Dream Symbols Beginning with the Letter M

Man
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
All different kinds of people clutter our dream landscape. The men in your dream may include family members or
total strangers. You may dream about your father, son, husband, or friend and should interpret the dream according
to its details. A man, particularly the father figure, may represent collective consciousness and the traditional human
spirit. He is the Yang and his energy, when mobilized, creates the earthly realities. Depending on the details of the
dream, the masculine figure could be interpreted as the Creator or Destroyer. At times, women dream about men
that are strangers to them. These men may represent the women's unconscious psychic energy. Carl Jung called the
stranger in a woman's dream the "animus." He represents autonomous, unconscious energy and he plays a vital role
in obtaining a deeper understanding of self. At times, a strange and ominous man in men's dreams could represent
their "shadow" or their negativity and darker sides of personality. See also: People, Woman

Map
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
The interpretation depends on whether you are following a map to a particular destination and you feel good about
it, or whether you are trying to follow a confusing chart. A confusing chart may indicate that you lack a clear sense
of direction in your everyday life or are in the midst of changing long term plans. Following a good map in your
dreams suggest that you are feeling confident in your current path and pursuits.

Marriage
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
It is a symbol of commitment and, depending on the details of your dream, you may be currently dealing with this
issue. The commitment could be to your work, to yourself or to your partner. Mostly, a marriage in your dream
represents the coming together all various parts of yourself (feminine and masculine, or spiritual and rational). It
could represent a greater level of awareness where by the dreamer's conscious and unconscious elements are
becoming more familiar and are embracing one another. The marriage dream is affirmation and encouragement to grow
in self-awareness and to transform yourself. On a more practical level, if you are not married but would like to be,
this dream could also be a form of wish-fulfillment.

Mars (Ares)
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
The "fiery" planet is named after the Greek god Ares and Roman god Mars. He was the god of war, spring and
youth. Mars was the guardian of young men and was himself highly impetuous. Mars represents energy, aggression,
violence, desire and the male sexual organs. He is sometimes the symbol of life and death. In mythology, Ares was
often beaten and humiliated by his enemies. He was like an ill tempered child that was unable to receive the amount
of credit that he desired. Thus, seeing this planet in your dreams may be symbolic of your own frustrations that lead
to aggressive thoughts and feelings. Mars is a symbol of male energy. This energy, when used in positive ways,
creates permanent change and transformation. The dream maybe encouraging you to get in touch with raw emotions
and desires, to ponder upon them, and then to use them to transcend difficulties.

Masks
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Masks might represent our persona and how we appear to others. The roles that we play in life such as parent,
student, or worker. On the other hand, masks can be a symbol of pretentiousness. If you are wearing a mask, look
inside and check if you are being sincere in your presentations, or if you are hiding something and pretending to be
something you are not. If other people are wearing masks, it suggests that you may be concerned about their
genuineness.

Maze
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
The maze could represent your current mental outlook. A maze is a frightening and confusing place. If in your dream
you are trapped in a maze and are having difficulty getting to the end, then you need to stop and consider your
current emotional and psychological status. I don't mean to suggest anything is terribly wrong. Simply speaking, are
you often confused and unsure of which way to go? If you are facing many hard decisions this dream is a good
indicator that you need to step back and look at the entire picture. Edgar Cayce said that being in a maze in a dream
may be symbolic of an "emotionally disorganized" person. At times we are all emotionally disorganized and
confused, but admitting this dream's message is step in the right direction.

Medicine
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Taking medication is always indicative of an attempt to restore one's health. Your unconscious mind may be
encouraging you to take measures to insure your health and happiness. Consider all of the details of your dream and
decide if the medication taken was helpful or hurtful. Try to connect these thoughts to your situations in daily life.

Melody/song
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Hearing sounds in your dreams can be looked at from a spiritual point of view. Nice sounds are usually positive
symbols. Some may say that in your dream state you have traveled to other higher and more spiritual plains.
Traditional interpretations tell us that if you hear a familiar melody, you may bump into old friends.
Psychologically speaking, you may have heard a song during the day and in your dream state you are simply
replaying it. However, since dreams always have meaning, the song that you are dreaming about may have messages
in it that will assist you in solving a problem or will help you to feel better.

Menstruation
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
It is a common dream for women and its interpretation is mostly positive. Dreaming about having your menses can
be symbolic of releasing tension and worry. Women are often concerned about their reproductive system. (i.e.
pregnancy, sexual relationships or their body's "time clock.") Parallel to the menstrual cycle there is a monthly
emotional cycle that most women are aware of and experience. During the time of menstruation there is a release of
anxiety and an attainment of emotional balance. As a dream symbol it suggests that some difficult times may be over
for you and that you can relax. On occasion this dream suggests a loss of energy and disappointment.

