FOR FEATURES ON DREAMS SEE DREAM ENCYCLOPEDIA

TORCH See: Searchlight.

TORNADO Threatening influences pushing you toward things you might be afraid of. Pressure in some form. Tremendous mental or emotional energy release, feeling as if it might overwhelm. See: wind; Air.

A tornado in real life also causes sudden and often catastrophic changes, so can indicate a sense or intuition that you are moving toward life changing and perhaps sudden events that will bring great change or threat.

TORPEDO Unconscious desires to injure others, or injury by others. Hitting below the belt. Also phallic symbol.

TORTOISE Outer hardness or shell, in which we may hide when others try to contact us deeply. Slow but patient efforts. Sensitivity and shyness.

TOTEM A sense of your connection with your forebears and nature. The intuition the unconscious has of your links with the past.

TOUCH/TOUCHED/TOUCHING The degree of relationship with another person or an aspect of yourself. The connection with an influence, and the experience of something other than oneself.

TOWER Ether your attitudes that keep you separate and aloof from people, means of protecting yourself from human contact or conflict, or a way of standing above events and getting a wider view of them.

TOWN Your life as it interacts with the people around you. The way you express in relationship with opportunity and stress in society. Your visible social life.

Home town or town of birth: The familiar way of life; the way you usually go about things.

Strange town: The new; different attitudes or way of life, new choices or opportunities.

Alone in a town: Feeling isolated and out of touch.

In a deserted town: Outmoded social attitudes or way of life.

Lost in a town: Feeling uncertain regarding your place or direction in society.

TOY Childhood habits, desires or attitudes not yet outgrown or changed.

TRACK A little used, unconventional, or more natural way of going about something. A direction already taken and made by others. Idioms: Off the beaten track; in one's tracks; lose track of something; make tracks for; hard on someone's track; on the right/wrong track; track record; on the track of; blaze a trail. See Road

TRAMP Unacceptable parts of self and others, which can be held back and so depicted as a ragged, unsociable person. If an attempt is made to find ways to express or accept these repressed parts of self, then the beggar or tramp changes in subsequent dreams, and develops positive and useful characteristics.

It can also be the 'yes but' syndrome - I would make an effort in life BUT I'm broke, people put me down, others are against me, I come from a broken home - I've had a hard time in life - life owes me a living, feeling. This attitude robs yourself of all power - power to control your life is in the hands of others.

TRANCE Depends how the trance is expressed in the dream. It may represent neglect of outer affairs. Or can symbolise a becoming aware of inner levels of consciousness.

TRANSFIGURATION/TRANSFIGURE/TRANSFORM/TRANSFORMING/TRANSFORMATION When we fall in love with someone, the feelings, emotions, ideas, and energies released by the experience of love can change or transfigure our whole life. Similarly, the release of inner feelings, spiritual energies, new ideas, can have a transmuting effect upon us. It thus symbolises outer change through the release of inner forces.

Transformation is also natural to us. From the microscopic sperm and ovum we transform into an adult millions of times larger, and capable of living in a different environment. This transforming influence is still at work even when we stop growing physically. It is still available to continue mental and spiritual growth - spiritual meaning an awareness that transcends the limitations of the physical senses.

TRANSPARENT See: Glass.

TRAP/TRAPPED/TRAPPING The trap is often made up, or rather was built, from a way of life you lived when you were a baby and child. You were trained to behave in particular ways, to respond as was thought fit, and in a manner dictated by the culture or religious beliefs in which you were raised. And yet as a natural human animal those attitude, behaviours and restrictions may have been completely against your nature. Yet that is the life you have lived since then, and it seems as it it is who you are. The only signs of your entrapment are your dreams of being trapped, your body tensions and pains, your mental and emotional agony at times as the natural human animal you are tried to find its way out of, or tries to break out of, the trap.

You are trapped because you cannot break free of old fears, attitudes or relationships. You are held prisoner by beliefs or religious views not conducive to you as a living being.

We are all trapped in old ideas, habits that may have been applicable at one time, but are now detrimental, hurts and responses that linger on. These traps are often depicted by prisons, snares, impassable barriers, ropes, threatening people or animals. Finding your way through them is the great adventure of life. Out of this arises your strength, your waking up to who you are, your emergence into real life and identity. See: Snare.

TRAP DOOR An attitude, realisation or feeling by which you can access unusual or hidden parts of your own mind, feelings or memories. Where the trapdoor leads to may contain treasure of forgotten skills or insights you had forgotten, or not used for a long time. It may also be a hiding place - a way you hide your feelings and ideas from others.

