FOR FEATURES ON DREAMS SEE DREAM ENCYCLOPEDIA

WHITE This often refers to greater awareness, to clearness of mind and purity. It also may suggest cleanness or light feelings. Sometimes white is felt as very threatening in a dream. This may link with memories of white painted hospital wards, or bed sheets. Maggots, mould, dead or sick people and shrouds can also be white, so white can depict death or sickness.

White clothes: A sense of wholeness; purity or marriage.

White animals: Urges and sexuality which has been accepted or integrated with conscious activities.

WIDOW May depict unconscious desires to be alone. Or can suggest you are not expressing your intellectual abilities and constructive thought, but depend too much on the emotions and irrational nature to guide you.

In a man's dream it may point to desires for an experienced woman who is available.

In a married woman's dream it can show the anxieties about being alone, or a way of meeting the husband's death. Women know men often die before them as women are longer lived, so they dream of a husband's death as a way of getting used to the loss.

WIFE How you feel about your relationship with your wife. Your feelings for her. May stand for your emotional, irrational nature, or intuition.

Being a wife: If you are not already married then it show you practising this role to see if you feel comfortable in it, even experimenting with different scenarios.

If already married: Possibly showing what you feel about your role as wife.

WIG False attitudes or thoughts; an assumed social front. An attempt to assume a different personality. See: Hair.

WILD Urges and drives that do not conform to present social standards. This does not mean they are wrong.

WIND Changeability, the ever shifting mental processes, unseen influences in your life. Ideas or other influences that move you or pressurise you. See: Air.

WINDOW Your outlook on life, your contact with other people and outer events. See: Glass.

WINE Vitality, Energy. An influence that changes the way you feel. See: Alcohol; Tea.

WINTER Death, rest, inner processes that have not shown them selves in consciousness. Inactivity. The falling away of outer activity to concentrate on inner consciousness. It can also depict a hard time in life or business, perhaps a period of cold, in the sense of nothing growing in your life, or little feelings. See: Cold; Ice.

WIRELESS See: Radio.

WITCH Your mother as you feel about her in a negative way. Inner forces of the unconscious that are being misdirected. The desire to influence others via their unconscious fears, weaknesses, superstitions. If she is a wise, kindly witch she represents a positive mother symbol, inner wisdom, mother nature, intuition, or inner consciousness. See: Mother.

WOLF See wolf.

WOMAN A woman in a woman's dream: An aspect of herself, but often a facet of herself she is not immediately identifying with.

Goddess, holy or oriental woman: The dreamer's highest potential; what she is capable of but may not yet have lived; her intuition and wisdom transcending her own personality.

Older woman: Could be the dreamer's mother; her feelings about ageing; her sense of inherited wisdom.

One woman one man: Behaviour patterns arising from parental relationship.

Two women and the dreamer: Conflicting feelings or drives.

Woman's sister and female children: Particularly used to represent herself. The character of the dream woman, loving, angry, businesslike, lazy, sexual, give a clue to what part of the dreamer it is referring to. If the dream woman is a person known well, the above can still be the case, but the woman may represent what the dreamer feels about that person.

Woman younger than the dreamer: Oneself at that age. i.e. the feelings you met at that period of your life.

In a man's dream: His present relationship with his own feelings and intuitive self; his sensitivity and contact with his unconscious through receptivity; or how he is relating to his female partner. The latter is especially so if the woman in the dream is his partner.

Old woman: Usually the dreamer's mother. The woman, because she is his feelings, is obviously also his sexual desires and how he meets them.

Oriental woman in European dream: The aspect of mind and emotions that links the conscious personality with its unconscious transcendental wisdom and intuition, and perhaps the capacity to love.

Two women and the dreamer in a man's dream: An 'eternal triangle' situation; conflicting feelings.

Younger woman in a man's dream: Can depict his desires for a woman of that age, or his more vulnerable emotions. See: Girl.

WOMB Childbirth, pregnancy, the female receptiveness and ability to nurture life.

To return to the womb, while it can represent an infantile event, really symbolises the experience or consciousness at that time. This is a state of mind that is merged with all consciousness, yet undefined, lacking self awareness. See: Uterus.

WOOD In general, wood represents ideas, opinions, habits, that have become a fixed part of your nature. Just as the tree is originally green and supple but becomes hard and fixed as solid wood, so our opinions and attitudes, as they develop, are first pliable, then often become rigid. In which case, unless these habits and ideas allow for further growth, the life principle which ever seeks further development, is either repressed, or leaves the old wood to rot. Thus, an old dying tree trunk symbolises parts of self no longer capable of adapting to incoming ideas and experiences. Cutting up wood, building new things with it, is to use old ideas in new ways, and so on.

However, a wood, or collection of trees, has quite a different significance. In folklore and myth, the symbol is used a great deal. Dante, at the beginning of his great poem, says he is lost in a wood. Here it represents not only what has grown in your life and is established, but also what is natural and unconscious. So the wood can represent relaxation, or a journey into yourself. See: Tree.

WOOL May represent the soft, indulgent things of life, gentle thoughts, and pleasure, as in wool-gathering.

WORD In Indian holy writings, and in the bible, the same idea is expressed, In the beginning was the word. Sometimes in dreams a special word is realised or given. Such words are symbols of creative power and should therefore be used in meditation, to rebuild the emotional and mental attitudes or conditions surrounding the word. See: Name.

WORK/WORKED/WORKING Nearly always connects with your work activities, ambitions or actual work environment and situation.

Actually working: You attempts to change a situation or create something.

WORLD Sometimes depicts the 'world' or viewpoints you have created out of your attitudes and responses to events and people. Your personal interactions with people and events.

End of the world: End of the way you have been experiencing or relating to life; fears or feelings about death; anxieties about external events; big change in ones personal growth. See: end of world dreams and fantasies.

Other worlds or dimensions: New ways of experiencing yourself and life; new paradigm; breakthrough to new realisations.

WORM Lowliness, decay, earthiness.

WORSHIP Opening yourself to the influence of what you worship - or to the influence of the ideas or feelings involved in the act of worshipping. It can also be an experience that transcends your usual sense of yourself. In this case a realisation of your wholeness.

WOUND A hurt, perhaps from the past. There are probably strong feelings connected with the wound that might be worth expressing.

WRECK Damage you have experienced to some aspect of your self-image, or even your body. If it is an old wreck, such as a shipwreck, it could point to the memories and feelings surrounding an old relationship.

WRITING Expressing inner self. Clarifying feelings, materialising or recording them and thus making the inner feelings more defined, definite, less vague.
