/Weather)

Gage someone's standpoint
A thermometer represents the measuring of heat or cold and might be symbolic for your own ability to measure someone’s feelings for you; it could also be a hint as to how close you are to getting what you want. Testing temperature is trying to gauge someone’s feelings for you.

Thief
(Burglars/Stealing)
A thief is a symbolic representation of someone who takes something away from you, for example, they take away people or your precious time and energy, which would be better spent elsewhere, or perhaps they drain your financial resources.

Thirst
(Drink)
Thirst could be used to describe your need or want for something, perhaps a thirst for knowledge or something else that you crave. 
To be thirsty or hungry in a dream explains how you feel unappreciated or undervalued or you feel that something is missing from your life that is vital to your well being.
Occasionally thirst in a dream occurs
 because you need to drink water, dreams where you cannot quench a thirst are common when your body actually needs water, but they do also happen when there is an unquenchable thirst for spiritual knowledge or a thirst for anything else like money, attention etc.
A deficiency of something you need?

Thorn
A thorn in your side?
Prickly people.


Thread
(Rope /Wool)
Threads can describe the threads that link us together but if something is threadbare then the ties you have made in the past are becoming weaker. Look up the item which is threadbare to help you with the translation. 

Sewing is a way to patch things up, make amends and repair relationships. 
To follow a thread is to uncover information.
Holding on by a thread?

Throne
The power and privileges available to those with divine right, or in other words the status you can reach if you try harder. A throne is also an angel of the seventh order in the Christian faith and this might relate to the divine power and your own spiritual learning.

Thunder
(Weather)
Thunder rumbling in the distance can warn you that an emotional storm is heading your way.

Ticket
(Fare/Journey)
(A ticket to ride or not?)
A ticket often provides you with permission to board transport; therefore, you are being shown that you can move forward with your plans. What the ticket is for will give you more clues as to where the journey will take you.
The time is right to move forward.
You are allowed into someone’s heart.

Tidal Wave
(Weather) 

(Tsunami Dream)
A tidal wave nearly always explains 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 turmoils can be destructive and leave a mess to clear up but having said that it can show you how emotions that are not released regularly will build up and overspill.

Tide
(Water/Weather)
The ebb and flow of the tide describe how emotions and feelings can wash in and out depending on the energy involved and the depth of feeling. If the tide is out there needs to be a waiting period before you can move forward with your own emotional dealings. If the tide is in, you need to take the initiative and share your feelings before the tide changes yet again. 

The tide of change.

Tidying Up 
(Cleaning)
(Broom/Dirt/Dust/Washing)
(Messy House Dream)

Time
(Alarm Clock/Clock/Watch)
If you are aware of time in a time dream then it may be because time has become an important feature in your life, perhaps there is not enough of it for you to do all the things you have to do, perhaps you want to stop time from moving on which shows your reluctance to move forward.
Time can be your enemy but also your friend.
Maybe it's time to do something that you have been putting off.

Time Travelling 
You return to the past because you wish to manipulate or change events that have happened, and you travel to the future to see how your life is going to see if it is any better than your current circumstance, think about your reasons for wanting to do this. Going into the future might help you to understand where your current path will lead you. The message from this dream is that you must accept and appreciate the present.

Toilet
(Excrement in Body)

(Faeces/Poo/Rooms in House)
Getting rid of negativity and the things that you do not need in your life anymore.
Let it go!

Tools 

Your skills and attributes
Tools represent the tools you have at hand to complete a task or carry out a role, they are used to describe your own skills, talents and positive attributes. The condition of the tools will help to explain your personal abilities and how useful they are for the job or role you must attend to. Perhaps you are not equipped with the right tools for a certain job; an example of this comes from the saying “Trying to crack a nut with a sledgehammer.” Consider if you are going around things in the right way and if you need to sharpen your skills to use them in a new role.

Torch
(Light)
A guiding light to help you through the dark times and to show you the way forward.

Tortured /Torture
A situation that feels torturous, afflictions and hurt have come to the point that you have had enough and cannot take any more. To be tortured in a dream can occasionally happen when you are being overcome by a negative force; the negative force can represent anything in your life that has power over you. You need to find the strength to escape. 


Tour Guide
Someone who shows you the route to take on the next part of your journey, and helps you reach your destination. Probably symbolic for your spiritual guide but look out for obstacles, pitfalls or problems with the vehicle in the dream. 

Tower
This is another symbol that has both negative and positive translations and it will depend on the circumstances of the dream to the correct interpretation. If you are at the top of a tower in your dream it can show how you sometimes look down on other people but in contrast, it can also describe your rise to the top. A tower is also a symbol of abandonment and neglect and it can show how you feel trapped in a situation.
Towering above your problems.
Reaching great heights in a profession.
Imagined judgment!

Toys
(Games)
The playful side of your personality needs to see daylight.
Is someone playing games with you?

Traffic
(Journey)
In dream language, traffic can be used to help describe the other people with whom you share your current journey, your family, friends, and colleagues, the amount of traffic on the road helps to explain how busy your life is at the moment and how you share the same experiences with the people around you. 

Too many cars can be a symbol of too many responsibilities or for slow progress.
If there are not many other people on the road in your dream this helps you understand that the next part of your journey is one which you need to do alone, or that your present circumstance is unusual and one which other people cannot necessarily understand or relate to, or perhaps its merely a journey you need to take alone. Spiritual journeys are often depicted this way.
A busy time.
People who are in and out of your life.

Tramp
Elusiveness.
Feeling lonely and lost in the world.
Neglect.
Lone traveller.

