ESSAY : What is the symbolic meaning of guilt in dreams?

Dreams with guilt in them can often link to a real sense of guilt and a feeling that you should become more responsible in some way. E.g.

"I had a car accident recently and now I know I have to slow down and be more responsible. I find it difficult with my mom though as she is watching me constantly"[Dream symbol - guilt]

"I realise I have to snap out of my moods. I have children to look after and need to accept my responsibility to them"[Dream symbol - guilt]

Guilt can also link to a need to make a greater effort in some way. E.g.

"My mom and dad have split up and I feel I should make more effort with my dad who I haven’t seen for ages"[Dream symbol - guilt]

"I feel I should contact my relatives in the countryside. I haven’t spoken for a long time."[Dream symbol - guilt]

"my partner is trying to give up cigarettes. I feel I should make more of an effort to give up myself as this would help him"[Dream symbol - guilt]

Guilt can link to a simple belief that what you are doing is wrong or maybe seen as wrong in the eyes of others. E.g.

"I have a younger boyfriend(he is 15 and I am 20). I have not felt guilty about the age difference but I just wonder what would happen if someone made it an issue. Noone has mentioned it so far. But if everyone focused on it I am not sure what my reaction would be"[Dream symbol - guilt]

"I am still in contact with my ex boyfriend. He says he still has feelings for me but I have got to tell myself that I love my husband and my young kids. Its putting a lot of pressure on me"[Dream symbol - guilt]
