Dream meanings - enabling you to understand your own dreams

FOR FEATURES ON DREAMS SEE DREAM ENCYCLOPEDIA

ROAD The direction you are pursuing. Each such direction cannot help but lead you to a particular point in life. A road is your destiny, much of it self created by your decisions and predispositions. A road can symbolise any direction you have taken, or are thinking of taking. A love affair, marriage, business, where will they lead you? In the dream you try to look at the possibilities of these roads, and where they go. The size, richness, poverty, cleanliness of the dream road comments on how you see these avenues you have taken. See: Alley; Crossroad; Cul-de-Sac; Motorway-Freeway.

ROAR Aggressiveness, warning.

ROBOT/ROBOTIC Can suggest several thing, perhaps the most common being responses that are automatic or not thought about, acting purely on social or imprinted - perhaps through pain - responses. The robot in some dreams is linked with the future and how we feel about it. It also can suggest being defended, in the sense of armour defending against hurt, so having no feelings. This might be expressed as being a zombie.

ROCK Solidity, strength, foundation, steadfastness in the face of storms, problems, emotions. The rock has often symbolised security, refuge and protection on the physical or social level. As a characteristic it represents rigidity or being unmoved in face of opposition. Inwardly it signifies faith that can see you through turmoil. Mentally it represents the ability to understand, and not be moved.

If the rock is sculpted in any way it shows what you have done with your life that will last through time, what has impressed itself upon eternity.

Rocks or stones are the nearest material thing we have to eternity. They thrust up from the deeps of the earth. As upright columns they are often used as phallic symbols. They are placed upon graves, symbolical of the spirit outlasting the decaying flesh. As symbols of eternity they are used to mark places where holy experiences have happened, or where a person contacted the divine. In temples a rock was the original altar, or contact with eternity, upon which you sacrificed or surrendered yourself.

ROCKET Male sexuality; feeling threatened from relationship with male; energy directed in a way to gain greater awareness of yourself, a wider viewpoint. See: Spaceship.

ROD Your will, or your aggressive force. The penis.

ROLES The different roles people play in your dreams, such as actor, lawyer, soldier or cook, usually represent the different abilities, weaknesses or interests you have yourself. It doesn't matter if you know the person in the role. Therefore define what skills the person in the role has, and see what the dream is commenting on them in regard to yourself.

If it is you in the role the different roles you play in your dreams, such as actor, lawyer, soldier or cook, usually represent the different abilities, weaknesses or interests you have. We all have different roles in everyday life. So a woman can be cook, lover, mother, counsellor, accountant, etc. A man can be a worker, gardener, father, handyman or builder, a chauffeur, and so on. What is important is to see if you can get at is why the dream is showing you in that role and how it is relevant to your life at the moment. Therefore define what skills the role has, and see what the dream is commenting on them in regard to yourself.

ROLLER COASTER It refers, depending on its context, on the swinging between exhilaration and depression or anxiety, fun and the meeting with playful fear. As one person says of their dream, "I saw pretty near everything," I say, "people passing out, vomiting, etc." It can also refer to a thrilling experience, being daring or sex.

ROOF The attitudes or strategies you use to keep yourself feeling secure. The family atmosphere under which you all live. So a hole in the roof would suggest something that has attacked your sense of security. See: House.

ROOM A state of feeling or atmosphere. A condition or possibility.

A big room: Suggest your space to do things, your possibilities.

Finding a new room in your house: This is the discovery of new talents or possibilities in yourself. See: House.

ROOT Your beginnings, basic levels of consciousness, things you are tied to by necessity, love or connections.

ROPE If tied by: What is holding us back from expressing; strength turned against oneself.

Tying someone else: Restraints we use to hold back particular parts of our feelings or drives; sometimes links with sexual needs.

ROSARY Prayer and its influence. Stages of inner experience.

ROSE Love; the flowering of personal qualities, your soul or self. Sometimes the vagina. See: Flowers.

ROUND Wholeness or completion. See: Circle.

ROW/ROWING Making personal efforts to get somewhere. If there is someone in the boat with you it suggest efforts in a relationship. It might link with fitness if you use rowing for exercise. Or competition or cooperation if you are in a rowing team.

If this is row as in arguing: See: Argue.

RUBBER See: Contraceptive; Elastic.

RUBBISH See: Garbage.

RUBY Emotions, passion, sympathies; extending self to others. It may also depict a connection with blood. See: Jewels; Blood.

RUDDER The principles you hold to guide your actions. The decisions you make, or the emotions that control your decisions.

RUG Sometimes depicts one's financial state, bare floorboards being poverty; can be the colour or design that are important; comfort or lack of it in life - do you feel satisfied with self; a cover up; feeling of being walked on.

RUINS An old and now useless way of life you led in the past; a particular personality structure that has now broken down; feelings you have abut some aspect of your life. The ruins in many dreams are shown as a castle, and this suggests the defences you used at one time to survive, but are now not necessary.

RUNNING Trying to escape from some emotion, some fear, or hastening to something. A sense of hurry. Connects with fitness if you use jogging as an exercise. Can also be exuberance; flowing life energy; strong and easy motivation. One can run to or run away, so it is important in some dreams to define which one it is.

RUST Negligence. The transitoriness of material things.
