Father
Adults
frequently experience their own father in a dream as a helpful figure. He
reminds the dreamer of things he has taught him which are now forgotten, and
embodies that aspect of the dreamer's personality which is formed by the
father. As a rule, the father is a symbol of traditional order and of that
natural authority which is vitally necessary. The father appears particularly
frequently in the dreams of younger people. Here, he becomes the dreamer's
opponent. With this image, the dream is broaching the question of the
so-called generation gap. it is necessary , however, for young people to rebel
against the guidelines established by the father in order to develop their
own, independent personality. The dream is seeking to help the dreamer
overcome his childish image of his father and to see him as the person he
really is in real life.
Field
The image
of a field can indicate to the dreamer that a fertile phase is beginning. This
image can, however, also indicate that the dreamer must apply himself to a
specific problem.
Fire
(domestic)
The fire
symbolizes the warmth of human emotions. It frequently appears in women's
dreams, where it indicates the problems of marriage. In earlier days it was,
of course, the woman's task to keep the fire burning. Interpretations should
be made accordingly.
Fish
The image
of fish in water in a dream can imply a sexual theme. Fish live in water,
which is a straightforward symbol of the unconscious. Seen in this light, the
fish indicates man's instinctive aspects, which are governed by the
unconscious.
Flame,
fire
The
positive, life-preserving significance of fire arises from the concept of the
eternal flame of life. The appearance of devouring and destructive fire in a
dream is a danger signal. The danger can relate to the dreamer's sexual
problems. We commonly speak of devouring love when we really mean dependency.
Flowers,
airplane
Flowers
are symbols for the dreamer's feelings. There are proverbial parallels between
human and plant life cycles growing, budding, blossoming and fading. A system
of flower symbolism holds true only for certain plants like, for example,
roses, lilies and cacti. A fresh-cut bouquet or a tree in blossom, as a rule,
has positive significance.
Flying,
airplane
Dreams of
flying are extremely common. An airplane can appear positively in a dream as a
conveyer of thoughts or ideas of far-reaching significance. It can equally
well signify a desire for independence. Generally, however, flying is a danger
signal, particularly when the dreamer flies or hovers on his own, without an
airplane. This dream image shows that the dreamer's thoughts have become
divorced from the realities of life. To a certain extent, he is making things
too easy for himself by "flying over" his problems.
Forest,
Wood
In a
dream, the forest indicates the realm of the unconscious. Experience has shown
that dream events which take place in a forest or wood are archetypal patterns
of the collective unconscious. Frequently, these are behavior patterns we know
from fairytales and legends, as to some extent fairytales, legends and myths
represent the dreams of mankind.
Fountain,
spring
In myths
and fairytales, fountains and springs symbolize the origin of life. Stemming
from the belief that it is womankind which continually renews life by
childbirth, the fountain has acquired the symbolic meaning of the fountain of
life.
Frog
Men
rarely dream of frogs, but more often of toads. In women's or girl's dreams,
the frog has a similar significance to that in the well-known fairytale of the
frog king by the Brothers Grimm. In this fairytale, the frog turns into a
radiant prince. But this only happens after the princess, on her father the
king's orders, has given the frog food from her plate and warmed him in her
bed.
The frog is an animal
which lives partly on land and partly in water. It indicates a transitionary
phase in the process of evolution of living things, and is in this respect a
symbol of change or transformation. The frog's life in water refers to cold
and still impersonal elemental nature. The fairytale tells us allegorically
that this impersonal side of nature, which also plays a role in sexuality, can
only be elevated into the sphere of an acceptable human relationship by
spiritual nourishment and by being firmly embedded in human emotions.
The toad is the symbol
of the fertile, devouring mother goddess, who is also the mother of death. A
toad in a man's dream can, therefore, be seen as a warming signal.
Fables
Dreaming
of reading or telling fables may mean you have many pleasant tasks before you
or that you have a strong interest in writing. Religious fables mean you have,
or will have, a deep devotional feeling toward God. To dream you are living a
fable may mean that you are pretending too much and you should face the truth,
or it may mean you have an inner wish to escape a situation you find
uncomfortable in your daily life.
Face
To dream
of seeing your own face in a mirror denotes some type of trouble ahead for
you. To see happy, smiling faces show that good luck will reward your efforts.
A dream of weird, leering faces is warning you of potential danger to your
person, or misfortune will dog your steps.
Fagot
(burning sticks)
A
brightly burning pile of fagots show you will win out over all those who
oppose you. If you dream of the fagots giving off a thick smoke then will your
enemies get the better of you. Anothers actions will bring harm to you if you
dream of walking on them, but if they do not burn you the harm will be
negligible.
