A Quick Guide to the Meaning of Your Dreams
How you can interpret your dreams.
The best book you can buy to help you interpret your dreams fully is called “The Dreamers Dictionary”, written by Stern Robinson & Tom Corbett, published by Harper Collins. It really is brilliant, and covers just about anything you could possibly dream of then gives you many various sources of their meanings.
The following dream meanings are just a quick guide of my own, and are not from the above mentioned book, or any other books! So have a look and see if the dreams you have had are listed.

APE – If you dream of monkeys you are not being your true-self. It could mean you are trying to copy other people around you, rather than being yourself.
APPLE – To eat an apple or to be offered one in a dream means someone is trying to get around you. It can also mean you are drinking too much alcohol, be careful and cut down.

HAIR – All aspects of this dream should be looked at. Loss of hair or having it cut or even shaved off when you did not want that done, in a means the loss of a loved one, not necessarily through death. If you dream your hair is healthy and thick and glossy, it is a sign of good health. A dream of cutting your own hair is said to foretell new projects and ventures, to cut someone else’s means there is jealousy around you. If you are waxing, or gelling your hair and trying to flatten it down, tells of good prospects and advancement in status. To be blonde in a dream if you are not naturally that colour means you are flirting too much, or if you are dying your hair, then vanity is overcoming your common sense. To dream of braiding your hair means a new friendship, but if it someone else’s hair it means an unhappy argument. If you are curling your hair it tells of a new romance, if you are already hitched it tells of an improvement with your relationship.
A dream of combing or brushing your hair means you will find the solution to a long standing problem you are suffering. To dream of brushing or combing someone else’s means a friend will ask for your help before long, but if it is a person of the opposite sex it means your sex life will improve. If you dream of anyone pulling your hair indicates false friends and workmates around you. If you dream of white or grey hair you could be in for an unpleasant shock. To dream of a hairdresser doing your hair means you are gossiping too much. To find hair on an unusual part of your body in a dream is a good sign, you could be in for an improvement with money.
ICE – This means you are surrounded by people who are cold hearted, move away from them unless you are of the same nature.

THIRST – Do not travel far from home for a few weeks after a dream of being thirsty, it could mean sickness in the family.

Such as Delta waves, Beta and Gamma waves etc. And you are said to be very receptive to dream formations! So you can have some real good dreams if you are on the right wave length.

TORNADO – You are going to be very hard hit emotionally by someone or some situation.
TREES – To dream of trees is good, unless they are too close together in which case it augurs a danger of you becoming strangled by the pleasures of life, and those same pleasures may well end up killing you! So...anyway if you see these trees in a dream this is what they mean.
