Dream Dictionary

Hair

Hair is valued and highly regarded by most cultures. It is a point of vanity, security, sensuality, sexual appeal, and a symbol of youth. In some cultures women are not allowed to show their hair outside their homes. Wealthy men go through painful surgery, and spend thousands of dollars to replace lost hair follicles. Needless to say, hair is a valuable dream symbol. It represents physical and spiritual strength. Samson's hair was the source of his strength and virility. In our dreams hair can represent our thoughts, knowledge and our reasoning processes. White or gray hair represents age and wisdom, and body hair may symbolize protection and warmth. When interpreting this dream, make attempts to identify the primary issue and connect it to a situation in your daily life. Also See: Beard

Hands

We express ourselves with our hands, and appropriately reading body language is a valuable source of information. Likewise, in the dream state the hands may reveal information about emotions, intentions and overt behaviors. For example, if in you dream you see clenched fists you may have much repressed anger. At times, extended hands indicate that you are needing and willing to develop close friendships. If the hands in your dreams are stroking, you may be feeling sexy.

Happiness

If you are currently experiencing sadness, this dream may be a psychological compensation and a positive way of comforting yourself. Traditionally, if you dream of being really happy you need to look around you to make sure that you are not overlooking anything (including your health). Dreaming of happy children is always a good omen.

Hats

Hats are usually symbolic of power and authority. Look at the details in your dream, including who is wearing the hat. The type and quality of the hat usually represents the degree of authority and respect that your unconscious mind is giving to the person wearing it.

Heaven It represents all of those things that most people hope for. Some of us may not be convinced of its existence, but all of us have definite ideas about what heaven should be like. In your dreams it may symbolize happiness, peace, understanding, rest, love, union with God and man, and many more positive things. Some people work for a "heaven on Earth", and others believe that there are many different heavens and in their dreams they visit those place through soul travel. Whatever your belief system or your dream experience, this dream usually leaves you feeling good and generally energized.

Hole

Holes, as all other dream symbols can only be appropriately interpreted by considering all of the details, and the emotional content of the dream. Holes in socks, clothing, furniture, etc. may represent feelings of faultiness or lack. You may be bringing your attention to the fact that there is something missing, or in need of repair in your life. At times holes can represent the female sex organs. Dark holes can symbolize the great "unknown", the entrance to the unconscious, or if there are many negative or frightening feelings associated with this dream, you may be becoming aware of some problematic or troublesome situation in your life.

Homosexuality

Sex in many different forms is frequently the topic of dreams. Sexual dreams don't always have sexual meaning. They are at times about power, control, identity and other non sexual issues of life. If you are homosexual, dreams regarding this particular sexual orientation are not atypical. They are simply the extension of your thoughts and feelings, in the form that is the most familiar and meaningful to you. If a heterosexual person is having a homosexual dream it may have a variety of connotations. The interpretation of this dream (as with all others) is very personal and generalizations are difficult to make. This dream may be about loving yourself, especially if the other individual in your dream is a stranger. The dream may be about integrating ideas and attitudes, and in a few, rare cases may be about sexual orientation. Sexual dreams are either wish fulfillment, compensatory dreams, or have nothing to do with sex at all, but rather are about issues mentioned above. Also See: Sex, Intercourse.

Honey

Sweet experiences and good health are in your subconscious and most likely in your life.

Horse

The horse is a noble and powerful animal. As a dream symbol it can represent a wide range of positive thoughts and ideas, about self or others. Depending on the details of the dream, horses can symbolize freedom, power and sexual energy. At times, they can also be considered messengers, relaying information from the unconscious to the conscious, from the spiritual to the physical. If you are horseback riding, it suggests that you are self assured and feel a sense of control in your daily life. Old dream interpretation books say that the color of the horse is also significant. (Remember that this is based on superstition.) Black horses are said to point out delays, white horses are reinforcing the positive and transformative aspects of life, gray horses may point to the difficulties in the dreams current situation, Piebald horses are symbolic of confusion, brown horses of mental pursuits and tan horses are said to be symbolic of love and sex.

Hospital

Many people reported having dreams about hospitals and surgery. This appears to be a relatively common dream sitting. Most of us are in some need of healing. The healing may be physical, psychological, emotional or spiritual. By paying attention to this dream, you may be able to identify the source of your pain, and where and how the healing needs to take place. Think about why you or someone else was in the hospital (in the dream). What is going on in the dream; what is the prognosis; and what is the cure? Answering these questions in light of a situation or issue from your daily life, could be very helpful and, at times, even enlightening. Therefore, try not to get upset by your dream, but rather pay attention to its message. Superstition based dream interpretations suggest that if you are visiting a patient you will be receiving surprising news (good or bad), but if you are the patient you may be currently overwhelmed by life and should ask others for help.
