FOR FEATURES ON DREAMS SEE DREAM ENCYCLOPEDIA

FLOOR Your support, your physical life. You can be floored or overcome. Lying on the floor and finding it difficult to move represents being overpowered by gravity and life experiences. Basic things. Humility.

The floor also represents basic attitudes and confidence. The floor appears without much emphasis in many dreams. This suggests it is depicting the present situation or environment you are in. For instance first floor or second floor would suggest a different situation in which the events of the dream are taking place.

FLOWER/FLOWERS Growing or growth, the opening out of abilities or feelings, as in flowering. Flowers can stand for a type of awareness, or faculty of the mind, like the Chakras of Indian philosophy. Also a sense of beauty, love, emotions. Flowers are used to express your feelings, as in giving red roses. And to lose virginity is called defloration. So the context of the dream is important.

FLUID See: Water.

FLUTE Harmony of the feelings. The expression of your best, or the spontaneous expression of your unconscious. Some folklore and mystics say that God plays us like a flute. The flute can also, due to its shape, have a sexual significance. So it could be the play of passion.

FLYING This has many levels of significance, depending on the dream. It can mean you are flying or fleeing, from something you find difficult to face. This is usually something in your life you try to get away from by using distractions like social life, media entertainments, becoming over idealistic, religious, or living in the clouds of fantasy.

When flying we do not have our feet on the ground and so it can suggest either that you have found a positive expression to your energy, or that you have lost a practical grasp on what is happening. The positive flying when you are not fleeing from something, often indicates independence and the ability to deal well with your emotions or fears.

Flying suggests the desire to rise above things, to attain greater heights, to break free of limiting viewpoints or cultural norms. Freud explained all flying dreams as expressive of sexual desires, intercourse, or life in the womb, which in some cases is true. But flying also represents ambition, abstract thought, and rising above your fears.

Flying, in a plane, or without it, can also symbolise attempts to gain a view of what lies ahead of you in the future, or your potential. From the air we can see ahead, and back. We quickly review where we are heading, and the possibilities of our possible directions.

FLYING SAUCER Suggests some change in yourself, or personal growth; becoming aware of something new, or some new aspect of yourself. For instance a change might be occurring in the way you relate to people or events. This change often results from an inclusive view the unconscious is capable of, but that seldom breaks through into consciousness. Therefore the insights, the view of life it presents, can appear alien. Thus the flying saucer.

FOG Uncertainty, mental ignorance, inability to see ahead, or understand. It also represents an inner condition of mental stagnation. Befogged by too many intellectual queries, doubts or objections. May also show your desire to hide your real motives behind a fog of self deceit.

FOLIAGE Ideas.

FOLLOW/FOLLOWING/FOLLOWED Whatever you are following in the dream indicates what you are being influenced by, what you are pursuing, or what you are looking for, depending on the dream feeling.

If you are being followed, this might show who or what you are influencing, or what is coming into your life, perhaps what you are avoiding.

FOOD This can represent anything you depend on to sustain or strengthen you mentally or physically. To eat excessively may represent a hunger for affection, self confidence, sex, recognition. It may hide a fear or feeling of loneliness and emptiness. It can also denote the things you experience.

In eating we digest what we take in. so food can show you what you are taking in to yourself emotionally, intellectually or physically.

The reaction to what you eat shows what is happening to you from what you are absorbing. Something might sicken you for instance, or make you strong. Food is the building material of the body, and can be the symbol for experience, which is the building material of your personality or mind.

Food or eating plays a large part in the ceremonies of many religions. This is because it portrays your connection with the rest of life, your total involvement with creation. So partaking of food in this sense is a way of acknowledging this immersion in life, and your community with other humans. See: Eating.

FOOT The foundation upon which your life is built. The foot can symbolise beliefs, upon which your actions are built; your basic feelings, upon which your love rests, and so on. Also your direction, the way you are going. Kissing the foot shows it as a symbol of lowliness, earthiness. Putting your feet up gives the foot the meaning of labour, of work. See: Left and Right.

FORCE To use force in a dream usually means we are trying so to direct ourselves in a way that much of our nature cannot naturally comply. Also an expression of hate, aggressiveness, energy, etc.

FORD A practical way through emotions.

FOREST Your natural feelings; the self you are underneath what you express through your needs for social and physical survival; the magical world of the unconscious, full as it is of strange forces, primeval creatures and miraculous people. See: tree.

FORGE/FORGERY A lie. Deceit. See: Blacksmith.

