DREAM ANALYSIS : What is the symbolic meaning of maps in dreams?
In some cases we see someone who we can readily identify with. They may look like us and in some ways what happens to them could easily happen to us. So in some cases mirrors link to other people whose stories stick in our minds. E.g.

"I have been thinking about my life. I have been a bit lost. I need to change direction and start a new career path."[Dream Dictionary - map dream]

"I have been studying this subject exhaustively. "[Dream Dictionary - making map dream]

SAMPLE DREAM
---------------------------
THE DREAM I was reading drawing like maps. I am up in the hills surviving like the SAS. I am noting where the fish are. There are these pelican type birds. I place them on the map. Its a lake scene. I was on the scottish islands studying.

THE REALITY The dreamer(myself) was studying dreams. On the day before he had gone through a new phase. He had a renewed interest in the subject. He had just decided to get connected to the internet at home because this would enable him to study the subject in greater detail.

DREAM ANALYSIS Dreams often symbolize key thoughts and feelings from the day before. Try jotting down one or two. In this case the dreamer (it was one of my own dreams actually) had been thinking very much of dream interpreting. He was studying the subject with a renewed enthusiasm. He had decided get on the internet at home. This would aid his study of dreams. So how could the dream link to this key thought from the previous day?

The dreamer was studying attentively. This was a direct mirror of real life. He had been studying attentively in real life. So here was an obvious connection between dream and reality. So further exploration of the symbols may verify a connection.

The dream features accurate pictures. These perhaps link to the way the deamer was trying to describe his dream symbols in great detail. He was trying to make them accurate and realistic.

The scottish islands are beautiful and fresh places. Perhaps this symbolizes the new and fresh phase in the dreamers study. Exploring the subject in a new and exciting way.
