An interpretation of yard dreams

An interpretation of yard 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 back yard in a dream can symbolize the background of your life. The background can be something overlooked, ignored, secret, private, hidden or out of view, especially from the public. A front yard, on the other hand, is typically visible from the street and readily viewable by the public, so in dreams, a front yard tends to be used to symbolize something about you that’s a public part of your life. For example, a man dreams about discovering a raised garden area in his back yard and sprucing it up, thinking it would be a great place to teach yoga. He desires to make teaching yoga more prominent in his life, and “raised area” in this dream means “raised in importance.” Yoga is a private part of his life, in the background. He works in IT by day and teaches yoga by night, and his IT co-workers know nothing about his “secret passion.” These two areas of his life are separate, but that’s about to change. Robbers coming through your back yard can symbolize ways you harm yourself or miss out on something without being fully conscious of it. Think of the symbolism as like the phrases “taken from right beneath your nose,” and “undermining yourself.” Robbers stealing from you is a physical representation of a personal situation, and the fact that they come through the back door could mean you have a blind spot. For example, you don’t see that your tendency to criticize harms your relationships, but you do sense that people are reluctant to get close to you. The same sort of dream imagery can mean that someone is sneaking behind your back, such as when a child disobeys you, a spouse has an affair, or a neighbor spreads rumors. A back yard can symbolize the past because in dreams, anything located behind you or your home in a dream can symbolize the past. See also: Back doors, Burglary, Gardens, Home, Thieves
