DREAM DICTIONARY : This dream dictionary makes the claim that it is better than any other. Why?

This dictionary collects together such dreams and has meticulously studied their meanings. Try to study the definitions and questions below and see how they relate to real life right now.

FARMS : Farms are symbols of growth. But they are also linked to growth on a major scale. They can link to thoughts and feelings and ways of thinking that we are trying to encourage in others. If you were trying to influence others and even teach them new ideas then that maybe what has triggered the dream. Farms may also be about us trying to develop ourselves and may link to people, ideas and places which are helping and encouraging our development. That development may not always be thought of as "good" as it can quite easily represent new bad habits and groups of people whom maybe leading us astray.

ESSAY : What is the symbolic meaning of farms in dreams?

The land in dreams symbolises the facts about our life such as relationships and job and life in general. Growth within the farm shows that something is extremely meaningful or growing in importance in our life. Farms are areas in which we are mass producing in many ways the growth is in a more general sense. Teachers are likely to get farm dreams as they are trying to get children to develop in new ways.

Farms are often about helping and encouraging people to grow in new ways. E.g.

"I really want to ENCOURAGE the students and plant some good ideas in their minds. To help them think clearly" [Dream Dictionary - farmhouse dream][the dream on which this quote is based upon is featured in full at the end of this article]

"I am wondering about my career as a teacher. I feel as if I am burnt out. "[Dream Dictionary - flying over brown crops dream]

"Helping my father was a disaster. I tried to ENCOURAGE him and help him develop his business in a good way. Yet it ended in disaster. I will never do that again"[Dream Dictionary - road to farm dream]

"I like ENCOURAGING the kids. But yesterday we had to call off the special classes because the equipment wasn’t working"[Dream Dictionary - farming dream]

"I am thinking of transferring to a new school but was told about all the students who would miss me"[Dream Dictionary - farm building owned by my old teacher]

The dream may relate to a group of people or a place which is growing on you and helping you develop many new skills and good habits.

"I realise now that the people I meet down at the golf club have had a good influence on me. I think I will CULTIVATE their friendships even more"[Dream symbol - farm dream]

But the new ways that are growing may not always be for the good. Some ways in which we develop are bad especially from a parents point of view. E.g..

"I am worried about my sons and fear that they are been led astray by some bad people. They are being ENCOURAGED into some BAD HABITS" [Dream symbol - eerie farmhouse dream]

THE DREAM - The dream was about a family who ran a farm. The farmhouse was on a major slope. There was a debate about what plants were to be used and the methods on the farm.

THE REALITY The dreamer was a teacher. She was trying to nurture new ways of thinking. She was trying more than anything to explain the techniques that she was using.

DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer - "I keep trying to encourage my students to study in a particular way. I am not quite sure how to go about this. Things are not really working out. I will have to have a good think on this"

DREAM ANALYSIS The dreamers wish to encourage certain ways of thinking was symbolised by the farm. Farms are places where we encourage and nurture certain thoughts.
