Awful in dreams: Dreams are symbolic versions of our own thoughts. The symbols used are linked to how our minds store conceptual thoughts and emotions. If analysed properly they will translate into a quote which captures a key feeling at the time of the dream. Since dreams are linked to the here and now then most dreams will translate into the types of thoughts we would tell a good friend or write down in a diary. For example a dream which has "awful" in it could translate into a word like "depressed". Try to see if that word appears in your key feelings. For instance if you were thinking "It is starting to get to me. I am now depressed " In that way the word "awful" is linked to something that we are "depressed".
