DREAM INTERPRETER
Dream meanings - enabling you to interpret your own dreams
Tony Crisp
HEN Motherly feelings; something to do with being female or caring for young. See: Chicken.
HELPER OR ASSISTANT This relates to your own problem solving abilities or your strength and skill to deal with or heal what confronts you. Sometimes this embodies feelings such as security or love that have, in the past, enabled you to meet difficulties or situations.
HERB Healing, or some particular influence such as drowsiness, stimulation, cleansing.
HERMIT Sometimes symbolises a desire to escape the demands of the world. Or a hermit is the representative of your inner feelings. This means the part of or inner strata of your mind that is not involved in external life. See: archetype of the hermit.
HERO/HEROINE The courage to face up to self and wrestle with problems or trials, as represented by the twelve labours of Hercules. See: archetype of the hero/ine
HIDE/HIDDEN/HIDING You may be hiding from feeling, or avoiding awareness of something you don't want to see. Are you being protective - hiding how you really feel about someone, or about your sexual feelings concerning someone.
Hiding a body or object: Not facing difficult feelings connected with the body or thing.
Hiding from something dangerous, or dangerous thing hidden: Feeling threatened either by unconscious contents or an exterior situation.
HILL Difficulty, obstacle, something needing energy with which to deal with it. A hill also symbolises the climb to higher attainment, wider view of life or opportunities. You climb to success, or go down hill to failure, illness, death. You can see further from above, or be overshadowed at the foot. Hills also sometimes represent breasts or bellies. See: mountain.
A hole at the bottom of a hill: Especially if surrounded by shrubs, depicts the vagina.
Going downhill: Feeling as if circumstances are pushing you; feeling you might, or have, lost control; the second half of your life, or old age.
Going up hill: Difficulties; hard work or effort; the first half of our life; or life itself if it feels like an uphill struggle.
Green sunny hillside: Feeling whole; a sense of heaven.
On a hill: A clear view of our situation; achievement; something we have made an effort to attain; expanded awareness
HIPPOPOTAMUS Weight. power through physical weight and size. See: Other entry on hippo..
HIT/HITTING Apart from aggressiveness, you may hit on an idea, hit on the answer.
Hitting in a dream is an expression of energy or aggression, often fear.
Being Hit suggests either that in some way you are turning back your aggression - beating yourself up - or that you feel attacked by someone else.
If you are hitting a child, it suggests you are still trying to destroy or repress the development of your own child self. In other words, as a child events, parental or social punishment or restrictions, may have held back your emerging curiosity, enthusiasm, sexuality, or love. Maybe these things were crushed. But they are still within you to resurrect, and will call out to be healed. So the hitting would be a continuation of the repression that you received in your early years.
HOE Efforts of self cultivation, and weeding Out faults. See: Garden.
HOLD/HOLDING/HELDThis is complex. It might be that you are trying to control something - as when you hold your breath. You might be trying to control how you feel about someone or something - as when you hold on to something or someone in a dream.
Holding something enable you to manipulate, or create. So you need to define if what you are holding, or the way you are holding, in the dream, has this sort of quality.
Are you trying to protect something or someone by holding? Or are you holding in a possessive way? This might mean an attempt at ownership and not sharing.
Is the holding a sign or responsibility, as when you are holding a baby? Or is it an expression of tenderness, as when you are holding someone?
