Using psychology we find that "warning" in dreams in our database link to the following real feelings. Each quote summarizes the thought or feeling which triggered the dream. Full analyses of these dream feature in the links at the bottom of this page.

- "I know that moving to a different state will CAUSE PROBLEMS." (you are warning yourself about possible problems ahead. The dream may seem unrelated to real life but nevertheless the warning in the dream is how your dream mind expresses this worry)

- "I am VERY UNHAPPY in my marriage yet I do not want to do anything about it." (a warning that things are getting too much for you)

- "I am becoming AWARE OF MY BEHAVIOUR and how damaging it is. She treats my autistic friend in a much tougher way. I just give in to his worst behaviour but its not good" (a worry that you are not treating a vulnerable person in the right way. You have to be firm with them)

- "I SENSED SOMETHING BAD last night but no one would believe me" (only you take notice of the warning signs)

- "My father has cancer and I SENSE SOME REAL STRESS caused by my mother who is not coping well" (your intuition is warning you)

- "I sorted out my children's bedroom yesterday. I was CAREFUL NOT TO GIVE IN to their bad behaviour" ( a need to be strict at the right times)

- "I pretended to ravage my flat mate last night. I REALISED I SHOULD NOT CROSS A LINE. It was just play fighting."(a warning not to go too far)

- "My husband is setting up a business. I am a bit NERVOUS OF THIS BIG CHANGE." (changes in your life always take some getting used to)

Warnings 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 warning may simply mean that you have been making big changes in your life. The dream then is symbolic of the mind needing to adjust to new circumstances and not liking changes.

Full list of keywords which link to "warnings" dreams
In practice "warning" dreams have several symbolic meanings. Here is the full list.
- "Risky behaviour" Did you make a joke of something yesterday which was pushing the boundaries? Did you do something that crossed a line yesterday? If so the dream is about you trying to keep from going too far.
- "Bad behaviour" Did you witness something that shocked you yesterday? Have you just broken a rule and were worried that you might be found out?
- "Doing things the right way" Did you learn something yesterday which helped teach how to deal with people in a respectful way? Have you just learnt a new way of doing something? If so the dream is about you not wanting tio fall into bad habits.
- "Knowing when to stop" Are you in a relationship where you want to speak out about something? If so the dream is about you not making a situation worse.
- "Making a big change in your life" Are you wanting to move away or change job? If so the dream is about you not wanting to make a hasty decision.
- "Unsettled situation" Are you having constant problems somewhere and you are trying to avoid trouble?
- "A bad feeling about something" Have you just been somewhere which gave you an eerie feeling? Has someone just freaked you out?

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. For instance if you have been in a very unsettling situation then the "warning" could represent the dream minds wish to tread carefully. Try to think of a quote which captures your feelings (in the case just mentioned it could be something like "Things are very unsettled at work. I have got to tread carefully or I could lose my job". Think of a quote like that as that is probably the meaning of the dream. Your mind has simply used symbols to store a thought which is currently on your mind).

Dreams can represent very sophisticated thoughts. One dreamer in our database had an end of the world dream with her boyfriend. In it he was saying how he loved her but it was not in a very convincing way. In real life she was upset because sometimes he sent out some very mixed signals. He wasn't good at showing his affections. The end of the world dream was linked to her wish to know how he truly felt. In an end of the world situation he would be expected to be gushing with emotions telling her his undying affection for her. So the dream is about her intuition that he did not really love her. The dream probably captures this feeling exactly - "I know he tells me he loves me but I am not really convinced he means it".
