21. What does it mean when you dream you’re in an empty room?
Wallace told The Independent that unused or empty rooms might be telling you that you’ve got untapped talents. “The more time that you spend exploring your dormant talents, the more likely that you will find other doors opening for you in waking life,” he said.
22. What does it mean when you dream you’re in an empty room and you’re scared?
If that unused room is accompanied by feelings of discomfort or fear, it might represent something very different. “If you go into the room and it’s spooky or scary, that means in the past one to two days you’ve realized something about yourself that’s unexpected,” Anderson said. “It can be something old that you haven’t look at before. It could be any aspect of your life—your job, a relationship—that you’ve shut the door on. It’s about trying to open that door, even if you’re scared.”
23. What does it mean when you dream of an out-of-control car?
If you’ve got an out-of-control car in your dreams—maybe you’re trapped in one or have one coming at you—it may mean that “you don’t have enough control over your road to success,” Wallace said. He also recommended, “Instead of trying to over control the situation…relax your grip and allow your fundamental instincts and drives to steer the best path for you.”
24. What does it mean when you dream of a regular car?
But a car in one’s dreams could indicate the opposite, as well. Wallace explained, “The car represents your ability to make consistent progress toward a specific objective.” So if a dream features a car progressing steadily and consistently, things might be moving along just as they should be in your life.
25. What does it mean when you dream your car is missing?
Ever dream that your car was lost or stolen? The lack of a car has a symbolic resonance about one’s career or ability to get where we want to go. “If we dream about searching for our car, then we have lost our drive and ambition in waking life and are looking for ways to recover it and continue on our journey,” Wallace wrote on his website.
26. What does it mean when you dream there are animals nearby?
Animals can vary in their significance and how they make you feel. A fierce bear doesn’t mean the same thing as a high-flying hawk. But according to Lennox, any time an animal appears it may be an indication that your dream is “asking you to stop trying to think your way through a situation and turn instead toward your instinctive nature for an answer.”
27. What does it mean when you dream you’re in an attic?
Having a house in your dream usually connects back to your sense of self, with different rooms representing different aspects of your personality. So dreaming of an attic usually relates to your intellect or memories—and a “musty, dirty atmosphere means you are in realms that you haven’t visited in a while,” said Lennox, which can indicate “unhealthy avoidance.”
28. What does it mean when you dream about having a baby?
Dreaming about a baby is usually a sign that you’re reflecting on burgeoning potential or “some new chapter in your life that is just beginning and has yet to unfold into full manifestation,” Lennox explained. Of course, since a baby is also helpless and needs to be cared for, it can also refer to responsibilities you feel you have.
29. What does it mean when you dream you can’t find your shoes?
If your dream consists of you being literally unable to find your shoes, chances are you’re having difficulty deciding what your take is on a topic, whether that’s an important decision you have to make or an ideological position you need to assume.
30. What does it mean when you dream you lost something valuable and can’t find it?
If you’ve misplaced something of value in our dream or spend the dream trying to find something and fail to do it, it may be that we feel a sense of lower value in our life. Wallace said, “If we are looking for our purse or wallet, then we are reflecting on our value to others as we may feel that we have lost some self-esteem in waking life.”
