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

Finishing something in dreams shows that you maybe feel a further effort is required and you have to show a real willingness. E.g.

"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 symbol - "I have to finish something" I cried. ]

"I have been feeling guilty about not doing something for my brother and sister twins who had a birthday last week. " [Dream symbol - I had just finished making a chocolate cake]

"A couple of members of my family have been ill recently. Its been a hectic burden looking after everyone"[Dream symbol - I look around and see a waitress that I know and hand her the bills and ask her to finish them for me]

Finishing may suggest that you are figuring how something will end. E.g.

"My fathers sister may have cancer. I was thinking last night of the emotional effects on her if this is true" [Dream symbol - after they were finished all she could do was stare down at what was left of her hair on the ground]

Finishing may suggest that some relationship is in its lasts stages. E.g.

"I have been arguing continually with my boyfriend. I realise what I need to do - break up with him. But I find it difficult to break up relationships. I know I am going to probably continue to be unhappy" [Dream symbol - we are finished]

"I had a crush on this guy for a while and last year, I did the stupid thing of giving him a note that indirectly said I liked him (ie. "I think we should talk sometime" ). We never talked after that, and it was only yesterday, I realized I had to get over him. " [Dream symbol - as soon as I finished the last word he hugs me and cries]

"I have just moved. People do not accept us in our new neighbourhood. They do not like our religion. We just do not fit in" [Dream symbol - that i was going against our agreement, that they could finish us off if they wanted to so I had better just leave or else]

Finishing suggests that one thing causes another. E.g.

"I hate my mother in law. She is nasty and I feel that my husband takes her side. If he supported me all the trouble would stop" [Dream symbol - Even before I could finish calling out his name She just crumbled in front of me like ash. My voice just faded out]

Finishing suggests that some situation has just ended abruptly. E.g.

"I am worried about the future. My father has just died. I really do not know what will happen" [Dream symbol - I ran back to finish clearing under the stairs]

"I liked a guy who is two years older than me but my family hated him. they made us finish" [Dream symbol - he left through the unfinished room of my basement]

Finishing can link with your readinness for something. E.g.

"I think this was a premonition of the actual day of the dream. I had a surprise visit from a regional inspector. I had to impress her and make her feel important." [Dream symbol - Parts of my childhood house look like they are in the middle of being remodeled, but nothing is fully finished]

"I have just been promoted. I am not sure if my former coworkers are ready for me to take command" [Dream symbol - I had finished but could not see if everyone else was ready]

"I really want to leave my husband. There are many problems associated with leaving but it will be even worse if I stay " [Dream symbol - when they finished one of the ground floor apartments, i was supposed to move into it]
