Below you will see a series of quotes. Each quote represents the meaning
of a particular dream(these are all dreams where the meaning is understood
totally). For instance one dream may have meant that the dreamer was having
trouble at work. In that case the quote may simply be "There is a bad atmosphere at
work". Some information is included about which dream symbols were included
in the dream(within the squares brackets). Often a sample dream is included
which shows you how the dream interpretation was reached.

ESSAY : What is the symbolic meaning of poison in dreams?
Poison often will relate to a relationship or atmosphere that is poisoned.
E.g.
"My mother still feels that she can order me about and told me what to
do "[Dream Dictionary - poison][the dream which this quote is based upon
is featured in full at the end of this article]
"my sister in law has been asking for money. Its poisoned our relationship"[Dream
symbol - sister puts poison pill in my mouth]
"There has been a poisonous atmosphere at work recently"[Dream dictionary
- a mother poisoned]
Poison can link with something that is causing you pain either physically
or emotionally. Something that is slowly destroying you. E.g.
"I worry about my mother because she is not well and bed bound. It makes
her depressions worse"[Dream Dictionary - poisonous snake on my mother]

SAMPLE DREAM
-------------------------------------
THE DREAM I dreamt I was on a spaceship with lots of humans on board with
different level/floors but the levels were visible from any floor. These people(I
believe last specimens of human race) would die if they touched a window,
bench , panel, or another infected person. The dream did not show the cause of death (bacteria, virus etc.) but there was one floor or level which was safe , for the time being and there were heaps of people filling up this room
fast. The glass sliding doors were slowly closing together and I and a couple
of others just made it through. This section was not affected by the virus
however we were packed like sardines and I had an ominous feeling that something
else was yet to unfold. This is when I woke up.
Immediately after this I fell asleep and dreamt I was doing housework (the
dishes). I had 2 sparkling clean wine glasses in my hand when I noticed a
figure in a nightie coming up the hallway. As it came closer to the kitchen
it looked like my Mum and I was at first happy to see her though a little
startled as she looked more like an apparition not a solid figure . I went
to greet her and as I hugged her (did not feel her) she changed form from
a short plump woman to a tall skinny wrinkly warty hag and she started cackling
at me. I felt this womans name was Pam, she seemed evil and I had the feeling
she had killed my mother with a poisonous pill or that she was a friend who
had betrayed her in some way. Either way the feeling I had was that my mother
was dead.
THE REALITY The day before the dream the dreamer had been visiting his parents
but came away upset that she had been treating him as a child. The dreamer
was currently studying at college but was quite resentful at the pleas from
his mother to "please study". The thought of a 42 year old man been told to
study by his mother just "sends me off the deep. I felt suffocated and poisoned
by their views of me to the point where I am beating my head against a brick
wall". In the dreamers eyes his mother died a long time ago along with his
love and respect for her.
DREAM ANALYSIS Well with this dream its very safe to make an assumption
straight away linking this to reality. The dreamer had a very annoying incident
that was bugging his mind from the day before and it really was eating away
at him. So the gut reaction is to immediately link some real life situation
with the dreams. If an incident is big enough and annoying enough then you
are most likely to dream about it. So how exactly does the dream link to the
real life incident?
Space is a symbol which deals with an inability to understand something. In
this case it links to the dreamers inability to understand how his mother
feels that she is still able to tell her son that he needs to study.
People are often a symbol of standards that we feel that need to be met. They
link to behavior in general and what is acceptable and unacceptable. In that
case the space people are symbolic of the standards of behavior that the dreamers
mother feels are acceptable.
A virus is something that is unseen yet it clearly causes havoc and poisons
things. So in this case the dreamer has clearly been affected by the real
life incident. The relationship with his mother has been further poisoned.
The sardines are a good and strong symbol which clearly express the dreamers
real life emotions. He feels suffocated just as sardines in a tin. Possibly
the dreamer was trying to hold back in showing these emotions - trying to
contain himself from exploding.
The second dream is very similar in the emotions it expresses. Going upstairs
in dreams often shows that you are starting to reach a new level of understanding.
New thoughts are emerging and you are coming to some new conclusions.
The kitchen is where we feed our mind. They are often the home of experiences
which have been affecting us. The food we eat is symbolic of experiences that
have fed and engaged our minds. Cleaning pots is symbolic of thinking through
experiences that have just happened.
Perhaps the apparition reveals a very specific thought. It shows that something
is not quite real. It may link to the feelings that his mother is not alive
any more. His feelings for her are dead and all that remains is her physical
body.
The old hag is clearly symbolic of the negative way in which he sees his mother.
She has transformed into this hideous woman.
