Using psychology to study our database of dreams we find that "pirate" dreams linked to these feelings

- "I behaved in WILD AND ADVENTUROUS way yesterday with my roommate. I pretended to ravish her." (A pirate being a symbol of lawless behaviour. Pirates are associated with out of control behaviour.)

i have never met a pirate so why would I have a pirate dream? Dreams portray the reality of your emotions - and in your emotions all sorts of pirates can exist as metaphors for your behaviour and the behaviour of others.
Pirates 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 a pirate may link to wild and spontaneous action from yesterday so if you behaved wildly then its a good guess that the dream is about that.

Full list of keywords
In practice pirates have several symbolic meanings. Here is the full list.
- "Wild activity" (Pirate dreams can link to wild activity in any way and in any context. Did you behave in a particularly wild way the day before? Did someone act very spontaneously with you? When you think of the word pirate who does it make you think of?)
- "Excitement and adventure" (Are you bored with life right now? Are you needing to cut loose and do something just a little dangerous? Who has been behaving uncharacteristically wildly?)
- "A tendency to dominate" (Who has a tendency to dominate and take things over? Have you started to dislike someone because they take things over?)

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. If something important happened yesterday then its probably linked to that. For instance, one dream in our database featured a drunken pirate ravaging a dancing gypsy girl. The day before the dreamers flat mate flashed him (Showed him her breasts for a joke). In response he pretended to ravage her. Its so obvious that the dream is about this. The sexy dancing gypsy represents the wild actions of his flatmate. The drunken pirate was symbolic of him pretending to ravage her.

Dreams can capture some very sophisticated thoughts. For instance if you have been very bored recently then the excitement and danger which a pirate represents may not seem relevant. But danger and excitement is the exact opposite so that could be relevant in a way. The words are connected in that they have the opposite meaning. So we can deduce that that the dream captures this exact thought - "I have been so bored. I crave for excitement and danger." try to see how you can weave together different symbolic meanings which are grounded in your recent thinking right now.
