GALESee: Air.

GAMES Games often indicate your skill in dealing with life and relationships. Like life, some games have real danger and real rewards. Such games as tennis are especially associated with relationship, possibly about top-dog/under-dog feelings too. So the 'game' being played might well be a way of exploring what is a useful stance to take in your life situation or in a sexual relationship.

GANG A group of fears, aggressive tendencies, or parts of yourself. It may also suggest your need to conform to a group, or to follow a leader.

GAOL Feelings of being restrained by your environment, morals, philosophy.

GARAGE Depends how you see your garage, or if you have one. It may be a tool shed, workshop, frozen food store, storeroom, as well as a car park. So you need to define how you feel while in it. Is it a quiet place to go to; a functional store area; a place to create?

Car repair garage: Need for personal attention or 'repairs' to your ambition, drive, or ability to motivate yourself. Reserves of drive, energy, motivation; abilities, personal 'tools' to meet life; resources; things you do not need but can't let. See: Car.

GARBAGE Ideas, opinions, emotions you or society have discarded. We must realise, however, that all thought and feeling are expressions of our inner energy. As such, while we discard an expression of the energy, we must not discard the energy lest it leave us empty and unsatisfied. This is why garbage, or compost, must be thought of as material capable of being used in a new form.

GARBAGE CAN See: Dustbin.

GARDEN Your garden dream often reveals what you are doing with your latent possibilities. It is pointing out whether you have cultivated your abilities, or buried them.

A garden is sometimes a place of love in a dream. In which case it can denote what is growing or dying in your relationship. Another garden theme is connected with activities we do in the garden, like pets we keep, or work done. This connects with what is growing in the area of your natural urges, the pets, and what you are doing that is socially visible, the work in the garden.

A pool or swimming pool in the garden usually relates to shared experience, times when you felt at-one with people, or someone in particular. See: Digging; Pool.

GARDNER The down to earth but wise aspect of yourself; the wisdom or insights gathered through life experience, from which you can direct your own growth and life to integrate the many parts of your nature; the process in each of us - the Christ - that synthesises life experience, and considers what love, what resonance with all life there is in us.

GARRET See: Attic.

GAS If referring to dangerous airy substance: Harmful thoughts, insinuated evil masquerading as ideas or refined feelings.

If referring to car fuel: See: Fuel.

GASOLINE Emotional or sexual energy. See: Fuel

GASPING See: Asthma.

GATE Some sort of barrier or boundary, as for instance the feelings that keep us out of someone elses garden or house. The opening and closing of such a gate points to the feelings of permission or refusal we give ourselves. It may also refer to the boundary or gate between the conscious and unconscious - open to allow selected memory - closed to prevent massive flooding of impressions.

The gate can also portray the passage from one period of life, or level of maturity, to another. Therefore, to stand before adolescence, parenthood, death, might be shown as facing a gate in a dream.

Also: Similar to door - entrance to something different - or to someone else's life, as in marriage; change, depending on the dream. See: Door.

GAY See: Homosexual.

GAZE Concentration, attempt to influence.

GEESE/GOOSE Freedom; your soul; wanderlust; foolishness or group conformity. In some cases you might use the goose as a symbol for life long relationship.

GEM See: Jewels..

GEOMETRY The balance, connection and relationship of things in your life and especially within your mind and memories. The unconscious particularly loves symbols to represent abstract and subtle realisations about yourelf and life. Because nature forms many such patterns it can refer to the structure within yourself that gives you a sense of identity and existence amidst the many shifting forces of life.

Geometry Class: Learning about how things in your life relate or function together. If you have been in a geometry class it would link with how you felt about the class.

GENITALS Usually directly refers to sexual feelings, fears, desires, plans, hopes, of a sexual nature. Sometimes refers to your sex as a whole either man or woman.

GENIUS May represent feelings of inferiority or superiority, or even be similar to Guru, depending on dream.

GERMS A hidden worry, or something invisible weakening your health. The germs or virus may also represent a feeling that you may be absorbing a bad influence from another person - depending on the dream. It may be directly a fear about your health, or even an intuition about a viral or bacterial attack.

GERMINATION A part of yourself that has been quickened to life and growth by some influence, such as love, interest, change of heart, understanding or personal growth.

GESTURE Most gestures we make in dreams symbolise some inner state of being. To understand them it is best to imitate the gesture and thereby see what it expresses. For instance, there are the typical gestures of fear, anger, tenderness.

Gesture may also be a way of communicating something that is still not put into words, not clear. Or occasionally gesture or posture is a way of changing your inner condition. For example by taking a positive posture, or making a confident gesture, this might shift feelings of uncertainty. See Posture.

GEYSER Expression of emotions under pressure.

GHOST An old memory, an old fear, or the past, that haunts you or comes back to you. May represent a guilt, fear of death, intuitive knowledge, dread of the unknown, or things you have done that you have tried to bury and forget. In Eastern terminology, it may be your karma, the accumulated results of actions and thoughts.

Occasionally the ghost represents contact with those who are dead.

GHOUL This is usually some repressed part of your life that haunts and terrifies you. When explored, these usually turn out to be images describing a frightening event that happened in childhood, or in the past, or fears you are keeping unconscious in the present.

GIANT If you are the giant, then it might mean you have feelings of power over others, or you are a big person. On the other hand, it might suggest you feel inferior and are compensating.

If someone else is the giant. then it may symbolise your relationship with them, such as feelings of inferiority, powerlessness, fear. If you take the trouble to understand what the other person signifies, apart from their size, it is often found they represent one of your emotions, fears, or ambitions, that have become too big for you to handle and have grown to giant proportions.

