Dream Meanings
Every symbol has two layers: what it usually means for almost everyone, and what it means only to you. Here is the first one, with variations by dream context; the second is worked on in a reading. None of this predicts the future or diagnoses anything.

Other symbols, in brief
Moon
Cycles, intuition and the inner feminine. What shifts in you without your full control, like a phase you don't get to choose.
Water
Your emotions, depending on how it appears: a calm sea, a flood, a glass that spills over. Each form shades how you feel inside.
Door
Decisions and thresholds. Chapters opening or that you feel closing — and, sometimes, the fear of crossing.
House
An image of yourself. Its rooms are parts of you; the basement, what you don't look at; the attic, memory.
Closed eye
What you don't yet want to face head-on, even though you already sense it inside.
Falling
Loss of control — or the sign that something you're holding with effort is asking you to let it go.
Spiral
Thoughts that come back and patterns that repeat, looking for a way out they haven't found yet.
Star
Desire and guidance. What you look toward even when it's far away — and the calm that comes after the storm.
Flight
Freedom or a need to rise above something that weighs on you while awake. If flying is hard, it usually speaks of an effort that feels out of proportion.
Being chased
Something you avoid facing follows you precisely because you avoid it. It's rarely the threat itself — it's the running that keeps the chase alive.
Mirror
Self-image and self-knowledge. What you see —or can't see— in your own reflection often speaks of how you're looking at yourself lately.
