DREAM DICTIONARY : This dream dictionary is based upon hundreds of real dreams and has been meticulously researched. However, the only person who can truly identify the cause of a dream is the dreamer. Use the questions and quotes on this page to help you find out what has triggered your dream.

SURROUND : Being surrounded in a dream can mean that you feel threatened by what someone is saying or doing. Being surrounded means that you have to deal with and face an issue. Yet it can also suggest that you cannot escape from a conclusion and that there is a direct connection between one thing and another. In another sense being surrounded by something will show that you are totally immersed in that situation and nothing else is on your mind.

QUESTIONS to help you make associations(pick the one that makes most sense to you)
- Is there some fact or problem that you really need to face?
- Are unable to break out of some way of thinking?
- Are you simply not able to get through to someone?
- Is there some issue that you are having to deal with?

KEY WORDS : Dealing with, break out, get away, get through, a direct connection, involved, threatened

KEY PHRASES(Pick a quote which captures your feelings right now. Think especially of the day before the dream) :
- "I just cannot stop thinking about what he did"
- "I seem unable to break out of that way of thinking"
- "They were all telling me that ...."
- "I am trying to deal with that issue - I simply cannot take my mind off it"
- "I simply cannot get through to him"
- "I simply cannot get away from it"
- "I know that I will have to face this problem"
- "I simply cannot escape from the fact that"

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).

ESSAY : What is the symbolic meaning of being surrounded in dreams?

Being surrounded may suggest that you feel unable to get out of a certain frame of mind. E.g.

"I know my father made a serious error which has disrupted me. But I am trying to calm myself down and take a more relaxed attitude towards this as he was after all sending me my Christmas present."[Dream Dictionary - surrounded by thorny plants ]

"I realise that I have to assert myself more and make more of the decisions in my marriage"[Dream Dictionary - surrounded by ghosts]

"The dreamer had just had a miscarriage. She was trying to deal with the issue "[Dream Dictionary - They surrounded me and I screamed for help]

Similarly it may show that you are unable to get through to others because they are in a certain frame of mind. E.g.

"I cannot seem to get close to my friend anymore. He has changed totally. I cannot talk to him about real issues as all he wants to talk about is politics and human rights"[Dream Dictionary - one of my friends surrounded by three guards in camouflage]

"I know my boyfriend says he is happy with his current situation but deep down I can tell his is sulking. Its really putting a strain on our relationship"[Dream symbol - the tall surrounding buildings started to collapse]

"I have just become pregnant. Everyone is showering me with praise but deep down I am not sure if I will be a good mother. Being a mother is a big responsibility and I do not know the first thing. It will also be very hard work."[Dream symbol - the water surrounded us ]

Being surrounded may suggest that you are facing a very hostile atmosphere. E.g.

"I am going to live on my own for the first time. I would really hate to have to go back home like a little girl who could not cope on her own."[Dream dictionary - tornadoes are surrounding the home]

"I tried out this new forum. But I was not given a very warm welcome. In fact they seemed a little distant. But perhaps its my fault as I was basically on a forum which holds different ideas on dreams than myself"[Dream dictionary - being surrounded by buildings on all sides ]

"I am starting to face issues in my life much more. I know I have got to express my thoughts better and need to be more assertive"[Dream dictionary - surrounded by vile creatures ]

"I totally lack confidence at work. Its a very serious atmosphere and I feel intimidated by some of my colleagues"[Dream Dictionary - surrounded by men who seem intimidating]

"My mother is watching me all the time because recently I got into trouble. I feel entrapped by her and have to go to a psychologist who scrutinizes me in every way"[Dream Dictionary - walls that surround my house]

"One of my tenants has been asking me to pick up her child from school. I am going to tell her I do not want to do this on a permanent basis. But I know she is not going to like this and will try to twist things that I say"[Dream symbol - was a community with houses surrounded by trees]

Being surrounded may suggest that you need to face some problem. E.g.

"I know I have got to face some of my marriage problems"[Dream dictionary - surrounded by fire]

Being surrounded may suggest that you are having to come to some conclusion that you simply cannot escape. The weight of facts is too much. E.g.

"I think this dream was a premonition of a mans death on the day of the dream. He crashed a car. Snakes shedding their skins represent death"[Dream dictionary - I saw a black shadow surrounded by a snake shedding its skin]

"The dreamer had this dream and immediately realized that something was wrong. Everyone else thought he had run away. Yet she knew this was not the case. She told the sheriff he would be found in the woods and would not be alive. He had hung himself in the woods. The dreamer has since had this dream many times. "[Dream Dictionary - I am surrounded by woods chasing this figure ]

Being surrounded may show that your thoughts are totally immersed in something and that you are concentrating solely on one aspect of that situation. E.g.

"A couple of nights previously, the dreamer lost his house key. He is still living with his parents, so it was not the end of the world. Nonetheless, I knew he had to find it, and his inability to do so was frustrating him. "[Dream Dictionary - surrounded by a number of other unknown keys]

"I am going through a lot of changes, and am leaving home to be on my own. But I am a bit scared and uncertain about my future. And I am feeling insecure about being on my own, I have this fear of failing, and I'll end up back home. "[Dream Dictionary - tornado's are surrounding the home]

"I am troubled by two issues right now. I have worked night and day on a work project. It is failing though and I am not getting the support I require. I have also been thinking about this girl I like. I am really attracted to her. But I think she is a lesbian. I do not think it is wise to tell her how I feel. I cannot make up my mind"[Dream Dictionary - parking lot partially surround by woods]

"The dreamer seems to have tapped into her mothers emotions at the time. The spirits in the book seem to be exactly reproduced in the daughters dream. It was a possible telepathic dream"[Dream Dictionary - surrounded by black misty things]

Being surrounded may suggest that you feel threatened by someones views. E.g.

"That woman on the Internet was really annoying me yesterday. She was blaming an innocent child. The language she used was terrible and she was so vicious. This lack of caring affects children. They grow up and turn out to have views just like their parents" [Dream Dictionary - coyotes are surrounding my dog]
