FOR FEATURES ON DREAMS SEE DREAM ENCYCLOPEDIA

WAGE/WAGES See: Pay.

WAITRESS This might mean you feel as if you are providing other people's needs. In which case ask yourself if your own needs are being provided.

Being waited on: Feeling of support or help, or that your needs are being met. This might also be word play for waiting about for something or someone.

WALK/WALKING Walking usually depicts personal effort, making your own way at your own pace. The conditions or surroundings where you are walking suggest what you feel about that, and the situation of your personal life. The direction you are walking shows where you are aiming to go in your activities and hopes. the future is represented by where you are going. If you are walking backwards, it suggests a wrong attitude.

WALL A problem; a difficulty; or situations that confine, protect or shelter. The saying to hit your head against a brick wall indicates inability to solve a problem through thought alone.

A wall also shows the boundaries you place between yourself and others, or put there by society or other people. See: Fence.

WALLET Similar to money, but may have more of a leaning toward power, or being in power; social effectiveness or ability to survive socially; your sense of self worth and value, thus related to your identity, or how you sees yourself. See: Money.

WALL-PAPER Often represents a veneer, or surface show, that hides the real person underneath. It can also represent the world we create from sensory impressions, and personal attitudes. This is a world that can be ripped away by such things as sudden illness or war. Then it is as if another world is revealed underneath the wallpaper.

WAND A wand may suggest the power of will backed up or directed by faith or belief.

WANT/WANTED/WANTING Wherever the words 'want' or 'wanting' appear in your dreams, it suggests urges or desires you may not be acknowledging strongly enough in your conscious life. Sometimes the urge may be misdirected, as wanting to be loved by someone who has proved often they are incapable. But the urge is till there to be loved, and some other source of love should be sought.

When it is a 'don't want' in the dream, it is helpful to change it to a positive. 'I didn't want to go with my mother' could become, 'I wanted to do my own thing.' This gives an open channel for the urge to express, rather than a suppression.

WAR Conflicts within yourself. Conflict can occur between your personal drives and the social, political or economic regime you live in. The war might also represent a battle going on between your own gender identity and the opposite gender; between yourself and another person, or your conscious attitudes and your unconscious biological processes and intelligence. Look to the dream for a definition of what the conflict involves.

WARDROBE Memories; attitudes you use, or social stances you use, to do different things in your life. The wardrobe might also depict feelings about a past relationship if it is one that was in a house you shared.

Trapped in a cupboard: Trapped in past feelings or attitudes arising from a past relationship.

WAREHOUSE Memories; past experience; aspects of self put in storage, such as ambition while bringing up children.

WATER Water usually denotes your flowing feelings or ability to responds. It can thus be emotions, desires, moods, depending how the water appears in the dream.

Water takes the form of any vessel that contains it. So it represents your ability to be influenced either by fears, force, understanding or ignorance, love or duty, and so on. This is important as it means your anxieties direct the torrent or energy called emotion. As emotions can heal or kill this is something that needs care.

See: Baptism; River; Sea.

WEAKNESS In some dreams we are suddenly weak and unable to fight off an opponent, or too weak to run. This represents fears of not being able to deal with the situations that face you, or the urges or emotions that arise from within you. It might also mean you feel too weak to say no to someone; or your resolves are weakening.

WEB A sticky situation you feel yourself in; feeling caught up in something that might trap you; being trapped by the power of someone else's emotions or expectations; a web of lies; the symmetry of your wholeness; the delicate or sometimes imperceptible but real connections linking you with other people, events and the world. This link may be supportive, or threatening; the circle of life, as with a mandala, the centre suggesting a merging back into the primal energy of life. Through this link one may sense what is going on in the world and in relationships.

But spiders webs as in a dusty house show you dealing with something you have not used, or not lived for a long time. Possibly it also suggests a need to springclean or deal with old memories or the past.

At its most fundamental level this sensing tell us whether what is happening or approaching can be eaten, or whether it will eat us. At its subtler levels we sense our connection with all of life and can find a personal place in the scheme of things. This aspect connects with the symbol of the labyrinth as the difficult journey to self discovery. See: maze. Sometimes the web made by a spider is a cocoon, and so is protective. Often this relates to very delicate processes of change going on in us, perhaps ones which needs us to be a little withdrawn or protected from the world in order for the process to work out and mature. See: Spider.