Mercury (Hermes)
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
As a metal, mercury is a universal alchemical symbol representing the yin. It is the symbol of the passive and the
undifferentiated state which may be found deep within the psyche. Chinese refer to it as "liquid silver" and it
corresponds to the dragon and to bodily fluids of blood, semen, water and, at times, to the kidneys. The planet
Mercury may be seen as following the Sun (universal father; consciousness; life) and the Moon (universal mother;
birth; unconscious). In Greek mythology Hermes was the messenger of the gods and the god of speed. This
intelligent and quick witted immortal, easily traveled between heaven, earth and the underworld. Seeing the planet
Mercury or the metal in your dream may represent your need for communication, adaptation and movement. All of
these may be necessary for daily life. However, this powerful dream symbol may be calling your attention to more
personal and intrinsic matters. It may suggest a need to look carefully into your internal world. By doing so, you
may become aware of a need to the develop a more fluid ability to navigate within your psyche, which includes your
thoughts, motives, feelings and intuition; then notice the way all of these components are translated into and effect
daily life.

Milk
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
The interpretation of this dream can be looked at from two very distinct viewpoints. First, milk can be a safe
representation of semen and you may have unconscious (or conscious) desires for sexual relations. Second, milk is a
symbol of nourishment and it suggests, depending on the details, that you are giving or receiving an adequate amount
of support and consideration from your environment.

Mirror
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
It is a symbol of vanity and superficiality. You may be concerned about your image and the way you present
yourself to the world. Some say that if you see a clear image, you may be getting a glimpse of your true self. Broken
mirrors always seem to be a sign of bad luck, or, at least, represent some distortions. On a deeper level the mirror
can be considered to be a representation of the intellect. The intellect is an instrument of navigation and is constantly
persuading us to identify ourselves. When we think about this, it makes a lot of sense. Our self-identity is very
much connected to the way we look (not only superficially but also characteristically as man - woman, young - old,
etc). We use this self-identity, which is greatly a production of our intellect, to navigate through life.

Money
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
The significance money has in your waking life is reflected in your dream state. Money is a symbol of power and
wealth. We often judge ourselves based on our ability to make it, save it, and spend it. First consider your own
relationship with money and your current financial situation as this dream could be simple wish-fulfillment. As
always, consider all of the accompanying details in your dream because they will help you to understand where
your issues lie. Traditional dream interpretations indicate that losing money in your dream is a good omen, and that
probably the opposite will happen. Generally, money may represent those things that are most valuable to you and
not necessarily cash.

Monster
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
Dreaming about monsters and demons is very common. They may represent negative forces inside of yourself and
in your life. Most of the monsters are representing your own negative characteristics and tendencies. The monster in
your dreams could be your fear, bad temper, negativity, smoking habit, or anything else that is hurtful and needs to
be changed. The way that you deal with the monster in your dream is generally symbolic of the way you are dealing
with the corresponding negativity in your daily life. If you wake up from this dream and are very frightened, just
remember that your mind created those images and that their purpose is to teach you something about yourself.

Moon
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
The moon is an interesting symbol that connotes feminine energy; it is associated with the irrational and the
intuitive. The moon effects the ocean tides, and it has been linked to madness or lunacy. As a dream symbol is can
represent all of these things and more. As always, pay attention to the details in the dream before making
conclusions. The moon could represent romance and our earthly impulses and passions. It could reveal things about
the nature of soul and the unconscious. For those lucky people, the moon can reflect their inner peace and feelings of
serenity and security.

Moth
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
A moth is not very attractive, desirable, or known for many positive attributes. There is the story of a moth being
attracted to the flame, which got to close to the flame and was destroyed. The moth in your dream may be pointing
out a personal weakness or may be bringing to light a deception in your life. It could be suggesting that you are being
lead to a place where you will be hurt unless you recognize the danger. Since dreams are very rarely literal, the
danger could be emotional or psychological, not necessarily physical.

Mother
dream interpretation
meaning of dream
The relationship that we have with our mother is the most psychologically significant relationship of all. Rarely all
good or all bad, our mothers always invoke powerful emotions. We may dream about our mothers in many different
forms. She may be disguised in our dreams, and it is our job to find her in there. If you are dreaming about your
mother, you may be addressing some issues or concerns in your dream, or your dream may be based on a valuable
memory. The general image of "mother" in a dream may symbolize a variety of feelings and ideas: caring, nurturing,
love, acceptance, hard work, sacrifice, martyrdom, etc. The mother in your dream could also represent the
"collective unconscious," the source of the "water of life," and the yin. Carl Jung suggests that women in dreams
represent our collective unconscious and men the collective consciousness. Thus, the woman is that force, or
current, inside of you that nudges you on and inspires you. It is your intuition and the knowledge that in not
necessarily attached to words. Men, on the other hand, represent the active part of us that use the information
received to create the physical reality of our lives. When the two are working together well, we have balance and
experience awareness leading to peace and productivity. See also: Parents

Mountain
dream interpretation

Climbing a real mountain is not always fun but it usually challenging and rewarding. Some say that the mountain
may represent spirituality while others suggest mental development and self-awareness. The most literal
interpretation of climbing a mountain is that it represents attainment of goals. If you are ascending a mountain you
may be are working hard and trying to accomplish your goals, whether they are spiritual, emotional, or material.
