SIGNIFICANCE OF DREAMS

One of my friends told me that her daughter was having some weird dreams lately. The girl had dreamt that she lost four teeth and I guess is rather worried that something ominous might happen. I am not too sure about that. What I know is that if we dream of someone dying then it means that that particular person will be able to overcome some danger. So this is a good sign. I have to refer the matter to my sifu and get back to her later. While we are on the subject of dreams, I would like to dwell on this subject today.

Dreams represent what our subconscious side wants to tell us and very often these messages are hidden in cryptic symbolism and imagery.

From an article on the significance of dreams that I had read, dreaming of talking creatures signify the potential to proceed beyond perceived limitations and go on to achieve greater success. Dreaming of creatures flying or singing would mean success. I don't think I have ever had such dreams before.

If we dream of household pets or ordinary creatures that are commonly found then it would mean that all is well.

Below examples of animals and what they signify if they appear in our dreams.

Bee - good earnings

Birds - prosperity, good news and family happiness.

Butterfly - major change in ones life

Cow - great prosperity in all venture but also indication of need for caution

Dogs - advancement and success due to good personal values and intent.

Dragon - good luck and excellent fortune

Elephant - dignity and distinction

Fishes - happiness, abundance, fertility and pregnancy.

Rooster - birth of new ideas

Snake - ability to know good from bad

Tiger - overcoming opposition and rising to a higher position

Tortoise - opportunity for advancement

Yellow bird - good luck in financial affairs

I know that many Chinese people would go and buy numbers from the gaming offices after dreaming of an animal. I did not dream of an animal lately but had dreamt that my late father appeared in my dreams and kept indicating to me the number 290. My aunt Linda says that since my dad is a male, I should add 8 in front to make it 8290. If it is a female, we add 7. Well, if you are interested, why not give the number a try. Have a happy weekend!!!
