You dream of being defeated by a vermin

Vermins are little pests that can wreak havoc to the crops that farmers have worked on for the entire year. Being defeated by one in a dream can signify that you have difficulties and fears that are affecting you in your waking life. These fears might not be that significant but are enough to make you worry or doubt your capabilities and decision-making skills. What you can do is not to let the small hurdles get in the way. Sometimes, you need to step back and let things happen. There are things that are beyond our control. Those that you can, of course, make the decision to address them. Think of problems as investments for the future. You will become better at handling them with practice.

You dream of being accused of a crime

This is another of those guilt dreams. If in your sleeping time, you get accused of committing crime or fraud, perhaps one that involved insurance fraud, then it means you’re hiding something in your waking life. It may be something serious or something not serious, but you feel a great deal of remorse over it. The crime we do in dreams is usually a representation of the deliberate choices we make while awake. Psychologists say that the more serious the crime in your dream, the bigger the guilt you feel. Ease some of the burdens by sharing it with a friend, or turning yourself in, if it is a real crime. Being responsible is also part of being a part of this society.

You dream of a leaky roof

If this happens in your real life, then a roof repair is in order. But if you dream that your roof is leaking, it means that you need to toughen up. The roof is a symbol of security, much like the walls of a house. If the roof has damage, this represents the amount of damage that your psychological or spiritual self has suffered. We all have our emotional vulnerabilities. Sometimes, those emotional holes are touched, and we become miserable. It should not be a cause of concern, though, as the brain is warning you of a possible breakdown, which you must solve on your own. A high emotional quotient cannot be achieved overnight. It needs daily and consistent effort to be in touch with one’s emotion, and it is an excellent day to start today!

You dream of showering

Being clean daily is achieved by good grooming and of course, taking a shower. This act is the embodiment of the mind’s desire to be clean. If you dream about taking showers, it can mean that, to some degree, you want to clean or sanitize yourself. Maybe there was something you did that made you feel unclean. There may also be a sticky situation you are in that you want to avoid. If this happens often, it can mean that you will need serious introspection on what it is that happened. Try to solve the situation. On the flip side, it can also be an indication that you are fine and healthy. This is one of those nuanced dreams, where you have to understand the situation to determine what the definite meaning is.

You dream of opening new rooms or spaces

Rooms represent various aspects of your life. If you dream that you are opening a new door or space, it can mean that you are trying to explore the different areas of your identity. You may have encountered something that inspired you to want to discover your true potential. Maybe you are skilled at selling insurance or products online. Perhaps you are a good coach. The possibilities are endless. It can also mean that you are looking for something that is missing in your personality. By going through the various rooms, you hope to be able to find out what that missing piece is. What you can do is make sure that you reflect on what you do best, and start from there.

You dream of being lost in a shop or a mall

As it is, being lost is scary. If you dream that you are lost in a mall or a shop, it can trigger a lot of anxiety. It means, however, that you doubt your own value. You feel insecure in your waking life that your subconscious is manifesting it in a dream. The shelves and the individual stores represent those possible insecurities in life. But, it is also telling you that inside those shops are valuable materials, and if you choose to explore them, you’ll see how much you are valued as a person. It would help if you gave yourself credit for the good things you have done while taking responsibility for the wrong decisions. Identify what those struggles are, be it at work or home.

You dream that you can talk to animals

We can always talk to animals. We do that to our dogs or cats. But if they talk back, should we be worried? In your dreams, however, being able to talk to animals is an indication that you have the ability to connect with nature easily. Many find that difficult to do, especially now that we mostly live in cities. But perhaps you are an environmentalist, who opposes the use of fossil fuel to produce gas. Or you love animals and trees. This can also be a call from your brain to reconnect with nature. Take a trip to the beach. Jog or hike up a mountain. Do something that will ease your burdens, and let nature work its magic on you.

You dream of a bridge

A bridge symbolizes the link between your past and the future. If you dream of a bridge, or that you are at the edge of a bridge, then it can signal a turning point in your life. Perhaps there is a change that you are still reluctant to accept. It may be a positive or a negative change in your life. It can also mean that you are losing touch of the past, and your brain is trying to tell you to learn from your mistakes before you leap into the future. Think of past mistakes. Maybe you made a bad financial decision resulting in a hit on your credit report. Deal with those mistakes and get yourself ready for the next chapter of your life. Be ready to cross the bridge.

You dream that you are in a mysterious corridor

If we remember the scene from Harry Potter where Harry dreams of a corridor leading to the Department of Mysteries, then we might be able to relate to this. What lies behind the corridor intrigues us, and we want to open it. It can signify big changes in our waking life that we are excited or fearful about. Prepare yourself for those changes. Decide to be better always. The door at the end of the corridor can also mean a path for you to appreciate yourself even more. Congratulate yourself on making that mortgage payment or for finishing that project at work. If we do not respect our own work, we cannot expect others to do the same. Just like we do not know what lies ahead of the corridor, we do not know what may happen to us, but we can always prepare for every possibility.

You dream that you were able to travel in time

We all have regrets. Perhaps you did not attain the  finance degree your mother wanted, or you chose to work instead of setting up a business. Whatever it is, if these issues remain unacknowledged, it will remain in our subconscious and appear in our dreams. It can manifest as you travel in time. We cannot go back, of course, but our brain is tickling us with the idea that “what if” we can change things? What if I made the decision to do things my way? Of course, we can only face the consequences now and then decide moving forward. We have to learn to accept the bad decisions we made in the past. Seize every chance, and make the most out of every opportunity.
