About this ebook
While there are hundreds of dream dictionaries available, the Dream Interpreter Dictionary is unique in that it contains not only ancient and proven archetypal dream interpretations, but also thousands of cross references with which the dreamer may interpret more accurately the meaning of their dreams. As far as is known, there is no other dream dictionary that has this facility, and it is one that makes all the difference!
The Dream Interpreter Dictionary is directly linked to its sister book The Dream Interpreter, which contains specific, but easy step-by-step methodology to enable the reader to interpret their dreams far more accurately than any other current system. Even though the Dream Interpreter Dictionary is a ‘stand-alone’ reference book, the reader is strongly encouraged to purchase a copy of The Dream Interpreter, and in tandem with this book, to use the information therein to analyse and interpret their dreams easily and accurately. The Dream Interpreter also contains the secrets of knowing how to learn the language of your brain, or sub-conscious if you prefer, which will open the mysterious gates to your psyche, enabling you to understand the weird and whacky world of your mind, and more specifically, your sub-conscious!

Dedication
This book and its affiliated book ‘The Dream Interpreter’, is dedicated to my wife, Sharon Dawn Harris, and my good friends Cecil Venter and Anne Glossop.
Sharon put in thousands of hours assisting me with the immense task of cross referencing the related words in the dream dictionary mentioned above, as well as in the tricky task of formatting the book for publication. This was a mammoth task of concentration and dedication, for which I am eternally grateful!
My friend Cecil has been an invaluable source of assistance in the development of the Interactive Dream CD program ‘Dreamcatcher’, which is associated with the two dream books mentioned. It should be noted that his assistance has extended over a ten year period – my thanks to you, Cecil!
My sincerest thanks to Anne, a classy lady with a heart of gold – without your support these books would never have been published!
Foreword
This ‘Dream Interpreter Dictionary’ has been compiled in such a way that it is easy to use and to navigate.
While it is the sister book to ‘The Dream Interpreter’, it is possible to use it as a ‘stand-alone’ dream dictionary. That said however, I strongly urge you to get ‘The Dream Interpreter’ linked to this book, as it contains pertinent dream theory as well as practical ‘how to’ guides that will assist you in obtaining the very best possible interpretations of your dreams in the fastest way possible. The cost involved is minimal.
Please note that the ‘Related words’ after each Traditional dream interpretation is not there simply to bulk up this book – it is there for the specific purpose of providing you with every possible insight, so that your final interpretation is more accurate than you would get anywhere else! Thousands of hours have gone into these cross-references to ensure that you can examine all the alternatives or extensions to any word symbol, so that you can get a far deeper insight into what your dream is trying to tell you - please make good use of them. Please note that there is no other dream dictionary that I know of, that supplies this extensive cross-referencing.
Having said that, please read the ‘How to use this Dream Interpreter Dictionary’ below, as it will show you the most effective way of interpreting your dreams in terms of ‘Traditional Interpretations’.
I trust you will enjoy the process of interpreting your dreams, and that you will be able to link your waking life events with the foresight your dreams provide you with, so that you can live a happier, more complete life!
Ray Harris.
How to use this Dream Interpreter Dictionary
As this book is primarily a list of traditional symbol interpretations, I will not go into detail regarding dream theory here, or for that matter, any in-depth interpretation processes.
Nevertheless, as this book is able to be used as a ‘stand-alone’, I have included a basic interpretive process to assist the reader in traditional interpretation. For a more in-depth discourse and to learn the language of your brain (which I strongly recommend), please get yourself a copy of my book ‘The Dream Interpreter’.
Step one is to decide whether your dream was a ‘power dream’, a nightmare, or a dream of no account.
If you feel it is a ‘dream of no account’, then you would probably not proceed any further. If however, the dream made an impression on you, it is probably worth your time to interpret what your subconscious (amongst others) is trying to tell you.
Step two is where you decide what the prevailing theme of your dream was – this may well indicate whether the dream was archetypal, prophetic warning or guiding. You should also pay attention to the tone of the dream – was it threatening, happy, wondrous, sad, light, or what? These factors will play an important role in arriving at your final interpretation.
In addition, if something in your dream is the main focus, or the main thing, it may be a direct symbol which will allow you to come to a swift understanding of what your dream meant by direct reference to the traditional meanings in this book. It is however, very rare that this happens, and a full interpretation as follows is more likely to reveal what your subconscious is trying to tell you.
Step three is to write your dream out in as much detail as possible.
Once you have done this, read through it, and underline the key words – here is an example using a very simple dream:
I dreamt of opening a bottle, to find it full of cockroaches. Upon seeing them, I got a fright, dropped the bottle, which broke, and I ran away.
The key words then would be:
Opening
Bottle
Cockroaches
Fright
Broke
Ran away
Step four is to look in the Dream Dictionary for the matching word symbols and their traditional meanings – we will use our example as above:
