Dream Symbols Beginning with the Letter F

Faces
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
It is very common to dream about all kinds of faces. Strange faces and familiar faces alike are frequent images in our
dreams. Interpret your dream by considering the face and the general content of the dream. A stranger's face could
represent different parts of your personality or psyche. You think that you are seeing a stranger but in actuality you
are seeing a different part of yourself. Jung said that the stranger is a part of you that comes from the unconscious.
A comic face may indicate that you have a conscious or unconscious need to mock or snub the conventional.
Featureless faces suggest that you may feel unnoticed and unappreciated. On the other hand, some believe that the
blank or unclear face represents a teacher. That is someone who is there to show and teach you a lesson but you are
unprepared for it and the face is blank. Smiling faces are representative of happy thoughts and feelings and possibly
anticipation of a joyful event in the near future. Always remember the compensatory nature of dreams and their
ability to point to the opposite of what you experience in daily life.

Fainting
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Dreams that we remember are those that have penetrated through our ego defenses and their messages have began to
come into our conscious awareness. Often, we do not have a full understanding of the meaning of a particular dream.
Awareness is a long and continual process. If you remember dreams in which you are fainting, the setting of the
dream and the details leading to the fainting spell are important. Fainting in your dream suggests that you are unable
to consciously confront the issues or the topic that is being raised by the unconscious. In daily life, we faint when
we are ill or when we are overcome by environmental forces (i.e. heat, smells, a traumatic event or a dramatic visual
image). In the dream, internal forces, images or emotions that may be to powerful for us to process may have an
overwhelming effect on the dream ego and fainting occurs. The fainting dream may be the first step in a process of
becoming more aware of a particular area of your life. The unconscious will continue to send up messages and
eventually you may be able to experience the unconscious psychic event that currently results in fainting.

Falling
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
This is a common dream which usually represents underlying fears and feelings of inadequacy and helplessness.
Interpret your dream by considering your primary fears, current difficulties, and situations in your life that seem to
be on a downward spiral, especially those situations that seem outside of your control (financial, romantic,etc.).
Some people believe that if you keep falling in your dream and don't wake up that you will die at the point of
impact. This is absolutely not true. In a falling dream you wake up out of fear and not because of danger of dying.
Superstition based dream interpretations say that if you fall a long distance in your dream and get hurt, be prepared
for really hard times ahead; but if you fall and are not injured your upsets will be minor and temporary.

Father
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Dreams with fathers in them can be looked at on several different levels. You may be dreaming about your father and
expressing your feelings about him in a safe way. Traditionally, a father dream can be seen as symbolizing authority
and power. In the dream you may be expressing your attitude about strengths and weaknesses as they relate to your
position in life and your general attitude toward society. The image of the father could also represent the "collective
consciousness," the traditional spirit, and the yang.

Fear
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
If you are experiencing great fear in your dreams, you are having nightmares. These types of dreams are positive
because your unconscious mind is trying to tell you something. If you have repressed issues, they may be coming to
the surface. Think about the fear in your dreams and try to be honest with yourself. Face your fears and as a great
American president once said "There is nothing to fear, but fear itself." Having fearful dreams seems to be relatively
common. Most dreams are unpleasant and that is the nature of our private unconscious. Issues and concerns,
repressed emotions, and daily stress all contribute to an uneasy sleep and to fear filled dreams.

Feces
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Dreams containing feces may be odd but they are not uncommon. Feces represent those things that you no longer
need, things that are currently garbage or waste and need to be discarded. This dream may represent healthy
psychological progress. It may indicate that you are cleansing yourself of unnecessary and possibly hurtful
attitudes, ideas, and emotions. At times, and depending on the details of the dream, feces could represent a
contaminated area of your life, mind, or spirit. Look at the details and consider if the image of feces is in regard to
something that you have been trying to clean or if it brings up stress provoking thoughts, confusion, and difficult
and unresolved areas of your life. In some cultures people believe that if you are dreaming about feces you will soon
prosper financially. (Feces in the dream means money in the hand.) See Also: Defecation.