Failure
To dream
of failure is a dream associated with fear of being inadequate and a fear of
not having a winning personality. To dream of failure in a business means you
are letting fear cloud all your dealings and must change this or suffer a real
loss in revenue. A woman who dreams of failing in love will if she does not
change some of the things she has been doing and become more self reliable.
Fainting
In a
dream shows you are performing such activities or engaging in a lifestyle that
is ruinous to your health. It is a warning to change while you are still
able-bodied. If you see a family member faint it is a sign that you will hear
of indiscreet activities on the relatives part.
Fair
If you
dream of attending a fair this denotes that you will have much pleasantness in
your life. To win prizes at the fair indicates a true love that will make you
happy for the rest of your life. If you lose a game this means that the
companion you have chosen will turn out to be the wrong one for you.
Fairy
If you
should dream of a beautiful, happy fairy you will have much joy and happiness
in your own life in pleasant surroundings. Should the fairy be sad, this
denotes a loss of love or money, or both.
Faithless
If you
dream that your lover is faithless to you this will mean that she or he will
always be faithful. To dream of faithless friends show they have you in high
regard. This is a dream of opposites. Whatever the context take it the other
way.
Fakir
If you
dream of an Indian fakir who is able to cloud the mind to show you many
wonders then will you be in danger of being duped by an ingenious person known
or unknown to you. To just see a fakir shows that you will have many changes
in your life.
Falcon
To dream
that you are hunting with a falcon shows that you are in danger of ruining
your business reputation by being too aggressive and bringing harm to others.
To see a falcon on the wing shows that you will become an object of jealousy.
Fall
Common
symbol for lack of emotional support uncertainty about the future: We don’t
know “where we are going to land.” If you dream you are falling but you are
not frightened or harmed shows that you will meet with adversity but overcome
it with ease. If the fall greatly frightens you then will you under go a major
struggle in life. If you are injured in the fall you will lose many friends.If
you dream you are falling but you are not frightened or harmed shows that you
will meet with adversity but overcome it with ease. If the fall greatly
frightens you then will you under go a major struggle in life. If you are
injured in the fall you will lose many friends.
Fame
If you
dream of famous people this portends that you will soon see an increase in
your prosperity and a rise to you own place of honor. If you dream of yourself
having fame and fortune then you must take the dream in reverse and expect
disappointments in your field of endeavors.
Family
If you
dream of a large family this means that your fortunes in life are looking up,
but if the family is unhappy or bickering it will denote the opposite for you.
It would mean the same if the family is an animal family. If the family is
very sad expect some adverse reactions in your financial structure.
Feather
Dreaming
of feathers can have as many interpretations as there are feathers, depending
on their actions, their colors, the type of bird that furnished them and where
they were found. Try correlating all the know factors to glean the real answer
from your dream. Generally though, A dream of many feathers floating in the
air denotes a mighty stroke of good luck to your finances, while ornamental
feathers denote an increase in social affairs; if you brush them off, you will
have many small joys.
Feet
Again,
the interpretation of feet depend on the action in the dream. Generally
speaking: Washing the feet denotes freedom from worry, itching feet means you
will walk on new land (travel), to see a strangers feet means you will meet
someone new, hurting feet denote family problems, cold feet denote a
reluctance to go through with something, losing your feet shows unexpected
problems, children's feet bring small worries, large feet shows that you have
good health, small feet brings many small worries.
Fence
A dream
of a fence is a straight out obstacle dream and can only be used in the
interpretation as action and content define. It is a symbol of being hemmed
in, confined, restrained and otherwise prevented from going where one would
want to go. It also a symbol of protection of property, self, and possession.
A fence between you and another person could be saying to that person, "this
far and no further".
Fighting
Fighting
is a no nonsense dream of change, and the dream itself will have to point to
the area of your life that will be changed. This signifies a change in job, or
a change of enterprise if you own your own business. The degree of change can
be determined by how hard you fought, and if you won or lost the fight. If you
dream of others fighting it is telling you to be more careful with your
financial dealings, and watch your spending.
Fire
A fire is
also a complex omen in a dream and must be interpreted in light of the actions
connected with it. To see a house burning down in a dream is the warning that
a close relative needs help from you desperately. If the fire burns you, you
will have bad luck, if not, then you will have good luck. A small fire in the
fireplace shows contentment in the dreamer, but if you stir it with a poker
you will soon have a romantic adventure. If you manage to put out a
destructive fire then you will overcome the obstacles in your path of life.
Fish
To see
live fish in a dream is very much good luck unless the fish was carp, in which
case it is a warning against subjecting yourself by your actions to criticism.
