10 Unusual Dream Signs
1. Amputation
A forceful act of cutting off something no longer useful or healthy for you. Or, it may signal a crisis or situation that needs your attention right now. The more dramatic the event, the stronger the need to take notice.
2. Arrow
To be shot by an arrow may suggest you're being forced to recognize a painful truth. And, it's final. There's no going back.
A broken arrow may mean a plan stopped working or fell apart. A damaged arrow could also be about a broken promise.
3. Chanting
Chanting may signal there is a situation that needs to change. It
helps to identify the words used by the group. They could be revealing
what to look for. Or, guide towards next steps to take.
It's also helpful to notice 'who' is chanting. For example, if they are protesters, what are they objecting to or resisting?
4. Chimney
A corridor to access the world of unseen realities. And, spiritual part of yourself.
Coming down a chimney may signify gifts are on their way to become a reality in your life. For example, soul qualities, talents or characteristics you can 'open up' and enjoy.
5. Duck
Duck loves the water. And, water can represent the unconscious part of the mind. Or, emotions we swim through.
A duck diving into water shows its ability to probe in the dark for the hidden and nameless.
The duck resurfacing with something in its bill, as a dream meaning, could signify new information coming up to be aware of. Or, an issue you're ready to deal with. Identifying the object in question could throw light on what the subject matter may be.
Another interesting aspect of the duck is it's ability to fly high up in the sky – the heavens. And, could represent your essence or Higher Self in its natural habitat.
6. Garbage
A sign that personal transformation is at work. The stink, rot and decay of the old you no longer have use for. But, can be the ultimate fertilizer to help drive a change you want to make for yourself.
7. Iceberg
An exposed part of the unconscious you're now aware of. But, as a dream meaning, could signify a much larger issue lies under the surface.
8. Onion
An onion could signify a truth or secret covered by many layers. And,
to get to the heart of the matter, entails peeling back the layers.
The round shape of an onion lends itself to the shape of a circle, a symbol of wholeness and unity.
A
root vegetable full of medicinal and nutritious properties, onion may
be reminding you to strengthen, grow, and refresh your life by finding
your roots – your real self - and where your life force lives.
9. Plumbing
The hidden workings of the psyche.
Rotten pipelines, twisted plumbing, leaky pipes can show your attention is needed for something going on in the unconscious. And, suggests the flow of water is affected, which could have ties to the way you've been feeling lately.
10. Two-of-a-Kind
Identical pairs or twin figures highlighting information to to be tuned into.
The pairing may be symbolic of a characteristic, attitude, or impression to look at more closely.
Or, the twinning may be emphasizing what is about to come.
What Does Your Gut Say?
The truth is, on some level, you have an inkling about the meaning of a dream you've had.
But,...
It helps to have a frame of reference. And, what better way to lay the groundwork than by singling out an unusual feature you've noticed in your dream.
Why? Because, the chosen item may turn out to be a universal symbol or archetype. And, you can find an explanation for it using a dream dictionary.
Keep in mind, though...
It may take some exploring, and reflection, before catching on to an interpretation that makes the most sense to you. One, you feel in your gut, matches the essence of your dream.
You may even feel a rush of energy once a dream meaning clicks into place. A nice way to prove accuracy, wouldn't you agree? The experience could make for brilliant insight on how your soul reaches out to connect with you.
