Dream meanings - enabling you to interpret your own dreams

FOR FEATURES ON DREAMS SEE DREAM ENCYCLOPEDIA

GOD There are many possibilities here. It might refer to a set of emotions you use to deal with anxiety - i.e. your own belief that a higher power is in charge, so therefore you are okay in the world and are not responsible - thus an escape from responsibility; a parent image from early infancy.

It might refer to a set of moral or philosophical beliefs you hold; self judgement; something/someone you worship

It might be a feeling of connection with humanity; an expression of the fundamental creative/destructive process in yourself; a sense of your living interaction or relationship with all beings and the universe.

Here is one person's desription of God as they met and explored it in a dream.

In the dream "we" were praying to this God, which is at the same time, was ourselves and more than self, and I had insight into how such prayers work or fail. This God that is ourselves and more than ourselves, is not simply separate people doing things in the outer world, it is collective and unified effort, and is both the individual and collective consciousness. It can therefore both receive, be influenced by, and influence, individuals and groups. But because it is the unified consciousness and influence of all living things, its buzzing being is concerned, if that is the right word, with communal well-being, with the whole, with the individual in their relationship with the collective.
Where there is a collective desire, it is so powerful it becomes a certainty in realisation. There is so much power behind it, virtually nothing could stand in its way. Even though at first it is only held in collective mind, It is almost an absolute certainty that it manifest in some way. This is rather like insurance statistics as reliable guide to future events. So if we pray for something that is of value collectively, the power of "God" is behind its manifestation. Unfortunately humanity is so divided and in conflict with what it wants it opposes itself in manifesting a humane world.
But I saw that this is only one form of God. There are many 'levels' of God - but for some people, they see this collective consciousness as the absolute God. See: god and dreams; religion and dreams.

GODDESS In a woman's dream: The unconscious connection you have with all women, and all female creatures; the power of the collective psyche underlying your personality, the mysterious connections with nature and the forces of nature you as a woman tune into through menstruation, child bearing and mothering. Also you are always the heroine of your own life. You are the central character of your own drama of experience. As such you are the deed doer, the heroine or fallen goddess, especially when the dream is portraying dramatic life events.

In a man's dream: Your collective sense of women as a whole and not as individuals; personal fear of female power, usually relating to early experience of your mother; your capacity to love in a transcendent way. See: archetype of the goddess

GOLD The best or most valuable in yourself or in opportunity. A part of you that lasts, that is eternal; what stands the 'acid test' or does not tarnish with time, in terms of personal qualities, such as love, patience or care in work; something you value or want in your life.

If cheap or false: Something you valued but does not deserve respect.

If tarnished: Something beautiful and valuable in yourself, perhaps your spirit, that you have let become soiled.

GOLF See: games.

GORILLA See: gorilla.

GOURD Female sex organ. See: Cup.

GOVERNMENT Either the rules by which you govern your life, or exterior influences you feel governed or influenced by which it is governed, or the inner forces that govern your health, well being. In each case it would probably be wide influences, not from an individual.

GOWN See: Clothes.

GRADUATION The tests you meet in life and relationships; entrance into a new life; the sense of achieving adulthood, or the skill leading to adult independence; probably also associates with your sense of value.

GRAMOPHONE May symbolise memory, due to it being a record player, and replays or records the past.

This may also literally refer to records. That is, memories of your past, perhaps even past lives. Records might also link with whatever you feel about particular music or artists. See: cassette.

GRAPE Because grapes can be used to make alcohol, they often have a special significance, and are very ancient cultural symbols. They depict fruitfulness, fertility, but perhaps fruitfulness of a spiritual kind. So a woman dreaming of them, especially near her belly can assume she is pregnant. But they also signify pleasures of the world, drinking, sex, wealth, and conversely, in Christianity they signify the blood of Christ. That means the essence of human experience. The collective human wisdom. See: alcohol; coffee.

