Popular Dream Symbols

FLYING: Usually represents freedom from the physical body, as we experience in sleep and while dreaming, where we don't use our physical bodies but instead use our mental and spiritual bodies to experience our dreams. It's one of the first things people attempt to do when they gain control of their dreams and start lucid dreaming. Flying = freedom; either a desire for freedom, or an "escape" from restraints in your physical life.

CARS: This is supposed to symbolize you in your waking life, in your physical body. Your physical body is used by the soul pretty much like we use a car ... it's driven for awhile and we give it gas/nourishment and repairs as needed until it stops running, and then we go back home. Pay attention to your car, which symbolizes your vessel/physical body. Are you behind the wheel, or is someone else in control? You want to be in charge of your own life, naturally.

TORNADO: This symbol points to emotional turmoil, as in a "whirlwind of emotions" and/or rapid or sudden changes in your life. It is a sign to "get a grip" on what is possibly spinning out of control and deal more effectively with your emotions.

TEETH: A dream about one's teeth falling out usually symbolizes that the dreamer is having a challenge getting their voice heard, or feelings acknowledged. This may be referring to their conversations with a particular person such as their significant other, boss, or friend. It also can be generalized for people who are shy, to include almost everyone they come in contact with.