TRASH/TRASH CAN See: Dustbin.

TRAVEL Your movement through life, your ageing process, your search for meaning and new experience. It can also suggest a way of keeping away form extended relationships, lasting and therefore confronting relationship.

Travelling without goal: Having no aim in life; confused about direction; taking life as it comes.

Going on holiday: Moving toward giving yourself more free time; growth toward allowing yourself to fulfil your needs instead of always considering other people.

Travelling to an island: Becoming more independent; isolating oneself.

Travelling alone: Independence; loneliness. Travelling to far or mysterious country: Trying to find ones way through the strange mists of the mind and memory, to realise parts of childhood experience that are important, but now seem far off.

Travelling with others: Involvement with others; relationship; social relationships; how you compare yourself with others; what feelings and attitudes influence you.

TREADMILL A feeling that life is nought but work and effort. That you are trapped by duty and work and demands made on you.

TREE/TREES The tree is one of the great dream symbols, representing your whole physical, psychological and social growth as a person. The roots depict your connection with the earth through food, air and water, as well as your psychological roots in family and culture. The trunk shows your body and what you have developed in your life, the main thrust of your expression. The branches are the different avenues you have explored and developed, your children, your relationships and ideas. The seeds or flowers are your own fruition, the expression of what is deeply your own unique self manifesting creatively. They are also your reproduction as a parent with children or ideas in the lives of others. Dead wood represent parts of you that no longer carry life and energy, perhaps ideas or opinions that you no longer hold. The lightning struck tree represent sudden change, even death. See: Cross, Wood.

TRESPASSING When you force your attentions on someone, or vice versa.

TRIANGLE See: Three.

TROUSERS Very frequently they depict your sexual feelings, your desires, or what you may be hiding of yourself. See: Clothes

TRUCK Anything that transports you, like a truck, a train or a car, is an image of your ability to get somewhere in life, to motivate yourself and other people. Who you are with in these forms of transport show what attitude you have to those who share your endeavours. And breakdowns are just that - the fears and feelings that interrupt your journey. See: Lorry.

TRUNK Similar to chest, except it may be word play on ones physical chest. In either case it often refers to what we have stored away and perhaps forgotten. Therefore might point to emotions or memories which we still hold within us, perhaps even locked in the chest or trunk as muscular tensions.

TRUNK of CAR See: Car.

TUNNEL If the tunnel is dark, it usually signifies entering into experiences you do not understand and are not fully aware of, usually past experiences that are felt but not verbalised or made conscious yet.. Entering into unconscious contents. Reliving the experience of birth.

TURQUOISE This jewel represents the mind as it goes beyond the boundaries of thought into intuition and wider awareness - awareness of connection with the essence of life. It is therefore sometimes connected with healing or wholeness, as the person moves beyond limitations into their own health or mind and body. See: Jewels.

TURTLE - There are so many different sizes of turtles it is difficult to be specific, but turtles are creatures that can live under water and also on land. They also have a protective shell they can withdraw into, and these are probably the main points your dream uses to depict something of yourself.

So this part of your dream may link with feelings of a deeply inner sense of vulnerability that is surfacing or being felt at present.

For women the turtle can appear in dreams about pregnancy, so you may dream this if you are or are trying to become pregnant. See: Pregnancy and Dreams.

The turtle is a slow mover, but nevertheless is a survivor and can live easily in different environments.

Useful questions are:

Am I feelilng vulnerable at the moment, and if so what about?

Are there ways I withdraw sometimes, and in what way do I do that?

What am I feeling from deep within me?

Is there any indication I am pregnant?

TWELVE This represent completion, as with the twelve months of the year encompassing the four seasons. It also can depict the twelve traditional aspects of human personality shown by the signs of the Zodiac. For some people it would represent team work. See: Numbers.

TWINE See String.

TWO Duality; relationship, indecision or making a decision; balance; male and female; two sides to an argument - or a way of comparing; opposition; the opposites such as light and darkness, harmony or conflict; parents and reproductive possibility. Astrologically this is Taurus the Bull, the builder or farmer governing the throat. So basically it represents division, decision, choice, femininity, formative power, receptiveness, motherhood, breadth. See: Numbers.

TYRE The attitudes and skills you use to smooth out and travel over the rough patches in your life.

Flat tyre: Physical problems or injury.
