The house normally represents your life, and the
circumstances. Individual rooms of the house
may represent specific things. For instance, if the
bedroom appears, the dream may have
something to do with issues of intimacy. The
bathroom may represent a need for cleansing.
Cars, planes, buses, etc., may be symbols of the type
or even the size of the job you are or will be engaged
in. Observe details (color, make, model, who is driving
it). If someone else is driving, who is it? Do you know
the person? Is it a person from your past? If the driver
is faceless, this may refer to a person who will appear
sometime in your future.

This dream may indicate that you are being

tempted to fall back into old patterns. Depending
upon who the person is in the dream, and what
this person represents to you, these dreams
might also be an indication of your need to
renew your former desires.

These dreams indicate that you will be or
are
becoming
transparent
and
vulnerable. Depending on your particular
situation, this may be fearful and could
reveal feelings of shame.
Flying dreams deal with your spiritual
capacity to rise above problems and
difficulties.

For each kind of dream write the words or group of words related to its
meaning.
