Ever wondered why you keep dreaming about similar themes again and again. Although dream symbolism is highly personal and often only makes sense to the dreamer, there are certain themes that are more universal and can be understood in the broad sence. Here are some of theses common themes.
Flying
Theses dreams usually happen at a time when you are feeling high, elated, happy, etc. Also think of how you would use the word flying in common speech ie, passed with flying colours, we flew down the freeway, how time flies. How high were you flying, were you just above the ground or were you above the earth’s atmosphere? How easy or difficult was it? Flying is often about reaching a higher potential in some part of your life.
Falling.
These dreams are often related to a metaphorical fall of some sore; a fall in opinion, fall from grace, loss of status, demotion, falling below expectations etc.
Nudity
These dreams are often about feeling exposed, naked, revealed, vulnerable. Also about honesty and openness. If you dream of being naked but nobody seems to take any notice, this often means that some disclosure you are consciously worried about is really nothing to worry about.
Examination Dreams
Could be a warning to get prepared for some kind of actual examination or test coming up. But usually they are metaphorical alerting us to the feeling that we are under some kind of examination or are being tested.
Loosing Teeth
Theses dreams can refer to loosing face, spoiled self image, loose or careless speech. Do you feel toothless in some way? About the feeling of getting old.
Loosing money and valuables
Could be a warning, check your wallet. What values do you feel you may be loosing in your life? Remember not all values are good ones, some are actually good to let go of.
Finding valuables or money
These dreams may be referring to your own value or worth as a person. May be literal.
Sex dreams
May be literal, as in wishful thinking dreams, but is often symbolic in the sense that we are feeling excited, or turned on by something in our lives. Becoming intimately involved with, or integrating two aspects of ourselves. The question may be how much libido do you have invested in something in your life.

Psychological Colour Symbolism
We live in a world surrounded by colour, but how many people actually stop to think about the colours in their life, or even ask themselves why they like a particular colour and dislike another. Here is your chance to find out a little bit more about the colours in your life.

RED Being the longest wavelength, red is a powerful colour. It has the property of appearing to be nearer than it is and therefore it grabs our attention first. Hence its effectiveness in traffic lights the world over. Its effect is physical; it stimulates us and raises the pulse rate
|
|||||
BLUE Blue objects do not appear to be as close to us as red ones. Blue is the world’s favourite colour.
|
|||||
YELLOW As Yellow is mentally stimulating it is the strongest colour psychologically.
|
|||||
GREEN Green strikes the eye in such a way as to require no adjustment whatever and is, therefore, restful. Being in the centre of the spectrum, it is the colour of balance – a more important concept than many people realise. When the world about us contains plenty of green, this indicates the presence of water, and little danger of famine, so we are reassured by green, on a primitive level.
|
|||||
VIOLET The shortest wavelength is violet. It encourages deep contemplation, or meditation. It has associations with royalty and usually communicates the finest possible quality. Being the last visible wavelength before the ultra-violet ray, it has associations with time and space and the cosmos.
|
|||||
ORANGE As it contains both red and yellow, orange is stimulating both physically and mentally.
|
|||||
PINK Being a tint of red, pink also affects us physically, but it soothes, rather than stimulates.
|
|||||
GREY Pure grey is the only colour that has no direct psychological properties. A virtual absence of colour is depressing and when the world turns grey we are instinctively conditioned to draw in and prepare for hibernation. Unless the precise tone is right, grey has a dampening effect on other colours used with it.
|
|||||
BLACK Black is all colours, totally absorbed. The psychological implications of that are considerable. Black is essentially an absence of light, since no wavelengths are reflected and it. It works particularly well with white. Black creates a perception of weight and seriousness.
|
|||||
WHITE Just as black is total absorption, so white is total reflection. In effect, it reflects the full force of the spectrum into our eyes. Visually, white gives a heightened perception of space. The negative effect of white on warm colours is to make them look and feel garish.
|
|||||
BROWN Brown has much of the same seriousness as black, but is warmer and softer. It has elements of the red and yellow properties. Brown has associations with the earth and the natural world. More positively than the ever-popular black, which is suppressive, rather than supportive.
