Stop Scoring Own Goals
Own goals are actions, things we do, that stop us from reaching where we want to go or what we want to obtain. When we are out of focus, when we are out of tune with what’s going on, when we do something which takes us in the opposite direction...
Whose Thought is it Anyway?
Winter is finally yielding to spring in the New England town I live in. I woke up this morning excited to go outside for a walk to feel the warming air and sunshine on my face. As I walked briskly throughout my neighborhood I was grateful for my...

Lies kill hearts
One who speaks a lie hurts. Only truth gives life and peace. A
lie always hurts. Even the smallest lie hurts. It hurts one to
whom the lie has been spoken, and surely the person who speaks
the lie. In today's world lies are taken as way of life....

Dream Interpretation - Common Items and Their Meanings
The interpretation of dreams can be anything from a fun and
interesting hobby to a serious pursuit. Many people interpret
their dreams simply for the fun of it, and any enlightenment
that is gained is a happy accident. Others make dream
interpretation part of their careers, and take it quite
seriously. For instance, many psychologists and therapists
incorporate dream interpretation into their practice, and find
that it is a very useful way to gain access to hidden desires
and deep seated personality issues.
We will take the more fun approach in this article, by giving
you some popular interpretations of symbols and objects
frequently encountered in the dream world.
Dreaming of colors Many people report dreaming in color all or
most of the time, and colors can be very revealing when applied
to the dream world. The meaning of a particular color is
dependent on the color, and a quick guide is presented below.
Pink - pink is the color of love, and pink in a dream
often symbolizes the healing power of love
Red - red can symbolize either passion or anger,
depending on the circumstances of the dream
Black - black is often thought to stand for the
unconscious mind or the void. Black can often symbolize the fear
of death and aging. Grey - grey is a middle color
between black and white, and it often symbolizes fear or
confusion. White - white is a symbol of purity, but
like black, dreaming of white objects can often symbolize a fear
of death. White can also be symbolic of a fear of new
surroundings. Green - green is often a symbol for
renewal (both spiritual and physical), growth or healing.
Blue - blue is often used to symbolize spirituality. In
certain circumstances blue could stand for sadness as well. It
is important to look at the context of the
dream.
Yellow - yellow is a symbol for peacefulness, calm and hope.
Dreams about numbers Many people put great stock in dreaming
about numbers, and some people even claim that dream inspired
numbers helped them win the lottery. While we can't guarantee
your dreams can make you rich, we can give you some of the
meanings people have associated with numbers they encounter
while in dream land.
One - often stands for unity, wholeness or
completeness. Two - can symbolize balance - spiritual
balance, gender balance, equality, etc.
Three - in the Christian religion three is the symbol
for the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Three is a number often
seen in dreams, and it can stand for unity, harmony and
spiritual fulfillment.
Five - the number five is often a symbol for upcoming
change. Five in a positive context can mean the change has been
accepted, while five in a negative or threatening environment
can symbolize a fear of change.
Dreaming of a baby or a pregnancy Dreams of pregnancy and babies
can of course symbolize the wish for a child, but pregnancy and
baby dreams can also be symbols for new experiences in your
life. The longing for new experiences, or an upcoming life
change, often trigger such dreams.
Of course those listed above are not the only interpretations
possible fro these various dream symbols. Each dream must be
examined in its own context, as well as in the context of the
life of the dreamer. It may be obvious to you what a particular
dream is about, even if other people would not interpret it that
way.
