An interpretation of neighbor dreams

An interpretation of neighbor 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. It’s possible to dream about your neighbors, especially if you’re involved in some sort of conflict or intrigue with them. Consider what you know about them and your recent interactions, if any. Dreams have a lot of possibilities to work with to create symbolism based on your neighbors. For example, if your neighbors are loud and keep you up at night, they could be used to create symbolism related to a troublesome situation unrelated to them. For example, a big problem at work could be keeping you up at night, and it’s symbolized as a problem with your neighbors. If your neighbors appear to be well-off financially, in your dreams they could symbolize your desire to be well-off. If you hear them fight and argue, they could be used in your dreams to symbolize conflict. Neighbors are close geographically, generally, so in dreams they can be used to symbolize something that is close in the figurative sense. Someone who is gravely ill might dream about death as a neighbor because he feels that death is nearby. See: Barns, Garages Neighbors can symbolize other people close to you, such as relatives, friends, or co-workers. For example, the co-worker in the office or cubicle next to yours is said to be your neighbor. When you compare yourself with other people, whether or not those people are your neighbors, dreams can use neighbors to symbolize those thought processes and related feelings. Neighborhoods are generally homogenous ethnically, racially, economically, and socially. The people in your neighborhood are in the same general grouping as you are and therefore can be used to symbolize the idea that “we’re all in this together.” For example, a dream about looking out over the neighborhood and seeing the souls of children being sucked up into the night sky is related to the dreamer’s thoughts about the sacrifices that have to be made in order to sustain a high standard of living. Parents in that neighborhood have to work long hours and that means less time with their children. In turn, the children lose something essential, symbolized as their souls. A dream about a Chinese family moving into her neighborhood symbolizes that the dreamer feels out of place. She stands out in her peer group as a bit eccentric, the same way that a Chinese family stands out in a neighborhood composed of other ethnicities. Neighbors can be used to symbolize divisions, particularly if fences or other obstructions are involved. For example, a dream about a fence being built between the dreamer’s house and a neighbor’s house is related to the dreamer’s perception that his family is better off financially than his neighbors, and the disparity creates a divide between them. Dreaming about your old neighborhood under attack or demolished can symbolize a break with your past. A way you used to think about life and the world is under attack or gone. You’ve been through big changes. Buildings such as houses and stores are structures, and metaphorically so are belief systems, values, and morals.
