If they can be correctly interpreted, we can e to understand ourselves better. Here, we look at four mon dreams and what they potentially symbolize.2 I can see their laughing faces…laughing at me. But they aren’t as smart. If they were, they’d be up here flying with me! This dream has both positive and negative connotations(涵義). On the positive side, the dream may express a strong desire to travel and get away from everyday routine. It can be interpreted as a powerful desire to achieve. On the other hand, this dream can mean the person has a problem or is afraid of something and they wish to escape. The dream could represent an inferiority plex(自卑情結(jié)), which the dreamer attempts to escape from by putting themselves up above others.3 I’m moving fast now, but it’s still behind me. Doesn’t matter how fast I go, I still can’t escape. Although this is a traditional symbol of health and vitality(生命力) like the first one, it can also suggest the dreamer is trying to escape from danger. Usually, fear is the dominant emotion. By running hard, the dreamer can possibly escape the threat. However, they can also stumble(蹣跚) or worse still stop moving altogether. This makes the fear even more terrifying(恐怖的). One possible interpretation suggests that the person is under pressure in their everyday life.4 139。t pass a counting test. In the middle of the test he simply stopped.