A giant in a dream can also depict feelings you had about parents who, in your childhood, were giants physically and emotionally.

GIFT Intuition; unconscious knowledge; what is received in a relationship - such as support, sense of worth, acceptance. Giving gift: Giving of self; hoping receiver accepts or likes one.

Receiving unwanted gift: Difficulties in accepting someone, or something from within; pregnancy

GIRDLE or CORSET Sexual restraint, or the restraint of pride or vanity that shows only as an outer facade, and does not bring about inner changes.

GIRL A girl usually represent your feelings, young sexuality; vulnerability. But it depends what age you are and what gender.

In male's dream: Emotions; sexual feelings; daughter. But a young girl can also be used to depict a new pattern, a new opportunity to relate to a female. In contrast to an old woman, the girl is a shift from old patterns of relationship you may have developed with your mother or a wife. So she could represent a development in you away from old and perhaps destructive patterns.

In a female's dream: Oneself at that age - whether older of younger; feelings about sister or daughter; the aspect of oneself portrayed by the girl. The young girl, depending on your age, could depict a new aspect of yourself emerging or being met.

Another girl with your man: How you deal with your sense of being wanted; anxiety about not being attractive or lovable; suspicion; a side of yourself which relates you differently to your man.

GIRLFRIEND Your emotional feelings, attachment to, the girlfriend ; the difficulties, struggles with feelings and sexuality felt in connection with girlfriend or other males; your insights into her behaviour.

Ex-girlfriend : Any feelings or hopes still connected with her; the ex-girlfriend or lover often becomes a symbol for all the hopes for love that are not being satisfied at the moment, or in the present relationship; occasionally the past.

GIVING Giving and receiving are fundamental in any relationship. You can give time, support, money, sex, information. So giving in a dream usually indicates some sort of relationship. But you need to define what or who it is you are relating, and what is the giving exchange. This clarifies what you are giving, receiving or rejecting. See: Receive.

GLACIER Emotional tension, repression; fear of living or expressing your feelings or emotions; frozen chunk of past experience.

GLASS Glass represent the invisible but powerful feeling or social barriers we use in everyday life. These include caution, emotional coldness, disinterest, fear of being hurt or pride. By a subtle attitude of talking down to someone we can shut them out of close contact.

Frosted or smoked glass: Barriers or social techniques you use to gain privacy. It can also suggest keeping parts of yourself hidden, or an obscure or unclear view of a situation. Occasionally it relates to death - the very real yet obscure experience we all face.

Breaking glass: What barrier are you breaking through, what restraint? It might also mean shattered emotions.

Breaking something made of glass: Breaking a relationship; shattering an illusion; broken hearted.

Stepping on broken glass: Glass may not be very visible, so may represent hidden dangers; being careless about direction in life or present situation; or if it is being done without heed to injury, represents self inflicted pain.

GLASSES/SPECTACLES These usually refer to your ability to 'see' or understand something clearly. They might also suggest a sort of mask to hide behind, as with sunglasses. Terms like 'short-sighted' or 'long-sighted' help to understand the use of glasses in a dream.

GLISTEN See: Glow.

GLOBE Wholeness, your complete nature, symmetry or proportion. Usually refers to the soul or spirit, in the same way as a square or cube often represents the physical in a dream. Or it may represent the world. Sometimes the globe is in divisions denoting the different faculties or aspects of your nature.

GLOVE Insularity against the world. It may also be an invitation, like a dropped glove, or handkerchief. Can stand for a hand without any life in it. Protection, or the attitude of avoiding contact, or something that does or does not fit in some way. See: Clothes

GLOW/GLOWING When something glows with an inner light, it means that it is expressing the inner energies. It shows something that contains a great deal of yourself, and often links your individual awareness with the whole. The actual form will probably symbolise some personal quality, through which the wholeness expresses. It is the inner light, not the form, that expresses the connection with the whole. But from the form you can understand which part of you is relaying direct influence or guidance. See: Dark; Light.

GLUE One can be glued to the television, or a book. It can therefore symbolise emotional and intellectual involvement, empathy, sympathy or love.

GNARLED The marks of time and work. The difficulties and struggles of life, but often displayed as wisdom or inner power.

GNAW Something may be eating away at you inside, such as conscience, worry. What is gnawing represents the source of worry. Gnawing can also mean attacking a problem or situation, or link with hunger for something. See: Eating.

GNOME A part of our personality left undeveloped or not integrated. For instance we may have musical ability which was suppressed by the need to bring up children; a part of self malformed by painful childhood experience or lack of emotional nourishment. It may therefore be a link with our unconscious. See: Fairy.

GOAL Your aims, ambitions. The goal may also refer to the purposefulness of your unconscious drives. There could also be a link with winning or losing, as in sport. Therefore success or failure.

GOAT Rutting masculine sexuality, or if a female goat the fertility and procreative power; ability to climb, personally or socially; tough ability to survive difficulties. Sometimes connected with repressed natural drives which become reversed or evil/live when symbolising the devil - or the animal drives or instinctive and pooled consciousness prior to ego development if connected with Pan.

Somebody butting into your life, or conflict with someone if the goat is attacking. Also sure-footedness or meeting difficulties with ease. Or you might use the goat to represent being a scapegoat.

If you have kept goats it may well represent responsibility or caring. If you have bred them you might use the goat to depict your own reproductive urges.

In the Bible the goat represents the bad guys in the phrase 'separating the sheep from the goats'. See other entry on goat.