GRASS Growth. Sometimes can mean overgrown thoughts and feelings that need cutting. Multiplicity, countlessness. The innumerable thoughts that can spring up. It can also link with pot.

GRAVE/GRAVEYARD This depicts our thoughts and feelings regarding death. It may relate to your family heritage of attitudes or traditions. Sometimes, but not often, such a dream is about contact with the dead. But more frequently things in our life we have 'buried'. It can also refer to melancholy feelings about life or feeling 'different' to other people; or even a relationship, which we think is 'dead and buried'. See: burial.

GRAVITY Being held down by physical appetites, material ambitions, worldly philosophy. Weighted down by worldly experience.

GREEN This may indicate a process of positive change or some kind of personal growth. Strangely enough, it is often found in dreams about peace and heaven. This suggests it is linked with feelings of relaxation and well-being.

When dark greens occur, this may refer to negative intentions, or the emerging of depressive attitudes, even sickness, envy or jealousy.

There is an obscure but sometimes relevant connection for people who are working to unfold their inner qualities. The green leaves of plants are instrumental in allowing light to become the energy used in transforming the mineral forces of the earth into living tissue. So in some dreams the green shows how your own process of opening to the forces of Light and Life are transforming your lower or less conscious levels of self into greater consciousness and expression. In all it is about transformation. See: Colour.

GREENHOUSE/GLASSHOUSE Can represent either that one has been cosseted or over cared for in life, not exposed to difficulties or harshness - or vulnerable growing parts of oneself or others.

GRENADE Anger, violence, explosive emotions. See: Bomb.

GREY Unhappy, colourless existence. Morbid or serious thoughts. Officiousness. See: Colour

GROTTO See: Cave.

GROUND See: Earth.

GROUP This shows how you feel about being one of a crowd, and what sort of strategies you use for dealing with a group - whether a follower, a leader, a quiet introvert, or an extrovert.

GROVE Similar to Garden, but being trees, specifies the growth or area of your ideas and habitual emotions.

GUARD We guard our language, our thoughts, our actions. The guard can symbolise the morals, social pressures, fears, used in this way. It may also represent a fear of losing something, such as respect, love, social standing, virginity. Can symbolise protection also, such as in the form of a guardian. See: police.

GUIDE The principles that guide your direction in life. They may be a worthy or unworthy guide, depending on the principles or desires by which you are directed. The guide may also be an animal, in which case see it under its heading. Or it may be an intuitive guidance.

GUILLOTINE This is a very graphic image of losing ones head, or being cut off from feelings or the body's needs. See: Body; Head.

GUITAR See: Fiddle.

GULF Is there something separating you from a person, or a situation? The gulf might even be a feeling of some kind that caused a rift between you and an individual or a situation. If the gulf is huge, see Abyss.

GULL See: Birds.

GUM See: Glue.

GUN This could be a sign of urges to hurt someone. It may also signify fear of being attacked and hurt by others, or a sense of inadequacy when facing aggression. For some people the gun relates to a sense of power and strength to meet the world. It is a confidence based on an exterior object. The gun can also represent aggressive or frightening sexuality.

GUNPOWDER See: Dynamite.

GURU Represents your connection with the whole of life, with collective wisdom, or the collective unconscious, as it relates to your life. The guru is not so concerned with physical welfare, as to the realisation of your eternal nature and life as it connects with the whole. Thus the guru in dreams will usually guide you towards greater self understanding, deeper relationships with him/her/self, and instruct you in any necessary disciplines of mind and body. There will be an unfolding to you of the inner meanings, where necessary, of ancient scriptures. The guru really represents your own awareness in the wider awareness beyond the physical senses. Thus, as a dream series develops, if you reach the stage of illumination, you will wake up as the guru, or merge into her/him, or be absorbed in his/her consciousness. This may be frightening, due to fear of losing individuality or ego. But in fact, the guru is your own self. See: Yoga and Dreams.

GYPSY Intuition, psychic faculties, irrational aspects of your feelings, perhaps pressurising you toward things you don't want.
