Dream Dictionary

Dreams of a baby or babies can be triggered when you are trying to have one. The dream can also be about influences you picked up as a baby. To dream of a baby or babies, particularly when given one or asked to mind one, means there is something in your life for which you have responsibility. Just as a baby needs nurturing and care, you are obliged to do what it takes to look after or develop whatever it is. Once the attention is given the outcome is always positive. To dream of you or someone else giving birth means a new aspect of yourself is about to be born. As above, it is your responsibility to develop this side of yourself. This is always a positive dream, as to allow a new aspect of yourself to flourish you must let go of whatever kept it suppressed. This dream usually comes after doing some developmental work on yourself. To dream of someone nursing a baby or doing so yourself, asks you to provide the correct nurturing environment to develop a new aspect of yourself. A baby with a special ability means that you have a sixth sense in line with what the baby is portraying in the dream. For example, if a newborn baby can talk it means you have a special communication ability – you are intuitive / psychic and you are being encouraged to do something to develop and use it. A stillborn baby means that you are not doing what is needed to nurture a new and positive aspect of yourself. Don’t be disheartened by this dream but take it as a strong message that you need to make more of an effort.

Your back is most commonly about your past as like your past it is always behind you. Washing your back whether deliberately or inadvertently is about the need to cleanse some baggage you are carrying from the past. For example, a window cleaner spilling soapy water on your back is a request to cleanse issues from the past. Looking over your back or looking out a back window means that you are focused on the past. Something in your past has you looking back at it all the time. You may not be consciously aware of it but whatever you are doing today is controlled by something from the past. If someone has their back to you it means the person they symbolize in the dream turned their back on you. At least that’s your view of it, but when it comes to your life you can only see it from your point of view. If the person in the dream is a woman, this is most likely going to be your mother. If the person in the dream is a man this is most likely going to be your father.

A back door indicates your rectum – the back door to your body. Houses, buildings and cars represent your body in dreams and various parts of the house represent various other parts of your body.

The back garden whether it is your childhood house or not is often about the past. However, in dreams about your health the back garden is also about your colon or elimination system. For example, to dream of soggy newspapers in the back garden indicates mold is growing in your colon – often indicative of candida albicans. A back garden path is always about your colon or elimination system. If it is a cement path the dream is saying that food is caked onto the walls of your colon and you need to do something to eliminate it.

A back hoe symbolizes your digestive system. This is because these vehicles are associated with working with dirt or dirt tracks.

A back passage is about your colon or elimination system.

A badger represents the elimination system for two reasons. The first is the black and white color combination which indicates the colon. The second is that the badger is a carnivore that digs into earth to find prey. As a result a badger can indicate a health warning with the colon. Try to eliminate or cut down on food items referenced in the same dream.

Due to its height, dreaming of being on a balcony means that you operate from your head. Logic and analysis are your methods for determining your actions. The dream points out your position to ask you to come down from your head and include your heart in the decision making process. An important figure above you on a balcony, particularly someone with a title or who speaks with authority, is in the dream to guide you. Their advice is infallible. Sometimes they take on a negative position to show you how you are acting with regard to the subject matter of the dream.

To dream of being bald indicates you are refusing to think about the subject matter of the dream. If someone else in the dream is bald it can mean the same thing. However, it could also be about how someone else is affecting your thinking.

A ball represents an ideal or a goal. Anything circular in a dream can symbolize this. A soccer game, for example, represents your pursuit of goals.

A balloon represents an ideal or a goal. Anything circular in a dream can symbolize this but a balloon is also something you look up to – symbolizing a request for you to aspire to achieving your goal.

Bamboo, being wooden and a long tube, indicates your colon. It can also indicate you are a channel as it is a tube that is open at both ends.

Banks control the flow of money in circulation and as such they symbolize your heart, circulatory system and emotions. When specifically about emotions they indicate suppression of feelings. A bank account also indicates your feelings but in this case the attention is being drawn to how balanced your heart is. Do you share your feelings or do you hide them from others? Constant suppression of emotions can lead to physical problems with your heart and circulatory system. An overdrawn bank account means you are being asked to address the imbalance as a matter of importance. A bank robbery is not what it appears. With the bank symbolizing your heart the ‘robbers’ are forcing you to give from your heart. However, in your case the feeling in waking life is that when you give you get nothing in return – this indicates an inability to share. A river bank, earthy and muddy indicates your colon. Quite often these dreams link the state of your bloodstream with the state of your colon reminding you that what you eat ends up in your bloodstream. In particular, foods that your system cannot digest or eliminate properly build up toxins in your colon which then seep into your bloodstream. A river bank, green with clear water indicates your heart, emotions and bloodstream.

A banner is symbolic of a title or qualification. Usually in dreams it is indicative of a perceived need for a qualification to feel entitled to do what you are already capable of.

To dream of a banquet is a request to be selective about the food you eat, and to eat what is required to keep your body healthy. Do not starve yourself. This is a common symbol for people who are damaging their body through excessive dieting.