Feet
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
For some people, dreaming about feet can be a very sexy dream. Besides sexual connotations, the dreams can
represent your ability to move forward in life. Dreams with feet in them point to how well you are balanced and
grounded.

Fences
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
May represent your level of self control. Maybe you need more or less of it. Additionally, this dream may express
your need for privacy or connote feelings of being trapped. The details of this dream are vital to its interpretation,
including your feelings while having the dream.

Ferris wheel
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
The Ferris wheel could be symbolic of the "circle of life." It may represent the ups and downs of life that create the
total life experience. The circle is one of the most important dream symbols. It points to the center of personality
and our being that in turn brings up issues of completeness and wholeness in our lives. Since the Ferris wheel is
associated with fun and excitement, this dream may be an encouragement for the dreamer to "lighten up," see the
larger picture, and possibly develop a more positive attitude.

Fighting
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
It usually symbolizes anger and confusion that comes about in times of change. If nothing is changing in your life, it
may be a clue that a change is needed or that you want to change internally. Fighting with strangers usually
represents an internal struggle. Fighting with familiar people may be an extension of daily life and a reflection on
your relationship with them.

Fire
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
This is a very complex symbol that can have both negative and positive connotations. When interpreting this dream,
you need to consider all of its details and your emotional responses in the dream. Fire can be a deeply spiritual
symbol representing transformation and enlightenment. On the other hand, it could represent danger, anger, passion,
pain or fear. Is the fire in your dream destroying something or simply warming you? Are you currently engaging in
negative behaviors or are knowingly making wrong (or destructive) choices? Your unconscious mind may be warning
you and at the same time encouraging you to alter those things in your life that may be hurtful and dangerous.

Fish
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Some people believe that when you dream about fish you, will soon find out that you or someone you know is
pregnant (water of the womb). Others believe that if you see fish in your dreams, it is a forecast for sickness and
poor health. In Christianity, Christ is at times represented by the fish symbol (spirituality). These water dwelling
animals may represent messages from our unconscious and indicate to us how well we navigate through our
emotional waters. They could symbolize body and soul nourishment and navigation through the unknown depths of
ourselves.

Floating
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Floating in water can be symbolic of floating on top of your emotions and being in harmony with the unconscious.
Floating through the air has the same symbolism as flying. Floating usually represents your current feelings of
peacefulness and general freedom. On a more negative note, floating could also be symbolic of your aloofness, lack
of connection or a need to become more grounded. In order to interpret any dream appropriately some self
evaluation and honesty is required. Meaning of dreams is very personal and specific for each dreamer.

Flood
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Floods are caused by heavy rain and the melting of snow. Water in any form, including rain and snow, symbolizes
emotions. Dreaming about being in a flood is an indication that the dreamer is currently experiencing powerful
emotions that may be overwhelming. The flood in your dream could represent a very powerful, or even violent,
emotionally cleansing experience. But don't worry, just like in an actual flood, waters reside and so do emotions.
Water at times represents the flow of life and this dream may point to your feelings of being overwhelmed by it.
Depending on the content of the dream and your emotional experience in it, the flood could also represent sexuality
and be a sexual dream symbol. See Also: Disasters

Flowers
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
When we look at flowers, most of us feel some joy and vitality. At the very least, we appreciate their beauty and
see their value. Flowers are beautiful and in our dreams they could represent the simplest feelings of contentment to
the deepest feelings of spiritual completeness. A circular flower is a friendly sign which could be the "mandala"
symbol or the symbol of wholeness that represents the "psychic center of the personality." Additionally, the colors
could symbolize the psychic centers in our bodies called chakras. Flowers also represent hope and positive growth,
along with simplicity, innocence, and possibly virginity.

Flies
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
These insects are annoying and they take away from the enjoyment of any moment or situation. Consider the details
of your dream and try to figure out if these flies represent anything in your daily life. They could symbolize people
and things that get in your way or they could mean that you are currently experiencing annoyance and frustration.
Consider whether you are successfully getting rid of the flies in your dream or if they are overwhelming. This may
give you a clue as to how well you are coping with distraction and frustration.

