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

Searching may suggest that you are looking at something in great detail to maybe find some hidden meaning. E.g.

"I keep reading what he has said. I have just got to admit that he is just making life difficult for me"[Dream symbol - I searched the store several times for a chocolate muffin]

Searching may suggest that you are keeping something secret. E.g.

"My boyfriend hates Monty Python. I dare not tell him that I am going to a talk held by Terry Jones of the Monty Python team. He is already jealous. He thinks I think more of Monty Python than him. Its ridiculous. Its like I am breaking the law or something" [Dream symbol - nervous in case they searched me ]

Searching may suggest that you are being highly critical of yourself or others. You are examining something thoroughly. E.g.

"I have trying to address my own laziness. I have been trying to get up earlier. But yesterday I just slept in. I know I have got to get out of these bad habits if I am to progress in life"[Dream symbol - police are searching the area]

"I lack any real confidence. I want to look much more smarter and intelligent"[Dream symbol - searching through my clothes]

"I feel really quite powerless and depressed and I realise I am letting my children down"[Dream symbol - frantically search for them]

Searching may suggest that some important relationship to you is under stress. E.g.

"I am getting a divorce from my husband soon. We are fighting for custody of our children"[Dream symbol - i am searching the waiting room for my daughter ]

"First off, my wife of 20 years and I are seperated for about 6 months, she has started dating, I have not. We don’t talk much"[Dream symbol - ran into the store searching for her ]

"The dreamer sensed that her brother was being abused. Perhaps the dream featured some kind of telepathy"[Dream symbol - I keep searching for him]

Searching may suggest that you are trying every possibility to solve some problem or situation in your life. E.g.

"I just cannot get over his death. I keep trying to get over all the grief but whatever I do nothing seems to succeed"[Dream symbol -searches everywhere ]

"A lot has been going on in my life recently...we lost a lot of money on a sale of a property, I lost my job, someone crashed into my car twice"[Dream symbol - searching for a route down when I suddenly realised that I was driving a car ]

"I think this dream is a premonition of the next day. My sister in law asked me for some money to help sort out some troubles. This was getting out of hand and I really did not want to help. Before she asked for money I had been quite sympathetic"[Dream symbol - search through the water to find the baby]

Searching may suggest that you are taking a long hard look at a situation which is testing you. E.g.

"I got criticised by the new member at the club yesterday. It was very personal criticism. I do not think anyone seriously listened to him but still I want to appear less arrogant." [Dream symbol - trying to search out for all the exits and entrances ]

Searching is often associated with relationships where we are wanting something that in reality is not there. We are searching for qualities that do not exist in that person. E.g.

"I woke up angry from this dream. I have been thinking about the girl I love but cannot stop thinking of her former exs"[Dream symbol - searched for girl I love everywhere]

Searching may link to a wish to rediscover some former friendship or situation. E.g.

"I really want to see my best mate from Australia. She is in the country and there must be some way of meeting up"[Dream symbol - searching for her ]

"I was recently made redundant as a police officer. I really want to find another job in the police department. I loved the job and still think like a policewoman" [Dream symbol - searching through the closet I find an appropriate outfit]

Searching may suggest that you depend on someone for support. E.g.

"I really feel neglected at times. I feel he should be there for methe fear of neglect"[Dream symbol - searching for him]
