Dirty in dreams: Understanding dreams is not so difficult. In practice dream symbols translate into certain words within the English language. For instance a dream about "dirty" may simply translate into a word like "unhappy". This is just the way the mind stores thoughts: Clean stands for happy; and dirty stands for unhappy.

Its a fallacy that dreams capture unconscious thoughts - dreams represent thoughts that we are all too aware of. A typical dream would translate into the types of thoughts that we might write down in a diary or tell a best friend. Dreams represent your key thoughts which pinpoint the problems and thoughts right now. Try to write down some quotes which capture your feelings right now and try to include the words and phrases above. For instance if you have had a "bad feeling about someone" then the meaning of your dream could link to a thought such as "I had a bad feeling about my supervisor. He just treats people like dirt". The various symbols in your dream may not appear to be relevant to such a thought but symbolism is how the mind stores concepts and feelings.
