chased by a wolf
Hi Rita— Forests in dreams symbolize feelings of uncertainty about the future. (We cannot see far ahead in a forest.) Being chased in a dream is a metaphor for our efforts to avoid disturbing thoughts and feelings. We try to escape from painful awarenesses, but they keep “pursuing us”—mentally and emotionally. Wolves in dreams represent […]
dead boyfriend
Hi Anonymous- Why do they call it love when it hurts so much…..???! Dreams of friends, family, and lovers dying always are disturbing. We tend to think literally about the dreams—and wonder if they were precognitive—which makes us worry (in real life) about our loved ones dying. Death actually is a consistent symbol for change […]
choking
Hi Leslie – In another day, a dream analyst might have spent a good deal of time—hers and yours—attempting to identify the origin of this dream. What is the deeper meaning of this violent choking? What terrible trauma—childhood or recent—is this woman trying to purge from her soul? A number of clues left in your […]
first words
I’m a 21 year old male from South Africa. I’m currently studying in Pretoria, which is about one hundred miles away from my home, which is in Durban. From 1994 to 1996, the last three years of my schooling career, I took a liking to a girl who was two years younger than me. She […]
different admirers
Each night for the last few days I’ve had different guys in my dreams come out and say they love or like me. What do these dreams mean? Do you know if something good or bad is going to happen? WHATS GOING ON IN MY DREAMS?? –Chic For the interpretation of the dream, click […]
my doctor
Hi Susan – I think your dream is a fairly clear reflection of your feelings for this other woman, who is your doctor. Not only do you admire her a great deal, you also are protective of her. Bravely protective – like “a grizzly.” I don’t know your background or your doctor’s, but you two […]
cosmic sex
I don’t remember how it started. I just remember dreaming that I was having sex with a man, and as I watched us, it was like an out-of-body experience. I could see both of us as spirits separate from the bodies. I could feel everything my body felt but I could see us as spiritual […]

mute boyfriend
Hi Eileen – You may not be very happy about the direction your boyfriend’s life is heading right now, as represented by the clothing in the swift moving river. I think you also feel that he isn’t doing anything about this direction – which is why you see him in the dream as being mute […]
moving on
Hi Meredith – In ancient Greece – in the temples of the healing god Aesclepius – snakes were revered in dreams as symbols of healing, transformation, growth, and re-birth. To this day you can see this link between the symbol of the snake and the healing arts recorded in the logo of the medical profession. […]
pregnant or not pregnant?
I just met a guy over the internet about a month ago. We have a lot of things in common and have a great time talking to each other. We are the same age, but he has two kids from his previous marriage (ages 11 and 9). In the last week or so we have […]
marry my best friend
Hi “Anonymous” – I think you are just sexually curious and that this is totally natural. It’s natural to wonder what marriage will be like, and because you don’t have any specific man in your life that you are going to marry yet, you dreamed of acting it out with your friend. And you are […]
