No one can ever say for sure what a dream means.  Our minds do not group information nice and neatly into a bundle of easy to understand pictures when we sleep.  Many things contribute to dreams:  sleep, lack of sleep, stress, idleness, jobs, pets, love, hate, fear, anger, food, diet, medicine, experiences.

I’m not an expert on dreams, but I’ve done some research, and will talk about what I’ve learned and what I think.  Hopefully, something I say will have a bit of meaning to you and your dreams.  I’ll also talk about sleep and how to get the more restful sleep that could keep your dreams positive and pleasant.

Grouped in loose alphabetical order, here are possible meanings of things in your dreams:

• Abduction – dreaming of abduction can have different meanings depending on the position and circumstances of the events surrounding the dreamer. If you are the abductor, the dream suggests that you have a desire for control and power over a person or situation.  If you dream that you are being abducted, this shows that you are not in control of circumstances surrouing your life and that you feel yourself being carried away by the enormity of it all.  Dreaming you are abducted could also reveal that you could be experiencing trouble and unrest in present relationships and situations.  Perhaps others are setting the pace and calling the shots and that is leaving you frustrated and vulnerable to their actions.
• Abandonment – dreaming of being abandoned suggests that you are experiencing feelings of being unloved, unwanted and emotionally isolated to the point where you have difficulty focusing on any future success in your life.   If you abandon others in a dream, it could indicate that you have anxiety about overcoming difficult conditions involving other people and situations.  Trouble and quarrels, loss of money and friends are all associated with abandonment dreams.
• Abdomen – If you dream of pain in your abdomen, it’s a good idea to have it checked out by your doctor.  Sometimes our conscious minds may be concerned about parts of our bodies and this anxiety may come out in our dreams.  It could also be a sign to trust your “gut” instincts about people around you.  Feeling the naked abdomen indicates a recovery of money according to some traditional beliefs.
• Abortion – Abortion dreams are about the release and termination of anything that is not working or is no longer wanted in your life.  It also represents feelings of rejection, guilt, sensitivity and anxiety associated with starting new ventures.  It should be viewed as a sign to overcome troublesome events in your life and get rid of those things that are hindering your progress.
• Above - Dreams of an object or something hanging above you and about to fall on you suggest that some danger or mishap surrounding you is present.  If an object falls, but lands near you rather than striking you, it suggests that you will escape whatever hazard was meant for you, but that you must exercise caution.
• Abroad – This dream signifies that a change is needed in your life and you are probably feeling very unsettled and have a real desire to break the chains and be free of the confines of yur present circumstances and environment.  The idea of travelling to a foreign destination invites new prospects and changes in your present work, choice of lifestyle and people involved in your life.
• Accident – Interpretation of an accident dream varies according to the surroundings and circumstances of the dream.  One interpretation views the dream as a premonition of an actual accident threatening the dreamer, so it may be a good idea to avoid any type of travel for a short time.  Accident dreams in different settings such as at sea, on land, or in a car suggest disappointments in your love affairs and concerns in your personal and business ventures.  These dreams could also warn of unexpected circumstances that can be accompanied by feelings of anxiety and insecurity.  Do you have fears about personal safety?  If so, perhaps you would be wise to see these dreams as warnings that you might need to take extra care in your daily routine.
