Just like a movie, a dream has a story to tell and it has something to do with your life. Dreams are like scenes in a movie. So, take a closer look at your dreams, your dreams may be telling you something. Dreams can open doors into your world.

Flying is a positive symbol in a dream. Flying in dreams may mean success, confidence, and “being on top of it all.”

Monsters in dreams often show fears. For Jason, the monsters may stand for the adults who control his life. Or it may mean Jason’s fears about growing up and he is very upset.

Here are some other common symbols in dreams:

Mountains: Mountains are difficulties, so to dream of successfully climbing a mountain can show a true feeling of achievement.

Big waves: Water is peaceful in life. But a big wave(波浪) in dreams probably means an emotional(情感的) worry.

Food: Food is a symbol of knowledge, because it nourishes the body just as information nourishes the brain. However, it could just be food.

According to Scientific American, an American science magazine, dreaming is a way to create a memory of your current(當前的) emotion. You may dream the same things again and again. They are like a bridge which connects your experience with your emotion and memories. They will help you get a better understanding of yourself.
