DREAM INTERPRETER
Dream meanings - enabling you to interpret your own dreams
Tony Crisp
BURGLAR This might indicate fears or difficult emotions arising from within you in a way that threatens you. If this applies it could indicate neglected parts of yourself which if met could enlarge who you are as a person.
The burglar might also suggest the loss of valuable talents or qualities that you have robbed yourself of through your behaviour - or been robbed of in some way during your growth and development.
The burglar and intruder also frequently depict the fact that sometime in your life you have experienced shocking intrusion. This may have taken the form of people forcing you into experiences you fought against - such as sometimes happens in dental or medical operations where you feel violated or broken into. Or it could be a sexual burglary during which you were broken into in that way.
Female dream: Sometimes repressed desire for or fear of male partner or sex; or desire for a better sexual relationship.
Burglar alarm: Something is happening that you are not aware of and are being warned of in the dream. Look at the events in the dream to define what it is. It can also mean, if you yourself trip the alarm, that you have engaged in activities or feelings that you have an inbuilt warning against. This is not to say these things are 'wrong'. It might be that your social training and cultural taboos are being triggered.
Useful questions are:
If I am the burglar, what it it I plan to do or steal, and what is that saying about my hidden intentions?
What do I feel about this intrusion, and do I connect any past events or underlying feelings in myself with that?
Have I been repressing something in myself that is now emerging and I feel threatened by?
BURIAL This is obviously connected with death. So it can represent fear of death of self, or loved ones, unconscious desire to see others dead, or at least out of the way. But it also is often used when we feel buried away from society, or buried under the events of life. Sometimes we bury or repress a memory, emotion, desire or talent. Our past is buried within us. Your dream might also use this drama to show you letting go of the past, of something that is now dead, or has been let die.
The earth also can represent our mother or the past. Burial may therefore symbolise being killed or ruled by an overpossessive mother, or inability to break from her dominating influence. Being weighed down by past actions.
Buried alive: Memories of birth and its fears.
BURNING/BURNT Powerful emotions, burning passions or deeply felt urges. See: Fire.
BUS Something you are doing or undertaking in the company of other people, or in public. Sometimes this relates to feelings about overweight.
Bus stop: Waiting for events to take you somewhere; being involved with strangers or other people in a direction you are taking; depending on social events to get you to where you want to go; trying to get somewhere in life; trying to leave something or someone behind.
BUTCHER A butcher may denote a fear of another person’s anger; or being a butcher symbolise your own aggressiveness. Or it can represent material philosophy, worldly attitudes, lack of love and feeling.
BUTTERFLY The beautiful that emerges from the unpromising, or ugly. The spiritual that emerges from physical experience. Transformation.
BUY/BUYING Your desires for thing, or your search for something you want, or feel you want. Making choices, or being able to make choices. See: Shop.
