Dream symbols are not as easy to figure out as you would think. If you scan the list above, you will notice that many of the symbols mean the exact opposite of what you would expect them to mean in your awake state.
A pleasant occurrence can be menacing, or something horrible can actually be an omen of good luck. Or they can mean what they seem. Its tricky. Do not assume, for instance, that drinking a cup of coffee is a happy, reassuring symbol, simply because you like coffee. (This is especially true, if the dream has left you feeling disturbed or unsettled.) Check the obvious dream symbols for clues about what your dream means.
