Using psychology we find that REAL "danger" dreams link to the following real feelings. Each quote represents the thought or feeling which triggered the dream. Full analyses are placed in links at the bottom of this page.

- "I have got DEPRESSION - I feel very PARANOID and see PROBLEMS EVERYWHERE." (danger linking to a real sense of danger in the dreamers mind)

- "I have a lot of TENSION at work. I have tried being considerate but I keep losing it." (a situation is getting out of hand in real life)

- "I think the dream is a premonition of a CAR CRASH involving someone I know."

- "I know longer believe in my husband. I know breaking up with him will cause a lot of PROBLEMS especially for my daughter." (danger is associated with problems in your mind)

- "I just had sex with another man. This is something which feels very RISKY but I could not help it." (the unknown is associated with danger)

- "I am trying to AVOID DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY which I suffer from a great deal." (danger that the dreamer feels is real)

- "My therapist has been trying to help me OVERCOME PHOBIAS." ( a dream is about a real or in this case imagined fear)

- "I have been suffering from PTSD and keep having FLASHBACKS which really SCARE me." (a real danger cannot be forgotten - it keeps reappearing in flashbacks)

- "I SUFFER FROM ANXIETY but I am trying to put my illness in perspective as everyone suffers from anxiety." (the dreamer is assessing how real his fears are)

- "I am in love with a man who does not love me back. It is FRAUGHT WITH DANGER." (a difficult relationship triggers a dream with danger.)

- "I want to write a letter to a man I love but it is a very RISKY thing to do. I will not mention my son as this is ESPECIALLY RISKY."

- "I want to contact my siblings who are not even aware of my existence but this is a very DANGEROUS AND RISKY thing to do."

- "I SENSED SOMETHING BAD as my boyfriend was checking out a waitress last night."

- "I want to get a job that I want but this will cause PROBLEMS as my parents want me to follow a more commercial path."

- "I did not invite my friend to a book club meeting which was a bit of a RISKY thing to do as she will be OFFENDED."

- "I live a CRAZY life but this dream has made me concentrate on being MORE SENSIBLE AND CAUTIOUS."

- "I have been trying to manage my ANXIETY but I see danger everywhere."

- "My mother has caused more PROBLEMS with my hsuband. He was trying so hard to please her."

- "This ECONOMIC CRISIS in the news could cause me many PROBLEMS. The CONSEQUENCES will be far reaching."


"Danger" in dreams: Understanding dreams is not so difficult. In practice dream symbols translate into certain words within the English language. For instance a dream with "danger" in it may simply translate into a phrase like "phobia" and the dream capture an everyday thought such as "I am seeing my therapist tomorrow and I am trying really hard to conquer my fears". Dreams will link to thoughts which can be translated into quotes like this. Once you can think of a quote like this you start to really touch on the heart of a dreams meaning.

Keywords linked to "danger" in dreams
In practice "danger" in dreams has several symbolic meanings. Here is the full list. Try to write down quotes which capture your key feelings right now but which also feature the words listed below.
- "Abusive relationship" (Are you involved in a relationship which is often abusive? Did you get involved in an argument the day before the dream? If so your dream could be about your wish to be treated with more respect.)
- "Risky behaviour" (Did you do something which was extremely risky but you got away with it? Have you been thinking about doing something which could end up in disaster yet you are intent on doing it? Are your thoughts a little divorced from reality and you are thinking about doing something which is warped and silly? If yes then you need to take a reality check.)
- "Phobias" (Do you have strong social phobias and find it difficult to meet up with other people? Do you spend far too much time on your own avoiding stressful situations with people you feel intimidated by? Have you been emotionally damaged in the past and try to avoid people and situations which will be too difficult for you? Do you have trust issues which you find difficult to overcome? Have you been trying to figure out how to cope with severe stress? Do you suffer from PTSD which results in flashbacks which you find difficult to cope with? Do you tend to put off situations which cause you stress?)
- "A precarious situation" (Are you worried about something which is in danger of getting out of hand? Are you worried about losing your job? Do you take too many risks in life? Are you worried about a situation which could occur which will be highly confrontational and stressful?)
- "Challenging yourself" (Do you like to push yourself by getting yourself into challenging situations? Have you been thinking of doing something a bit different which may result in problems and failure?)
- "Thinking about making major changes in your life" (Are you thinking about making major changes in your life such as ending a relationship or looking for a new job? If so the dream maybe about you thinking through the consequences of such major change.)
- "Deteriorating health" (Are you worried about your health deteriorating? Has your health taken a sudden change for the worse? Have you been thinking about your worsening health?)
- "Accident" (Did you nearly have an accident yesterday? Do you think the dream could have been a premonition of an accident that you had the day after the dream?)

Dreams are in the here and now which means that any analysis is made much more easier. Many people make the mistake of trying to link a dream to something in the long and distant past. So any analysis inevitably links a dream to something vague and deep in the past and too general to have any real meaning. In this case a dream where there is "danger" can simply translate into a phrase like "challenging yourself". Always try to translate a dreams meaning into a quote about something very specific. For instance, in the case of the example just given the meaning could link to a thought like "I know my presentation will be extremely stressful tomorrow but I enjoy a good challenge. It's part of my personality."

What immediately comes to mind will usually give you the answer to your dreams meaning. Dreams are in the here and now because they are part of the process whereby we transfer thoughts and emotions from short term into long term memory. Simply look for associations with the symbols in your dream and think of what comes into your mind. When you make a connection look for other associations which will help you understand how your mind stores intuitive thoughts.
