FOR FEATURES ON DREAMS SEE DREAM ENCYCLOPEDIA

HOLE An error you may fall into, a difficulty you are facing, or a danger that confronts you. A big hole might suggest a descent into the unconscious, memories. A hole, especially with grass, foliage or bushes around it, can represent the female sex organs.

Any hole, tunnel or cave, not only suggest female attributes such as receptiveness, they also indicate the unknown or what is still unconscious. If the tunnel, hole or cave is dimly lit, it suggests aspects of you that are not defined, in the shadows of other more fully expressed qualities. See: Cave and Fall.

A hole can also be an escape route, so you need to define if this is true in your dream.

Holes in clothes, objects: Faults; weaknesses; illness; 'full of holes'.

Holes in body: Sense of weakness; emptiness in ones life such as loneliness; illness; negative feelings about that part of self; see Body for appropriate part.

Hole in head: Letting everyone knew what you think; gossiping.

Hole in road: A difficulty or danger confronting you. Sometimes represents death or death of person falling down the hole.

HOLIDAY This may mean you are feeling relaxed, or changing your feeling state. It may also show you feeling independent; satisfying your own needs; reaching a period of your life in which one can rest on ones laurels.

HOLINESS This often suggests you are meeting something in yourself that incorporates a great deal of your life experience. Often we are just feeling something, or just thinking. But when this sense of holiness occurs it means there is great inclusiveness of your whole nature in what is being realised or experienced. See: Glow.

HOME See: House.

HOMOSEXUAL/HOMOSEXUALITY Each of us have some element of homosexuality in us unconsciously. In your dreams it may suggest a desire for the father or mother's love, perhaps because they were not demonstrative. So you may have been led to crave the love of a man/woman.

In many dreams it simply means you are claiming the opposite side of your personality.

It can also show conflict or anxiety about your own gender; feelings of sexual inadequacy, or inadequacy in your own gender

For some people it shows unconscious pain in regard to the opposite sex - this may be rationalised into reasons for being homosexual rather than being experienced and made conscious; depicting an introversion of ones sexual drive.

Sometimes, being the receptive partner in the same sex relationship suggests inturned or repressed sexual drive, possibly through trauma, fear or inability to meet full woman/man.

HONEY Often this represents the fruit of your labours, the summary of your experience and/or work. Its mystical symbolism, arising from its use as a promise in the Bible, the land of milk and honey, suggests the reward of spiritual labours, or facing self and dealing with inharmonious conditions.

HOOK Something with a catch in it. You can be hooked on drugs, drink or love for someone, hook on to an idea, opportunity. Questioning.

HORIZON The limit of your present perceptions.

HORNS Protectiveness; desire to hurt; the animal in the human - as in the form of Pan; sexuality or the penis.

HORSE The horse is a beautiful symbol found throughout human history, in all arts, and unconscious experiences. Basically the horse represents instincts, energy, sexual desires, but drives that have to some extent become 'tamed' or directed. If the horse is wild and riderless it shows that these energies are strong enough to express themselves despite the anxiety of your thoughts or moral conscience. If the horse is ridden, then it means such energies are being directed. But sometimes dreams suggest that although a horse is being ridden, it ought to be given free rein, which indicates excessive conscious control of your feelings, and the need to slacken your hold on self.

In folklore and religion we also find mention of the winged horse. This symbolises the sexual or instinctive drives that have not been repressed, but allowed, in conjunction with consciousness and reason, to develop the higher possibilities latent in them. Physical passion and love can transmute into spiritual or fraternal love and passion. This lifts consciousness, the rider, into higher realms of experience.

Finally, the Mare represents a woman, the earth. femininity, receptiveness, fertility, peace. The Stallion represents a male, fieriness, masculinity, power, virility. war. See also further description of horse.

HOTEL New areas of self. Attitudes in self that may not be permanent. States of mind or being in which you are lodging, holidaying, or passing through on your way to somewhere else. Luxury and ease.

HOUND Something that persists, or hunts out your attention or fear. See: Haunt.

HOUSE Usually represents yourself, and your different activities or departments in life. Mostly the house represent your body, but particularly the aspects of your personality you can associate with your body. For instance the upper floor of your physical house/body is your head or thinking. So the upstairs might be associated with thinking, the downstairs with sex or reproduction.

This becomes obvious if, having visited different friends houses, you judge their character by the condition of the house.

But a house is a massive symbol and it can link with many aspects of you and your life. So to really get from your dream house what it refers to you also need to ask yourself what type of house it is. For instance how old is it and how does that refer to your age and what period of social attitudes your were born in and influenced by. What social strata does the house represent and what environment does it stand in? Then, in what way are you influenced by or developed from that social background. If we then go into the house, what is happening inside, and whereabouts in the house? This indicates things, feelings, past influences you are presently dealing with.

As a person you have many facets and possibilities, and the various parts of the house depict these. The interaction between these facets are what make you who you are. Understanding them enables you to find your way through the things you face in yourself and the world. The condition of repair also suggests your health or the way you care for yourself.

In many dreams a cellar represents the unconscious; kitchen the ability to make life palatable or to create and provide, as in giving of time and energy to family; sitting room relaxation and leisure activities; library or bookshelf the intellect or wisdom; bedroom your sexual life, or state of being awake or asleep to something; attic, your idealism and high mindedness, or perhaps desire to get away from people, or maybe memories, things from the past; lavatory your relief from tension or letting go of parts of self unnecessary to you; bathroom, your attempts to come clean with self, or the removal of grime and dirt acquired from your mental emotional contacts with life and people. The roof depicts protection, security, shelter, or the family atmosphere under which you find shelter and comfort. To take someone under your roof is to share with them the family atmosphere and goods. The foundations of the hosue symbolise the basic attitudes and processes upon which your life is built. An ancient house could refer to a previous life in some way connected with your present existence. See: For fuller insight into house - House in Your Dream; Basement, Stairs, Window, Glass, Door, Furniture.

HOUSEWORK The cleaning out of non functional - negative - attitudes, thoughts and experience; keeping our internal house in order, perhaps by taking time to clarify or define motives, opinions and feelings about others.

HUNGER Your need for what sustains you, emotionally, mentally or physically. We sometimes lose hope, faith or strength, and this hunger represents the inner need felt at such times. See: Food.

HURT Have you been wounded by what other people have said or done. Is there some event from the past that still hurts in some way.

HUSBAND This most likely depicts how you feel about the relationship with your husband; your relationship with your sexuality; sexual and emotional desire and pleasure; how you relate to intimacy in body, mind and spirit; habits of relationship developed with your father.

Dead husband returning in dream: If you have lost your husband, there is often a time of grief which, if not dealt with well, becomes an inner pain. So your husband may figure in your dreams in a way that helps you deal with grief. These dream series will end in love and acceptance if you van meet any difficult feelings that emerge.

HUSK The face value, the outer quality under which may hide beauty, nutrition, wisdom. It can also relate to past hurts which have been released, but which leaves the ghosts of their influence in you.

HYENA See other entry on hyena.

HYPNOSIS Being influenced by the suggestions of who or what hypnotises in the dream. Becoming receptive and surrendering to the hypnotic symbol. Whether this is good or bad must depend upon who or what it is in the dream to which one surrenders control. In a symbolical sense generally wrong unless consciousness is maintained during the hypnosis, but must depend on the dream contents.
