FERRY This suggests movement toward change, or connections in a relationship. It might suggest work if you often use a ferry in such a way. It is sometimes connected with death or a new life. It is also e means of moving beyond emotions that barred progress or development, such as a child’s feeling of being dependant on its parents, or pain in a relationship.

It can help to ask yourself what you are moving toward on the ferry in the dream.

FEVER May be a sign of bad health, or symbol of great stress and emotion that in its intensity is burning out its own causes, and thus ridding you of the worries or insecurities that produced it.

FIDDLE As this is associated with music, or skill as a musician, it probably shows you expressing your innate potential with skill - or otherwise of the fiddle is not being played well. It might also relate to ' fiddling about' and so suggest you are doing nothing constructive. Or you can be 'on the fiddle' and so be attempting to cheat. You can 'play second fiddle' or 'first fiddle' and thus realise how you feel about a relationship or situation in which you are second best, or in the limelight. It can also represent sexual intercourse, or even masturbation.

FIELD Your feelings of relaxation, or your natural feelings. Fields also suggest freedom from social pressure, and the feeling you have about yourself when away from other people, with one's own natural inclinations. A field can also represent an area of activity, or an aspect of your life given to a particular thing. If there is a particular environment in the field, such as bright sunshine, or the field is overgrown, then it may suggest a particular feeling state about yourself.

Field across river or very green fields: Death or your concept of spiritual realm.

FIESTA See: Carnival.

FIGHT/FIGHTING Most often this expresses feelings of anger you may have been holding back during waking. But it can also, like a war scene in a dream, point to an area of conflicting feelings or interests.

Occasionally a fight can express feelings not so much of aggression, but of struggle for what is right for you; a fight for your 'space', a fight against urges in yourself, or influence from other people. This could be a fight for independence. See: War.

FILM Sometimes a way of looking at a part of your behaviour, or experimenting with feelings, as something outside of you, rather than confronting them as part of yourself. Therefore it might be a part your own past or character which you do not wish to acknowledge. The theme of the film is usually important, because it will illustrate something relevant to your own life. In some cases it it a urge to escape from what is pressing in your life.

FILM STAR See: Famous People

FILTH See: Cesspool and Faeces.

FIND/FINDING/FOUND This suggests the realisation of something, as when you find the solution to a problem. It can also mean change, as with finding a new direction or relationship. Sometimes what you find is a clearer realisation of your own identity or qualities.

FINGER Fingers can be expressive of your feelings. It can be the finger of scorn; accusing finger; finger of suspicion; beckoning finger, or to put your finger on it. Fingers represent your grasp on things, your method of materialising yourself, or leaving your mark upon matter. Therefore your personal skills.

The finger can represent the penis, as is common use in sex-play: or your means of sensing. or fingering things.

Fingers can, as the wedding ring finger, suggest something like marriage.

The finger print also denotes your uniqueness.

FIRE More than anything else fire represents the process of life. Just as with all living things, fire needs to be fed to remain alive. So a fire burning low could show your life process at a low ebb.

Fire can also can depict your burning love, fiery passion, emotional fever, pain or purification. Fire is a tremendous energy that we learn to use even when quite young. So it can refer to how you use powerful emotional energies that can support or destroy. Fire can show an emergency, or a sudden and difficult change.

Like energy in general, fire can warm, produce power, purify, bring about chemical change; or it can consume, destroy, injure, run amuck. It is therefore often used as a symbol for your relationship with your own powerful energies - sex, anger, ambition, fear.

Also fire can stand for suffering of a mental or even physical nature. Or it can depict the destruction some of your feelings, passions or anger can do.

Standing in, or being in flames, can therefore suggest either purification, the burning out of old attitudes or experiences, or deep personal suffering.

To use fire for selfish ends, in mythology, has often produced terrible guilt or reactions. Probably because it shows a selfish expression of the life-giving energy.

Sometimes fire can also be warning of illness.

FIREMAN Represents those of your qualities capable of dealing with your energies, burning desires, or emotional emergencies. See: Roles.

FISH Fish represent the living processes of thought and feeling that go on under the surface of your mind. To fish is therefore to seek and bring to light, your inner feelings, or spiritual realisation. Fishes symbolise the ideas, feelings, treasures or sustenance of our inner, unconscious life.

