Dream meanings - enabling you to interpret your own dreams

FOR FEATURES ON DREAMS SEE DREAM ENCYCLOPEDIA

EMERALD Unless you have personal associations with this jewel, it suggests growth and connection with living things. See: Jewels..

EMERGENCY Something you are feeling anxious or stressed about. The dream might even be a warning, but check out the anxiety aspect first.

If this is an emergency call to the police or ambulance, then it is an important call for help or support, and you need to ask yourself what it is you are trying to get help or support for.

EMPEROR Sometimes this figure, like king, represents feelings about your father. It may indicate your need for approval or parental blessing, or what feelings or needs you are 'ruled' by.

A ruling figure like this also can represent the whole, the will of collective humanity. See: King.

EMIGRATION The changing of habits, ideas. The search for self. A change of direction in life.

EMPTY This usually signifies the lack of something like pleasure, enthusiasm, good feelings. So it can mean loneliness; lack of relationship; sense of isolation. Or it can suggest your potential; opportunity; space to be yourself. This depends on the dream context.

Empty house, buildings, shell: Outgrown habits or ways of life; old attitudes; death; or/and potential.

ENCIRCLE/ENCLOSED/ENCLOSURE This can indicate protection or defensiveness, depending on the dream. Either way, the enclosure and what it is made up of has been built by your own attitudes and fears. See: Circle.

ENCRUST Things, ideas, habits, that have collected around, or overlaid whatever the symbol represents. A dirt encrusted mirror would represent the lack of ability to look at self, or to see yourself as you are, due to material or earthly desires and values.

ENCYCLOPAEDIA Memory, inner knowledge; collective human wisdom, so may depict connection with the collective unconscious. See: Book.

END This can mean many different things. Think of how it is used in language to help understand this. It can be a goal, a point of change, a release or the finishing of something, as with death.

End of path or road: The end of one's life; the boundary of what one already knows or has done; end of a relationship especially if walking with person.

End of tunnel or cave: Finding the way out of a difficult or depressed stage of life.

End of table or queue: Feeling left out, unconsidered, forgotten; putting oneself last.

END OF WORLD Such dreams can reflect anxiety about the future, such as many people experienced in connection with atomic war during the cold war. Even though such a war never came, the anxiety dogged many people's lives for years. They also show the person inwardly recognising that enormous changes are occurring within them that will eventually produce shifts in the way they live and feel about themselves.

ENEMA May be a memory of infant experiences that has left terrors within. Inner cleansing of unnecessary material and outworn habits.

ENEMY The person or group you are pitted against represent something, probably within yourself, that you are in conflict with. Such dreams show you parts of yourself you struggle with. Jung called this the Shadow, the aspects of yourself you are frightened of, or repress for one reason or another. Enemies in dreams usually refer to some facet of this. Though it may simply depict something you are struggling with, a relationship for instance, or feelings about work.

ENERGY See: Electricity.

ENGINE This represent your energy, or your heart and central drive. Especially if it is a car engine. Also it can represent the automatic processes of life in your body the things that can run by themselves if given the right stimulus.

ENTER/ENTERING/ENTRANCE This suggests something new happening, perhaps a new opportunity or a new experience.

A secret or magical entrance: An attitude or psychological 'stance' which opens a new experience of yourself, or allows access to parts of yourself usually inaccessible. See: Door.

ENVELOPE The body, surroundings, protection or a means of hiding something.

ENVIRONMENT - See: place.

ERUPTION A breaking into consciousness of repressed urges, fears, terrors, or even insights and healing. Basically a healing process, but it can be disturbing.

ESCAPE If you escaped in the dream, then you know of some way to emerge from the restrictions of fears, attitudes, ignorance or beliefs, that have been holding you in some way. There is a negative aspect of this however, as sometimes we escape from something to run from difficulties or avoid growing.

EUNUCH Without sexual feelings. Sexuality has been cut off.

EVE The power of sensual seduction. Eve stands for the soul or personality. Also feelings, femininity, or the receptiveness of your feelings to sensations and thus to temptations. She can also represent a man’s wife; or in another sense his emotional sexual relationships with her. See: Adam and Eve

EVENING This may mean a period of relaxation, an end to effort, or the subtler, less obvious or shadowy things about yourself. It also may refer to the later years of your life.

EVERGREEN Symbolises the eternal as it expresses through matter with its quality of constant change.

EVIL Evil is 'live' spelt backwards. In dreams the sense or presence of evil is often depicting those things you have so repressed that they are no longer properly alive and healthy. They therefore need meeting and being brought into proper recognition and expression.

Urges such as sex, that frighten us, or we have been taught to be ashamed of, may appear as devils or demons in your dreams.

EXAMS/EXAMINED/EXAMININGIf your dream relates to exams or being examined, it usually points to some uncertainty in yourself, or perhaps some sort of search for deeper understanding if it is a positive experience. If there is anxiety in the dream it may relate to a way of feeling about yourself that your learned at school, due to exams and their results.

Being examined can also show you examining yourself to see who you are.

Being examined by a doctor: This suggests you are concerned about your health, or there is something about your health that needs attention, or that you like being looked at and touched.

EXCREMENT See: Faeces.

EXECUTION See: Death.

EXPLOSION May represent anger. See: Eruption; Dynamite.

EYES Your intelligence and ability to see or realise things. Consciousness and knowledge, curiosity. Sometimes used as word play instead of I. In such cases it often represents looking at yourself, an eye looking at I. Many eyes are a recognised symbol for greater awareness, intuition, psychic impressions and your innermost feelings.

Looking in someone’s eyes: Intimacy and understanding.

Loss of sight in right eye: Not seeing what is going on in the outside world.

Loss of sight in left eye: Not seeing what you are really thinking or feeling; not aware of self, motives, behaviour; no 'in-sight'.
