Dreams A–Z

A river or shore strewn with floating lanterns, gentle waves carrying light away and toward you — a ritual of release, memory, and soft guidance.

A powerful, solitary predator symbolizing raw personal power, instinctual clarity, and protective fierceness; can appear as a warning, ally, or mirror of untamed parts of the self.

Moving between eras — clocks, portals, trains or doors that shift you into past or future; encounters with younger/older selves and attempts to alter events.

A small domestic appliance symbolizing daily comfort, transformation of the ordinary, and the heat required to change raw into ready.

A private, basic place for release, cleansing, and boundary work — often messy, urgent, or practical in the dream.

A small, everyday tool that stands for hygiene, routine, the mouth/throat area, and quiet acts of self-respect.

A hand-held flame used to illuminate, signal or burn; its steadiness and heat mirror intent and inner will.

A towel in dreams acts as a caretaker object: it absorbs, covers, dries, and creates a boundary between private and public. It points to self-care, emotional clean-up, protection, domestic routine, and how you handle what you've soaked up.

A sheltered stand of trees threaded with a wooden trellis: symbol of guided growth — structures that support climbing life, community roots, and chosen boundaries.

A bright, simple flower that signals renewal, dignity, and a gentle opening of the heart.

A passage through darkness that leads from one state to another — literal or psychological. It asks you to move through, not around, what you are avoiding.

A small defensive tower — a high, watchful point that separates observer from scene below.

A slow, steady creature carrying its home — symbol of protection, patience, long-term movement and quiet resilience.

A heavy, curved ivory tusk as symbol of strength, protection, memory and contested value — living power and what the world takes from it.

An instrument of deliberate, tactile writing — the old-fashioned imprinting of words that ties intention to permanence and rhythm.

A portable shelter that opens to shield you from rain or wind — a boundary object that chooses protection, exposure, or shared cover.

A mechanical gateway that opens, closes, or regulates flow — literal and symbolic control over movement and release.

A distant line or place in the dream where forms, people, or paths disappear—an axis of loss and possibility.

A vessel symbolizing containment, care, creativity and what you choose to hold or display.

A dream about vellum — old parchment, animal-hide pages, careful hands tracing script — pointing to memory, craft, and what we choose to preserve.

A lighthouse whose surface is soft velvet, emitting a steady warm glow that guides across a calm, tactile sea — intimate guidance rather than harsh warning.

A small domed observatory lined in plush velvet; low light, copper telescopes, folded star charts and the hush of patient watching.

A threshold place: shelter that looks outward, a pause between inside safety and the world; vantage for watching, greeting, deciding.

A container image: a cup, boat, urn or body that holds, carries, protects or moves contents — emotions, stories, lineage, responsibility.
