An interpretation of bedroom dreams

An interpretation of bedroom dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. A bedroom is your private space, assuming you don’t share a bedroom with other people. Therefore, dreaming about your bedroom can indicate an issue with privacy. A bedroom is where you have your most private thoughts and feelings, so if it’s invaded by someone in a dream, or unwelcome people are in it, the symbolism can relate to needing space to have your private thoughts. The association extends to any subject related to privacy or intimacy. For an example, see: Gorilla. Bedrooms are where people have sex, so the symbolism can relate to something about your sexuality or sex life. For example, a young man dreams that his girlfriend locks him out of his bedroom, and when he asks to be let in, she replies, “It’s not safe.” She doesn’t feel safe having sex with him, and being locked out of his bedroom is a great metaphor for the situation based on the association with sex. Take the idea of intimacy further and a bedroom in a dream can symbolize any subject close to your heart or deeply personal, or your most personal thoughts and feelings. See: Beds Dreaming about your childhood bedroom can indicate that a memory from that time of life has been triggered by a situation or event in your current life. The present time connects with the past and you subconsciously see or feel the connection. Oftentimes it’s related patterns in your life that formed back then, or unresolved feelings. See: Childhood homes Dreaming about being in a bedroom that is not your own can indicate the desire to start a new intimate relationship or new phase of your sexuality. Or it can mean you feel a close or intimate connection with the person who uses that bedroom. Dreaming about feeling lonely in your bedroom can signify a wish for a partner or close connection with another human being. If you’re in a relationship, it can mean that your most important needs are not being met. See also: Beds, Childhood homes, Home, Sex, Shapes