Flying
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Dreams of flying are common and most people can recall having flown in a dream or two. There are many ideas as to
what this means. Some people believe that flying in our dreams can be an actual out of body experience, that we go
to places on this physical plane as well as into the inner planes (mostly the Astral). Edgar Cayce thought that Astral
travel or "soul travel" might be a precursor to becoming lucid in a dream. Carl Jung's idea was that in a flying dream
we are expressing our desire to break free of restrictions and limitations. We have a desire to be free and above all
difficulties! Alfred Adler thought that this dream was a type of a superiority dream in which we reveal the desire to
dominate and be above others. Focusing on the libido, Freud thought that flying was another way to express sexual
desires. The details of your dream will give you clues as to what it symbolizes, if your dream was a spiritual
experience or ego based. Enjoy it, flying is fun!

Fog
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
When driving, fog is an obstacle or a hindrance that makes things obscure. In a dream it may represent those things
that are creating confusion and prevent the dreamer from seeing clearly. The setting of the dream may also give you
clues about the area of life that it is referring to. Is the fog over water or land, are you in familiar or unfamiliar
surroundings? Does the dream represent the journey into the unconscious, where things are obscure and mysterious,
or does it symbolize a part of daily life that is unclear, ambivalent and challenging. Either way, if the fog lifts before
the dream ends, it suggests that awareness and clarity are forthcoming. However, if the fog in the dream was
oppressive and frightening, take some time to reflect on what causes such feelings in daily life.

Food
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
People often dream about food. All types of food are a consistent part of a dream life. Anything from meat to elbow
macaroni comes up through our unconscious and leaves vivid memories upon awakening. Food is symbolic of a large
variety of things. It could symbolize pleasure and indulgence. To the perpetual dieter, the dream could have a
"compensatory" function where the food that is denied to the individual during the day shows up in the dream state.
Dreams could additionally symbolize physical, mental, spiritual and emotional nourishment.

Forest / Woods
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
They may represent your unconscious or your "mental space." If you are lost in the woods, it may be a reflection of
feelings of confusion and lack of clear direction. The dark and threatening woods may represent the dark and
unexplored areas of the psyche.

Friends
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Our dreams are full of symbolism with their messengers being all different types of people. It is very common to
dream about our friends. These are individual that are emotionally valuable to us and we learn about ourselves
through them. Dreams are very rarely prophetic, thus whether your dream was good or bad, don't expect it to come
true. This dream is more than likely attempting to bring up uncomfortable feelings that you have about yourself or
others. (Remember "uncomfortable" does not necessarily mean bad.) Dreams are created by our own thinking
processes, our own thoughts (conscious or unconscious) create dreams, thus, the mind that created the dream also
knows its meaning!!! See Also: People.

Frog
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Old dream interpretation books say that frogs are a good omens and represent happiness and great friendships.
From a more modern point of view, frogs may be considered symbols of the unconscious because they live in the
water. Frogs also represent transformation of the positive kind.

Fruit
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Fruit represents abundance and prosperity. As a result of the seeds that they carry, they may also represent new
beginnings. In biblical stories, mythology and literature in general, fruits have enjoyed much symbolic meaning. They
may represent sexual desires and the search for wealth and immortality. In order to understand the meaning of the
fruit in your dreams, consider your current strivings and psychological space. Also, consider whether the fruit was
ripe, rotting or bitter. All of the details will help you to understand whether you have a lustful heart, are at a new
frontier, or have missed opportunities for growth and pleasure.

Funeral
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Dreaming about funerals does not necessarily symbolize physical death for you or anyone else. It could instead
symbolize an ending of a different kind. You may be burying relationships, conditions or even emotions that you no
longer need and that are no longer conducive to your personal growth. On the other hand, this dream may symbolize
the burying of sensitivities and emotions that are too difficult to cope with. It may reflect numbness or a feeling that
is the opposite of aliveness, such as depression and emptiness. Either way, burying a person that is alive suggests
some emotional turmoil. Please consider all of the details in this dream to find the appropriate message. Old dream
interpretation books say that dreaming about funerals is a dream of the contrary. Instead of sadness, the dreamer
will experience happiness and go to celebrations, such as weddings. See Also: Coffin, Death