A fish swimming in clear water is an omen that you will acquire personal
wealth and power. but to see a dead fish as in a market is an omen of
disappointment. Cooking and eating fish, except carp, indicates your present
endeavors will meet with success.
Flood
If the
flood was gentle and the water clear you will soon see an end to all the
worries that have been plaguing you about a certain matter. but if the water
was angry and muddy this denotes that you will have great trials and
tribulations in life. If the water does not drown you, you will eventually win
out over your adversaries. If you are swept away by the flood, then that is a
warning that someone is trying to use you.
Floodlights
To dream
of floodlights shows that you want to throw a lot of light on a subject and
get everything out in the open where it can be seen and understood. A
floodlight that burns out shows that you will be kept in the dark about
certain things, but if you replace the bulb, you will uncover all the secrets.
Floor
Represents your base, your support, the thing that supports you so you can
walk through your house (life), and anything you dream concerning a floor must
be considered in that manner in relationship with the rest of your dream. If
you are cleaning, polishing, shining, repairing, or in some manner improving
your floor is an omen that foretells of success in your endeavors to gain in
the business world or to improve your standard of living. A slanted floor
foretells that you are deviating too far from your original plans and that is
not conducive to attaining your goals
Fly
(insect)
To have
many annoying flys around you foretells of petty problems and quarrels with
your relatives that amount to nothing more then aggravation.
Flying
Metaphor
of personal power in dreams. Flying to escape a pursuer suggests confidence in
one’’s ability to avoid, or outmaneuver, fears and problems in our life.
Difficulty gaining elevation (we have to ““bounce”” off the ground, or fly
around obstacles), suggests doubts about our ability to reach a destination.
Fears of landing reflect uncertainty about the future; we don’’t know ““where
we will land.”” Dreams of soaring unfettered above the Earth reflect feelings
of empowerment. We are confident in our ability to “reach any destination,”
and feel “on top of the world.” If you dream you are flying so high that you
can actually touch the moon and stars this portends many different types of
global disaster that you may soon hear of. If you fly high with black wings
you are warned that you are headed for a let down of magnitude. Flying dreams
are normally a good omen and if the flight is pleasant, with no worries and
anxieties, you can look for happiness and plenty to follow.
Forest
If you
dream that you got lost in a big forest it is an omen of financial gain, if
you are poor and lost, but you will experience loss if you are affluent. A
stroll through a beautiful green forest with tall trees show that you will
have a period of hardship followed by release from worry and then success in
your endeavors.
Forgetting
If you
dream that you keep forgetting something, it is a warning that you may have
forgotten something, an appointment or a date, that is important enough to
your life to merit the intercession of your subconscious mind. This is serious
enough to warrant your immediate attention.
Fork (in
the road)
If the
dreamer goes to a fork in the road and sees a big oak tree this indicates that
there is an important decision that must be made which will change his or her
life and should be considered with much care. If the fork in the road is just
ordinary then the dreamer will have a decision to make bearing on important
matters, but not necessarily a matter to change ones life.
Fork
(utensil)
to dream
of being stabbed with a fork or seeing someone stabbed with one is a warning
to guard your statements in order not to lose status and prestige. If you see
someone eating with a fork it denotes that the dreamer may be cleared of all
his present worries through the intervention of a friend.
Fountain
A well
filled, and merrily trickling fountain is a sign of prosperity and luck. If
the fountain you dream of is old, or clogged up, then you will have a few
setbacks that could bring you a short period of poverty.
Friend(s)
If you
dream of good friends in a congenial and happy setting then you will soon here
good new of them or a close relative. If they exhibit staunch friendship for
you in your dream then all your current activities will be successes. If you
see them as sad or unhappy you will receive news of an illness.
Frog
If you
dream of eating frogs then you will find very little to gain in current
relationships and losses associated with love affairs. If you dream of
catching a frog then the carelessness you exhibit concerning your health and
well being will greatly distress those who care for you. If you see frogs in a
low marshy area this is a sign of ill luck and losses. Seeing frogs in clean,
green grass denotes the making of an even tempered friend and confidant.
Fruit
Cultivated fruit, such as and orange, is a lucky omen and promises a period of
growth followed by fruition (financial gain) if it is ripe. Green fruit
denotes that you will work harder, and longer then others, and may not attain
to the goals that you have set for yourself unless you make some changes.
Frustration
If you are dreaming of
frustration it represents some things in your life that you find hard to cope
with, and the frustration is coming out in your dream. Try to pinpoint the
cause of your unrest by looking up all the dream symbols that you can remember
and that should clear the matter up.
