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.
