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

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

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.

Journey Dreams and Transport

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

(Bicycle/Boat/Energy/Journey)

(Visiting other countries)
(Machinery/Railway) 
Transport/Travel

If you make any kind of journey in your dream then the dream is usually showing you the next stage of your own journey through life, any obstacles that you come up against can be translated and help to forewarn you of the pitfalls that may obstruct your way forward. 

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. 

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 present encounters because it should be a smooth ride forward 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 any 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.

The way in which 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 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

A plane needs the dreamer to have faith and take-off into the unknown, putting your trust in someone else to help you reach the heights you wish to reach, an airplane lifts us up and exhilarates us while taking us on long exciting journeys, and this can symbolise a project takin- off or you need a goal to aim for, even if it seems so far out of reach. Much effort is needed to reach the heights and distance that you want to reach but flight is possible for anyone who has the right attitude and motivation.

Any problems with the flight you take in a dream highlights the obstacles that could get in the way of you reaching your overall destination or goal. Plane crashes are an easy way for you to understand how your dreams have come crashing down; you have lost faith in yourself or in other people or you have lost sight of your dreams. 

Boats

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 support from drowning in emotional feelings and so symbolise the overall support that is available to you from the people around you, but sometimes strength comes from unknown quarters of even from yourself.

Bus

Travelling with other people reminds you that you are not alone on your current journey and assistance will be there for you if you need it, but when we use transport that requires a fare to be paid it helps you to acknowledge that you feel like you always end up having to pay for what you achieve in another way. Forget karma as its a man-made notion, but 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. Allowing other people to help you make progress will even out the balance and ensure there's enough energy to go round for all the things you want to do. 

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 to continue with the plans that you have made. If you have to 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 have their own journey to make and have chosen a different route. This type of dream also happens when you do not have everything you need to continue on your chosen course, you are halfway there but not quite.

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 symbolise our 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 time or another and this type of dream wants you to understand that there are times when you need to do nothing, and enjoy some rest, as it is equally important as making fast progress.

Tyres can also depict how tired or deflated we feel, and a vehicle’s brakes will symbolise our stopping ability, being able to stop something, especially if it isn't good for us, addictions are sometimes brought up in a dream 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 journey you are on is detrimental and will lead to complications in the long run.

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 or 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 fulfill certain tasks to benefit your own 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 do 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. Going past the station that you wanted to get off helps you understand missed opportunities.

Stations are also important in their own right because it is here that we meet people who will be important to us 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 is always 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 our life 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 different levels of existence.

The carriages of a train 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 fulfill a life plan or do something that is important to your destiny, whereas an old steam train will help you to understand that to make real progress you must change your perception or your own way of thinking about things, being positive and open to change will speed up your progress.

Trucks

Trucks provide a similar translation to cars but the emphases are on the access baggage and responsibilities that you carry along with you.  The precious cargo can symbolise 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, perhaps you are carrying everyone else’s baggage.

The Destination of Your Journey 

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 in order to become an enlightened, experienced individual. You have reached a milestone if you like, a time when you are able to 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 get through the cycle you are in, this is an unknown equation because everyone takes as long as they need to get through the different phases of learning and experience, 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 route which is cyclical; life moves in cycles and it is difficult to notice the progress that you have made when you keep going over old ground but rest assured that the cycle you perceive is, in fact, a spiral.

The other problem with destinations is that they can change because a person’s free will always dictate the route that they choose. The final 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.
