THE DREAM I am near to my childhood home. It has been raining. There appears to be a speed bump at one end of the street. The street seems to be a dead end. It seems to be partially flooded.

THE REALITY On the day before the dreamer was feeling a bit drained. She had been trying very hard at work. She had made a real effort. But the projects she was involved with were not been recognised properly. People did not listen to what she said and she felt as if she it was all a bit pointless. It was a like a dead end.

THE INTERPRETATION Rain can often link to unsettled feelings within you. Just try to trace back to the source of that unsettled feeling. In this case the dreamer knew exactly what it was as the day before the dream she felt very unsettled.

Often neighborhoods can be symbolic. The nearer you are close to home the better. Here the dreamer is near the edge of the housing estate where she grew up. They can be consistent with you feeling a bit out of sorts.

The dead end is a quite simple symbol in that it captures the dreamers current feelings in that the work she does is a bit pointless - its like she has come up against a dead end.

Symbolic Meanings
DEAD END : "the dreamer feels that her attempts tp put across her ideas at work were pointless "
FLOOD : "the little frustrations and unsettled feelings have built up "
RAIN : "the dreamer feels a little upset and unsettled"
SPEED BUMP : "this stops things moving quickly"

DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer - "I have been trying to put across my ideas at work but I feel drained emotionally. Its all a bit pointless "
