T

T-Junction

Road junctions symbolize choices ahead A T-junction symbolizes a choice you have to make – literally in reality you are faced with having to change direction with regard to pursuit of a goal. When you consider that driving in dreams indicates the pursuit of a goal, when you reach a T-junction you have a choice in which direction you will continue to drive. You will not continue on in the same direction you are currently going, and even more to the point, the choices are mutually exclusive in that you cannot continue on both paths. The choice you have to make and the reason for it does not always appear, even symbolically, in these dreams. This is because you are usually consciously aware of it, and have been procrastinating for some time.

T-Shirt

A T-shirt indicates that you have a somewhat difficult choice to make that you are already most likely aware of. It means a hard choice in the same way a T-Junction does (see T-Junction) and the fact that you wear a t-shirt means you are carrying the decision around rather than making the choice.

Table

A kitchen table, wooden table or table for eating at is about your digestive system. A dining room table indicates the same thing but can also indicate social interaction. A coffee table can be about your lungs because of the pun on cough. Tables can also be about something you are accountable for or are being asked to take on board. For example, to dream of magazines on a table, asks you to develop your counseling ability – counseling is what’s on the table for you. A table in the bedroom is about your menstrual cycle. The pun being in the Latin name for table – mensa.

Tap

A tap usually represents the kidneys. This is particularly the case when there are two taps to indicate the left and right kidneys. To dream of a tap can also be a pun asking you to tap into some creative resource you possess. For example, a silver tap asks you to tap into your innate intuition / psychic ability.

Taxi

A taxi indicates you have a counseling ability that works well on a one on one basis. It means this because taxis take you from where you are to where you need to be on a one on one basis. This dream can also mean that you could use counseling in your life now.

Taxi Driver

Whether in a car or not, a taxi driver indicates you have a counseling ability that works well one on one. Taxi drivers take you from where you are to where you need to be on a one to one basis.

Tea Chest

A tea chest, like any large cavity in a dream symbolizes your lungs as they are the spatial cavity within your body. This is especially true if the chest is described as at chest level.

Teacher

To dream of a teacher means you are a leader / spiritual teacher. Spirituality is expression of the soul so you will teach others to express what is in their core, either by example or through instruction. If the teacher in the dream is working with groups, it means you are to use your gift with groups. A spiritual teacher empowers others to deal with their problems.

Teapot

Teapots symbolize your heart due to the custom of drinking tea with visitors and sharing news since you last saw them. They also tend to have a half heart shaped handle. Anything to do with sharing implies your heart.

Teeth

Teeth in dreams indicate your reproductive system or parenting. Animals carry their young around with their teeth. To lose their teeth would mean they cannot raise their young. We often forget that we too are animals in the animal kingdom. Teeth can also indicate that you need to be more assertive or less assertive. If a dentist is repairing your teeth, it means that you need to be more assertive and stand up for yourself. To dream of an animal with a lot of teeth, such as a crocodile, means the same thing. This type of dream can be triggered through being in a situation where you feel you cannot stand up for yourself or have lost your grip. For example, a relationship with an over powering partner or a work situation where you feel you would get fired if you speak up. The dream is healing with the intention of giving you renewed vigor to get a grip on the situation. If a dentist is filing down your teeth it means you need to be less aggressive or assertive when it comes to the subject matter of the dream. Take a step back and stop sinking your teeth in. Loosing teeth indicates losing the ability to have or raise children, because of a physical condition or through the onset of menopause. Dreams of loosing teeth can also be triggered due to a number of non physical conditions such as; 1) If your child is leaving home to go to college or to live on their own and you are concerned for their ability to cope. 2) If you are losing a grip on a situation or life in general. This can be to do with your children but does not have to be. For example, this dream can be triggered if your child is on drugs or hanging out with the wrong crowd, and all your attempts at helping them to get their life back on track have failed. 3) If you feel completely helpless in a situation and you can’t do anything to get out of it. 4) Separation or divorce is causing you to lose access, even partially, to your children. A rotten tooth in a dream is a threat of cancer of the uterus.

Telephone

A telephone can symbolize communication. For example, if you dream about your partner, and there is a telephone in the dream, it is about communication with your partner. The location of the phone can also be significant. For example, a dream of a broken telephone in the bedroom means you need to work on sexual communication with your partner. A telephone can also symbolize clairaudience. This is communication with your angels through hearing them. A telephone can also indicate you are telepathic. Telepathy is where you can read other peoples’ minds. If you have this ability you already know it.

Telescope

A telescope indicates you are prophetic as it allows you to see what’s ahead on the horizon.

Television

A television indicates you are clairvoyant – you can see things from a distance. A television station indicates you are intellectual, an absent healer, projector and hypnotist. Projecting your mind onto others can be used to good and bad effect. It is very useful in marketing, sales and teaching. Be careful not to think badly of others as your negative thoughts can have a negative effect on them. Whether you believe in karma or not you bring it on yourself for doing this. Hypnosis is achieved by the practitioner projecting their mind onto their subject. This is regardless of other tools the hypnotist may use. It is their mental projection onto the mind of the subject that makes it work.

Temple

A temple indicates spirituality. It is a location you go to, to get closer to God.

Terror

Strong emotions such as terror appear in dreams as a result of your subconscious rejecting the message of the dream. You need to be more accepting of the change your dream is asking you to make.
