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

Of course one obvious link is with affairs of the heart. E.g.

"I know that I have broken up with my boyfriend but I think we will get back together. "[Dream symbol - ray of hearts]

"it has been ages since I have seen my ex boyfriend. I thought he might make an attempt to get back together but maybe not now"[Dream symbol - ex says in dream "I thought he was going to say I will always be in his heart"]

A heart pounding may suggest an anxious situation in some way. E.g.

"I am scared that my mother will suddenly just leave for Japan. She has done things like that before and just left me behind"[Dream symbol - heart pounding]

"I have just gained a promotion but many around me think that I have won it falsely. Now I have really got to prove myself again."[Dream symbol - heart pounding]

Hearts often link to the heart of some issue. You are looking at what is really important. E.g.

"I have just been given a new boss and been thinking about it. The main issue is will he leave me free within my own department"[Dream symbol - president dies of heart related issue]

"I have been thinking a lot about Catholicism yesterday. I do like the splendor of the religion and would like to go into their churches but I really do not follow their philosophy"[Dream symbol - stab Jesus in heart]

Hearts are often linked to a caring nature and some thoughts about that. E.g.

"I know I try to be sympathetic and caring but overall I am rather cold and unemotional in my outlook and I now realise that this maybe off putting"[Dream symbol - heart thing on me but it stinks]
