PAINTINGS - 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.
PAINTINGS and PICTURES : Paintings are intensely vivid and imaginative
items. They link to how we are imagining something. That we are seeing exactly
how something can be or may become. So simply ask yourself what things you
are picturing in your mind right now? Have you some major worries or have you got a vision of how things can be?
QUESTIONS
to help you make associations(pick the one that makes most sense to you)
- Did you imagine the worst yesterday about something - painting a picture of how terrible things could be?
- Have you been picturing in your mind just how bad someone will react to something?
- Have you got some strong vision of exactly how you want things to be?
- Have you had to describe some story in total detail?
KEY WORDS : Imagining, picturing,
positive image, negativity, describing
KEY PHRASES(Pick a quote which captures your feelings right now. Think especially
of the day before the dream) :
- "I am imagining the worst"

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 paintings in dreams?
Paintings in dreams are very much symbols of the imagination. They symbolise
how we are using our imagination to picture something in very vivid ways.
"I have been picturing in my mind how things will be. I am convinced
that I will get back together with my husband. Its destined to be" [Dream
symbol - painting night sky]
"I am convinced that bird flu is about to break out. I am just wondering
and trying to picture what effects this will have. I tend to think that people
will lock themselves behind doors and not go out unless essential."[Dream
symbol - Paintings in window]
"As soon as there article was published I felt guilty. What I said was
insensitive to people who fought in the war. I pictured in my mind their reaction.
I felt bad about it" [Dream symbol - painting]
"I know I do not intend to comply with stupid new law. But I have got
to stop being so paranoid about getting caught "[Dream symbol - picturing
something][the dream on which this quote is featured in full at the end of
this article]
"I am have just graduated. There is this guy I like and I am having to
continue our relationship long distance. But right now I feel the relationship
is alive and well. He tells me what is happening in his life and I feel like
I am there with him"[Dream symbol - her guys friend shows her his pictures]
"My grandmother is coming to stay and I cannot help but just think how
awful its going to be. She drives me nuts"[Dream symbol - pictograms]
"I know I have got to start looking after my health more. I know I have
got to put some effort into it. I know I tend to imagine that its going to
end up with failure"[Dream symbol - picture of sinking ship]
"I know that my friend is not yet ready for me to make up. I can imagine
how she is thinking and can picture what she would say if I said how much
our argument upset me. She still blames me"[Dream symbol - my friend
shows me pictures of me as a snake]
"I said at my marriage conselling that I do not think we have been getting
on recently. I think this upset my husband. I think he was sensitive about
it. I think deep down he was imagining that we had been getting on a lot better"[Dream
symbol - man shows me pictures of his children]
-----------------------
DREAM TIP : Think of dream symbols like words. Think of pictures and
paintings as the following words in the English language - 'picturing','imagining'
. Now write down several quotes which capture your thoughts. Think of quotes
that especially capture thoughts about yesterday such as "my sister was
worried about her son and was really imagining the worst" or "I
was very tired at work yesterday and felt I was being picked on". Think
especially of problems and dilemmas which stuck in your mind. Now read back
through those quotes and see if the word imagining appears. If it does in
any way at all then its possible that the dream links to that issue.

SAMPLE DREAM
-----------------------
THE DREAM I am upstairs somewhere. There is the husband of a good friend
there. I seem to be quite fearful. Then I seem to be thinking to myself that
"the trick is not to picture it".
THE REALITY The dreamer was breaking a law which he really despised. He fully
did not intend to comply with the law. It was a petty and ridiculous law.
But he was constantly worried about getting caught and took lots of precautions.
DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer
- "I really do not want to comply with this stupid law. But I could easily
get caught. However, half my problem is that I worry too much about it. I
keep picturing the worst"
THE INTERPRETATION Picture and painting dreams are often easy to solve. A
picture in dreams relates to something that you are picturing in your mind.
You are maybe painting a picture of how someone will respond if they were
to find something out. So to solve the dream look for themes in your thoughts
where you are picturing something.
In this case the dream did make one connection. He had been fearful of getting
caught for breaking a bureaucratic law. But he was over fearful of the law
and of getting caught. He was determined to carry on with this law breaking
but realised that he needed to stop getting so worried and paranoid about
getting caught. He would have to stop picturing the worst consequences.
Symbolic Meanings
PICTURING : "picturing something in your mind - in this case getting
caught for evading a law"
UPSTAIRS : "your imagination - your fears and worries"
