An interpretation of discovering dreams

An interpretation of discovering 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. Discovery in a dream can symbolize something you discover about yourself, or an area of personal interest such as a new hobby or subject to study. In a dream you discover a hidden room in your house, and in your life you discover something new about yourself. You discover a deposit of gold deep inside a cave, and in your life you discover you are related to a king from long ago. In a dream an enemy patrol discovers you hiding in some bushes, and in your life a co-worker discovers you have been reading her email. The same imagery can symbolize what you discover about someone you know—especially someone close to you. “Discover” goes hand in hand with “explore.” You can explore a possibility, an idea, a proposal, a thought, a feeling, and so on. Discovery in a dream can connect with the idea of discovering a secret, a cool new restaurant, a hot stock, and so on. Discovery can connect with the idea of “to be discovered,” like the next up-and-coming actor or musician. Perhaps you have talents or abilities for which you want recognition. If a dream character discovers something, it can be a way of pointing you in the right direction. You’ve been seeking an answer, a new direction in your life, a resolution, and the dream character that discovers something represents your internal guidance. The key to decoding the symbolism is to keep in mind that dreams create physical representations of personal situations. Look beyond the surface of the dream-story. Whatever you discover in a dream is likely to represent something about yourself or your life. See also: Planes, Boats, Embarking, Journeys, Maps, Vacations