FOREIGN COUNTRIES Different attitude; different mental or emotional 'climate' than one's norm; sometimes represents meeting an aspect of oneself that was previously unconscious, so unknown or foreign; the unfamiliar. One's personal associations or ideas about any particular country need to be explored. See: Abroad.

FORTRESS See: Castle.

FOUNTAIN The flow of life within you. An influence that springs from deep within you, and can satisfy your needs, or cleanse and possibly heal you.

FOUR The symbol of four is the square or cube, representing stability, materialisation, earthiness, strength of a physical nature, permanency. It is the symbol of the four points of the compass; four elements, earth, air, fire and water; four functions, sensation, feeling, thinking, intuition. Four often, perhaps in the form of a square, depicts a sort of physical harmony, a wholeness. Astrologically it is Cancer, the prophet or teacher, realisation at a physical level, home and background, and the breasts. See: Numbers..

FOX Cunning wisdom. Instinctive knowledge. Shrewdness in dealing with what faces you; a tricky person or relationship; street wise; trickiness in regard to events or self judgements. This usually relates to your mistaken interpretation or attitudes to the situation; shrewdness or wisdom gained from life experience; unpredictable behaviour; the ability not to conform; the hunted. See: Animals; other entry on Fox.

FREEWAY See: motorway.

FREEZE/FROZEN To repress emotions. To become cold emotionally and perhaps sexually. To need affection or warmth. To be unfeeling, but sometimes painfully unfeeling.

FRIEND Your feelings or worries about this friend. If the dream friend is no one you know then usually represents the inner intuitive feelings that encourage and advise you. The character of this unknown person will tell you what aspect of yourself the friend displays. Or it may relate to your contact with friends.

FROG This reveals to you the deeply unconscious psychobiological life processes, which transformed you from a tadpole/sperm, into an air breathing frog/adult - therefore the process of life in general and its wisdom. The enormous information such symbols hold if you explore them gives them their power. They lead you to a meeting with what you find difficult or repulsive in life and yourself, which if you can accept transforms into personal potential and power - the frog into the prince story. It is often a form of love that transforms the dark sides of yourself, the toad or beast, into something which is life enhancing. The frog may also depict a sub-personality, an aspect of your character that is usually unconscious, but occasionally shows itself in behaviour. See other entry on frog.

FRONT This usually relates to what you are aware of, and what other people can see, about yourself or what you are doing. This is so whether it is the front of a house, a car, or yourself. It is the 'front' or facade you use to meet other people and events with. It is also the part of yourself that takes most of the impact of relationships and events.

When The term 'the part of yourself' is used, it means those personal traits, attitudes or skills you use. A person may be aggressive in business deals, but this might be something he or she has to use to cope with what is necessary in business. So it is only a 'part' of their nature, perhaps a 'front'.

FRONTIER Making great changes in life; decisive changes; meeting a very different self, and thus a new experience of life. See: Border.

FRUIT Fruits may represent experience or efforts and what emerges from them. Soft or luscious fruits such as fig or peach: May represent female genitals. Long fruit such as banana: May depict male penis. Apple: Temptation; breast.

FROZEN See: Freeze.

FUEL Feeling drives; motivation; whatever has 'fuelled your drive'. Basically energy and resources. But the energy might be dangerously explosive, as with gas/petrol.

FUNERAL This can reflect concerns about death, perhaps because someone close has died and confronted you with death. Death is an important aspect of your life, and drams use such a dream to explore the subject, and find greater wholeness and healing.

Sometimes we dream of seeing someone we know buried when we want them out of our life. So this is a reminder that we want to make a break.

Very occasionally we dream of the funeral of a close relative or friend, and this is because we have an intuitive realisation about their coming death.

Your own funeral: It is a common dream to watch your own funeral. It not only allows you to define what you want to do before you die, but it also shows you what you feel about death. Often this is a great healing. Of course, such a dream might also be a cry for attention or sympathy.

Burying yourself: Leaving an old way of life or old self behind. See: Death.

FUNGUS Feelings about decay or disease. Sick ideas, emotions.

FUR Your animal instincts breaking through into everyday life. These instincts are wholesome and strengthening, so needn't be repressed in most cases. If you have feelings about animal hides, then the fur could relate to this. See: Animals.

FURNITURE Your inner contents, beliefs, opinions, attitudes. If the furniture is from an old home, it relates to things you felt, or a relationship you were in at that time. Domesticity - the disciplines and restraints you use in a relationship, or in your home life.

FUSE An electrical fuse represents that part of your ideas, resolves or confidence that may break down if pressure is brought to bear. Or it can be a word play to indicate unity, bringing together.