To be swallowed by a fish, as was Jonah, and other legendary heroes, represents a period of terrific, and sometimes terrifying, introversion. At such times we see under the waters of the unconscious, and know what it is like to live in the irrational. But if the quest is based on a trust in your own wholeness, your integral part in the whole, then you survive this irrational state, as Jonah did.

You can also fish for compliments or information. Or something can be fishy, not quite right. Fish can have a sexual significance also, and may represent fertility, pre-natal experience, or life in the waters of the womb. In a woman's dream, if it includes a fish, many small fishes in a bowl or small tank, it can represent pregnancy.

In the Christian mysteries the fish signifies Christ or the collective consciousness of humanity.

In the English language some idioms illustrate the possible ways fish might be used in your dream. (If you have a different native language, think of the idioms in your own language.) Someone can be a 'cold fish' meaning unfeeling. You can be a 'small fish in a big pond' or vice versa. You can be a 'fish out of water' or a 'queer fish'. See: Sea.

FISHING Creating a receptive state of consciousness which allows the deep insights or processes to become known; trying to find spiritual nourishment; 'fishing' for ideas; compliments or information; seeking intuition.

Fishing rod: Male sexuality; personal power, or feelings of impotence. Getting a new fishing rod: In a man's dream might mean feeling anxious about his ability to 'hook' a woman. For a woman it could mean a desire to 'catch' a new man. In general the rod suggests the means of pulling something out of the unknown of life or your mind. So it could suggest intuition of skill in acquiring the new, or something that nourishes.

FIST Graspingness, selfishness, anger, arrogance, aggressiveness. tension.

FIVE The human body; human consciousness in the body; the hand; sometimes called the number of marriage because it unites all the previous numbers - 1+4 and 2+3; the five senses.

The alchemists called this quintessence, because it arises from the other four elements. It symbolises the human, due to two arms. two legs and head, as in a five pointed star. It is the unity that arises from the four elements, or aspects of self. Five may also represent your hand or foot. Mostly the symbol of man incarnated in a physical body, and functioning therein. Here, all four aspects of being are expressing in a fifth quality, physical life and consciousness. Astrological sign is Leo, the king. The fifth house of the horoscope relates to children or offspring, and Leo rules the heart. See: Numbers..

FLAG This can represent pride, either as ones connection with the group as in nationalism, or as an individual. The flag is also used to depict occasions of rejoicing such as marriage or victory, or mourning as with someone's death.

FLAMES Life itself - our life as it moves through experience leaving only memories; the mystery of consciousness underlying our personality; passion or anger. A spark or flame passed on from one person to another, as a candle lit from another. This suggests an influence, something ignited in one from the other person. So one can also have an 'old flame', meaning a past lover. Flames therefore depict the mystery of life, or self awareness, passed from one person to another, as culture itself is passed on. See: Fire.

FLASHLIGHT See: Searchlight.

FLESH If this is human flesh it suggest the vital life, or processes that keep you alive. It is something that is essentially an expression of the person whose flesh it is. It might in some dreams suggest a part of yourself so linked with another person, that if they go, that part of you is torn out. Flesh is the most sensitive part of you, so your feelings. It is also bodily life, so the urges of the body.

Marks on the flesh: Because the flesh is what your life has created, your fate, or karma, any marks suggest something that you carry with you as your fate, or destiny. Some experience has marked you. The story of Cain and Able illustrates this.

Flesh eaten away: Feeling that life is draining you, or you are under great stress. See: Body; Meat.

FLOAT Often appears in dreams where the dreamer is getting close to someone of the opposite sex and some aspect of sexual feeling is present; an experience of awareness expanding beyond the usual boundaries of the persons beliefs or of their physical senses. .

On water: Relaxation; opening to power beyond the ego; being indecisive; being carried along by events. To be moved by passing feelings instead of by inner purpose. To be hopeful and buoyant. See: Flying

FLOCKS Any flock of animals or birds suggests the feelings of conformity or unconscious social drives that move you. Or to follow blindly. In Christianity the flock is said to be cared for by an abiding spirit of love. In some drams this is felt.

FLOOD This usually indicates powerful and difficult emotions causing you to feel swamped and threatened by their intensity.

The flood can of course be a release of positive feelings like love. In any case, floods can be enriching to growth if handled well. In many flood dreams it is positive energy the dreamer is anxious about. See: Deluge.
