Guillotine in dreams:Understanding dreams is not so difficult. In practice dream symbols translate into certain words within the english language. For instance a "Guillotine" dream may simply capture an everyday thought such as "I am having to make budget cuts". In that way your dream picks out one of the metaphorical meanings of guillotines (Something is for the chop) and applies it to his own situation. Some of his spending has to be "Chopped". He has to make "Cuts".

In practice guillotines have several symbolic meaning. Here is the full list.
- "For the chop" (We often use phrases like "He is for the chop" to describe someone who might be fired at work. Can you think of any situation like that? Has someone just broken the rules? Is someone very unpopular and unwanted?)
- "Cut" (What things do you think of with the word cut? Are you having to cut something out of your diet? Are you having to trim your schedule? Are you having to have your hair cut?! Are you struggling to make the "Cut"?)
- "Budget cuts" (We often link the word "Cut" or "Chop" with budget cuts. Are you in charge of a budget? Are you having to make cuts in your own budget? Will some budget cuts affect you?)
- "Delete" (Deletion is just another word for cut. In what way would you use the word delete? Was something deleted yesterday?)
- "Rejected" (Do you feel rejected? Has someone dropped you from their team? Has your friend "Cut you off"?)
- "Failed" (Have you been "Cut" from the team? Have you been demoted in any way?)
- "Stopped abruptly " (We use the phrase "Cut off" to describe someone who was cut off abruptly. Were you "Cut off mid sentence" yesterday? Was some subject off limits? Was some idea of yours dismissed out of hand?)
- "Something falling dangerously" (We use the phase "That could have chopped my head off" to describe anything that falls dangerously. Did anything fall dangerously yesterday? Your dream maybe about this incident. You maybe thinking "I should be more careful" or "I could have been seriously injured")

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 right now. Try to write down some quotes which capture your feelings right now and try to include the words and phrases above. One dreamer had a dream about marie antoinette getting the guillotine. How could this translate into the here and now. One of the main thoughts on the dreamers mind was his tight schedule. He knew that something would have to be cut. So the guillotine was symbolic of the need to "Cut" someone from the schedule.

Dreams can represent very sophisticated thoughts. If you relate dreams to real life then you can deduce some very complex meanings. For instance one dreamer had a dream about a guillotine and the day before he had been involved in a conversation with someone. He felt that he had crossed the line with this person and was talking about a topic which was off limits. The guillotine was therefore a symbol of him being cut off. We might even say that he had talked about a subject which was banned and that anyone talking about this was under a metaphorical sentence of death. It was that serious - this person really did not want to talk about this subject.