Opening – there was no entry for this word in the Dream Dictionary, so we will consider this one a bit later.
Bottle – Broken glass predicts a change in your domestic or personal life.
Cockroaches – although there was no entry for this word in the Dream Dictionary, there was an associated word listed there; Insects - To dream of insects escaping your efforts to kill them, means you should prepare for disappointments to come.
Fear – This is the closest to the key word fright, and its traditional interpretation is: A common dream, usually pertinent to the individual on a personal level.
Break - Any broken article is generally a forecast of problems of some sort
Ran away - This is a good omen, pointing to considerable achievement in personal relationships as well as business.
Step five is to consider each traditional interpretation and link them up into a cohesive story – this then will be your interpretation. So given that, let’s do this with our example above:
Since there was no word or interpretation in the Dream Dictionary for opening, we use our common sense, which tells us of discovery. The bottle was opened to discover what was inside. Hence, we can safely assume that some discovery will be made. Linking this to the bottle and break, it becomes clear that the discovery will lead to a change in your personal life that will be problematic to you, to which you can add disappointment, as insects alludes to coming disappointment. Fear simply points to the issue being of a personal nature. Finally, it appears that this dream, which seems negative in nature, has a happy ending, since running away is a good omen in the area of personal relationships and business.
Step six then, is your final analysis: Your subconscious has picked up factors in your life which lead it to forecast that you can expect to discover something that will lead to problems and disappointments in your personal life soon, but that this situation will be responsible for giving rise to a considerable achievement in business, which in turn will uplift your personal situation.
Step seven, is to reconsider. Look at your interpretation again – is it too simplistic? If so, perhaps you should revisit the traditional interpretations for the key words in your dream, and have a look at their ‘Related words’, listed below the interpretations. These related words can give you a deeper insight to your dream and produce a far more focussed interpretation, if you are prepared to throw the time needed at it. I believe it will be well worth your while, as it can give you clues as to what the nature of the thing is, that is approaching.
The above seven simple steps is all it takes to work out a pretty good forecast of what’s coming towards you in your waking life. Do remember however, that this interpretation can only be around thirty percent accurate – to get a hundred percent accuracy, you will need to consult my book ‘The Dream Interpreter’, which will show you how to add in the missing seventy percent.
There is also an eighth step – once you have determined what your dream meant, you go out and live your life, always on the lookout for the signs of the predicted situation arising. If you discover that the incident has taken place, it is also advisable to revisit your interpretation to see how accurate you were, and to make adjustments to it if necessary. The reason you’d want to do this, is because you need to keep a record of your dreams and your interpretation of them, together with your waking life linked incident/s. Keeping these records may prove invaluable to you in the future if you have the same or a similar dream.
I have built hyperlinks and bookmarks into this book so that it is easier and quicker for you to navigate to and fro as you move from one word symbol to the other. Simply place your cursor on say ‘A’ in the Table of Contents, then press control and left click with your mouse and it will take you to the beginning of the traditional interpretations under ‘A’. Continue the process from A to Z. Under each interpretation there are the words ‘back to top’, and if you place your cursor on the words, press control and left click with your mouse, it will return you to the Table of Contents, where you can simply scroll down and select your following letter.
Please remember that below each traditional interpretation there is a list of ‘Related words’ which will help you to flesh out your dream interpretations. Remember to only use the part of the related word interpretations that are applicable to your dream.

A
ABANDON: If it is you who abandons someone, it is usually a warning that trouble is about and that you should be vigilant so as to avoid it.
If you witness someone being abandoned, this usually means that there is important news on its way to you.
If abandoned by a friend, relative or someone you love, it portrays a subconscious anxiety of losing that relationship – in some cases it can foretell the death of that person by illness.
This can also be a dream of no account if you have just left home, or are travelling away from home, or are living in a foreign country. An extension of this, is if one or more of your parents have passed away recently. If you have this dream on a regular basis over many years, it can be as a result of a stay in hospital when you were a child.

ABDUCTION: If it is you being abducted, it is a warning that a situation is in the process of arising where you will be influenced against your desire or inclinations.
Do you know the people involved in the dream? If so, be cautious of your dealings with them.
If you do not know them, this will happen, and be outside your control.
If it is someone else being abducted, take note of the person – they are in a situation where they are unable to help themselves, but you are – the dream is prompting you to help, but be cautious of how you go about it.
If it is you abducting someone, it is a warning that you are exercising unwanted power over someone, and that you should stop doing this or there will