Transport
(Bicycle/Boat/Energy/Journey)
(Visiting other countries)
(Machinery/Railway) 
The method of transport you use in your dream helps you understand the way you are progressing on the road you have chosen. Transport is all about how you transport yourself through the next section of your life and the energy you have available to make progress on that chosen route.
If the transport is driven by someone else, then this shows that other people are what provides the motivation and drive to help you carry on. If you are driving, then you are self-motivated and self-driven. Public transport is referring to the shared experience or rite of passage. Obstacles in the road or on the journey just help to bring your attention to the fact that there are obstacles to get over on your chosen route.

Trapped

Claustrophobic Dream
Being unable to move in a dream can link with the feeling of not being able to escape from a situation, this can often link with your financial situation or to the fact that another person prevents you from leaving. 

Not being able to move forward or find freedom. 
Feeling trapped within a situation?

Travel
Destination/Journey

(Time Travel above)
(Visiting other countries)
(Journey and Travel Dream)

(Railway)
Travelling can represent the next part of your life journey, it helps you to pre-see a section and it can give you clues to how things will go. Sometimes the destination is known to you and sometimes you are not aware of where you are going, this is an important symbol in its own right because it explains if you have a set goal or if you are aimlessly seeing where life takes you.
Travelling with other people helps you to see the other important people in your life and if or not they are helping you or if they are an obstacle for you to deal with. Travelling alone will highlight the need for you to do some things alone, or that a certain journey is linked to your own personal experience and not to that of your close family or friends. Take note of the transport used and of the effort or the energy that it takes to get you where you are going and think about any obstacles in your path.
Travelling often links with holidays and helps you to know when you need to take a break from the responsibilities that you have. Visiting other countries tells you that you are on a journey into new territories, you haven’t experienced this before. If you are visiting a country that you know then you are re-visiting a time that was either important to you or that you would like to go back to. It might have been a time that you enjoyed or were completely relaxed and carefree.
Travelling to a place that is negative or has negative memories happens to help you remember that you do not want to go back there, so please ensure you make changes that ensure you do not re-visit old patterns of behaviour or old ways of thinking.

Treasure
(Treasure and Money Dream)
Sometimes treasure can be used to describe somebody who is a treasure to you, treasure also helps you to understand that the real treasures in life come freely. A chest of wealth is available for you either financially, spiritually or a wealth of knowledge to help you move forward with your plans.
Rewards are there for the taking.

Trees
(Acorn)
(Silver Birch Tree)
Growth and maturity
The trees need to be healthy in your dream, but evergreens highlight the longevity of relationships or projects. Slow growing trees remind you that knowledge or success comes with experience and time. If the trees are damaged or unhealthy it will represent a problem to deal with before growth can continue. You might have to refine your plans or make cutbacks to instigate new growth. Removing dead or diseased wood is done to protect the rest of the tree from damage. Perhaps a relationship or business plan needs to be adjusted for it to be long-lasting and strong.
Tall trees show you the height that you can reach or grow to, for a relationship/business venture this will explain a long-standing worthwhile investment of your time and energy. Small trees can be used to describe young relationships or small business ventures that can grow and be successful.
Growth and strength.
Cleansing and rejuvenation.

Tricks
(Games/Magic)
Maybe the symbolism will come from the type of tricks that you dream about, card tricks can explain how things are not as they seem, the hand you have been offered is not quite what you expect. Perhaps someone is playing games with you or trying to trick you into doing something that you don’t want to do. 

Trumpet
(Music) 

Vibration and energy
Trumpets relate to spiritual vibrations, they are used to call the ending or the beginning of something, perhaps your awareness is being brought to the fact that it is time to begin your journey of enlightenment or call a halt to your current method of existing. 
In the past spirit used a trumpet for communication with the living. 
Finish one thing and before you start another.

Tug
(Boat/Canal)
A tug boat will usually present the emotional baggage that you pull along with you. The ease with which you do this might be shown by the ride you take on the tug boat in your dream. Any obstacles that you collide with will describe your inability to express your feelings in a way that doesn’t cause arguments, whereas a smooth and faultless ride will represent your wisdom to deal with emotional situations positively and pragmatically. 

To be tugged at in your dream is a way to get your attention. Someone tugging at your heartstrings?

Tug of war
(Pulling)
This dream symbol is self-explanatory, you are pulling one way and other people are pulling another, a battle of the strongest mind and will. 

A disagreement being pulled back and forth.

Tunnel
(Journey)

(Tunnel Dreams)
(Railway)
Journey Dream
Tunnels can represent the passage of time, or entering a phase of transition, perhaps from one stage of your life (or stage of learning) into another one, the destination may be apparent in this type of dream which means that you have reached your intended goal. This symbol can be about the spiritual transitions that you make or about the natural changes that occur when you move from adolescence towards maturity.
Tunnels that are underwater help to explain the emotional journey towards maturity that you must navigate. The tunnel is providing a way through all the emotional turmoil that you experience as you learn to grow up or go through major transitions. If the tunnel is full of water it relates to the feeling of not being able to see light at the end of the tunnel, your emotions are overpowering your ability to see a way forward, you must learn to control your emotions if you want to move forward. The message being given is that you will get through it as everyone does.
Not coming out of the other end of a tunnel simply explains how it could take you an unknown amount of time to make important changes, or that the time it takes to get through something is down to you.

The journey of the soul towards enlightenment.

Twins
(Baby)
Dreaming of twins can sometimes predict the birth of twins but this symbol might also be used to draw your attention to a couple who are inseparable or to twin minds that think alike. 

Twins can also help you to think about duality, and represent two things happening at once, or two very similar experiences. 
Double trouble?
