Corner
If in a corner of a room or building, it can show you feeling trapped or restricted – or as in the second example, a hidden or little admitted aspect of oneself. Occasionally such boundaries or restrictions might produce a sense of snugness or security. A dark corner suggests an attempt to become unaware, or lack of awareness or insight.
A corner is also a turning point or perhaps a meeting place.
Example 1: ‘I was afraid the thugs would corner and attack me.’ Pauline B.
Example 2: ‘I went into an obscure corner of the cloakroom and hung up the coat – then I went through the pockets.’ Mrs R. E.
Corners are sometimes used in dreams to depict things that have been cast aside or forgotten, perhaps even things hidden or previously unconscious. If not that, then to do with things that are side issues, not central in your life or awareness. Occasionally it shows you doing things without great care or skill, as with the phrase ‘cutting corners’.
There is a type of corner that appears in several dreams. Something threatening, terrifying, or haunting/ghostly appears in the corner of a ceiling, as in the example. The suggestion in the dream imagery is that the fear is in the mind of the dreamer or those around him/her. Concepts or beliefs we hold – such as the devil – and give energy to become actual living presences within us, especially in our imagination and dreams. See Inner World
Example: I walked past the photo stat. room. Two girls came out into passageway, TERRIBLY distressed and spoke of Satan. I went into room and saw Satan in the upper corner leering down and mocking head and shoulders. I calmed the girls and everything became okay. Mr. A. A.
When a street or projected room corner: Approaching the unexpected or unseen. Therefore the possibility of meeting new experiences. This also might indicate taking care.
Because you have the possibility of several directions here, it might involve indecision or making a decision. If you are standing on the corner then you are exposed to public gaze and unplanned events.
Someone going around a corner: This suggests there are things they do that you do not know about, or they are acting independently of you. Obviously this is often as aspect of yourself. If someone or something appears from around a corner it shows someone or something coming to your attention, or into your life.
Beyond or around the corner: The unknown or unexpected. Things you are not aware of or you hide from yourself.
Idioms: Cutting corners; drive somebody into a corner; in a tight corner; knock the corners off someone; turn the corner; hole in the corner affair.
Useful Questions and Hints:
Am I trying to stay out of the limelight at the moment by hiding in a corner?
How am I relating to the corner – is it turning a corner (new direction in life); waiting on a corner (hoping for contact and friendship); or cornered (feeling trapped)?
What are the main feelings in the dream, and what part are they playing in my life?

Been having the same dream for a while now, I’m always in my room and it doesnt matter if its the same room I always feel like I wake up seeing someone looking at me, or like someone is at the edge of my bed or in the corner of my room crouching. I recently had a dream of this again except this time it was of a naked being glowing in a sort of pinkish color wearing a deer antler crown with flowers.. Idk how to stop dreaming of this.. Ive changed rooms, changed the color of my room changed the way my furniture was set up in my room. Just trying to understand this dream though..
MariLynn – We make the mistake of taking our very real values from our outer life into our inner life of dreams. So there are many mistaken ideas we have about what part dreams play in our life. For a start whenever we dream its images are not like real life, because a dream is nothing like outer life where things could hurt you, but is an image like on a cinema screen, so that even if a gun is pointed at you and fired it can do no damage – except if you run in fear; so, all the things that scare you are simply your own fears projected onto the screen of your sleeping mind.
The fact that you keep seeing a figure looking at you is saying that it is important to realise that every image, every scary or terrifying thing, is taken place inside you, in your mind, as you sleep. This means that every awful animal, every scary thing, or person, is created out of your own fears or beliefs and must not be seen as outside you as happens in waking awareness. The problem is that we are often scared of or frightened of experiencing our emotions and so they confront us in our dreams. Avoiding them or controlling them is like running away from oneself – there is no escape.
The naked glowing figure with the flowered antlers is a sign that you are waking up to more of you. The human personality – the You that you call yourself, with a name, is only a tiny thing. It is moved and tossed around by all manner of drives, ambitions, emotions, fears, temptations, worries, love and desire with its pains and hopes. No plant or creature grows from a dead seed, and each living seed carries within it all the past gathered from all its forebears. So, the seed in your mother’s womb is as old as and even older than human kind, and you carry that wisdom or memories in you. But in this life you developed a new brain, and the memories you gathered this time are what you built your personality from, but beneath that is a very ancient self. And that bigger self tries to communicate with you through dreams.
For each of us is immersed in a ‘river’ of constant change. If you think about it you have been carried, pushed, impelled by this current as you were moved through babyhood, childhood, teenage and adulthood, and there are more stages of growth beyond adulthood. And as we passed through these changes we died to our old self in order to change to the new. It is the current of Life. This current then carries us on through old age and through the gates of death. All the time we are faced by decisions, and each decision directs us on a different path, helping to create our future. And this is a force of growth and change.
So changing rooms or moving furniture is like standing in the way of your growth, for each of us is immersed in a ‘river’ of constant change. If you think about it you have been carried, pushed, impelled by this current as you were moved through babyhood, childhood, teenage and adulthood, and there are more stages of growth beyond adulthood. And as we passed through these changes we died to our old self in order to change to the new. It is the current of Life. This current then carries us on through old age and through the gates of death. All the time we are faced by decisions, and each decision directs us on a different path, helping to create our future. And this is a force of growth and change.

I’m having a hard time trying to remember this dream that I have, but I remembered I was in my mom’s room (it didn’t look like the one my mom has) I was brushing my hair so then I looked at the corner and the corner of the room became dark and my vision became a little brownish gray, and not too sure if you’ve heard of fnaf 4, but one of the animatronics was chasing me, I think it was either nightmare chica, nightmare, or nightmare foxy, so then I found my mom, I told her what was happening, and she said nothing was there, and I also remember another part of the dream when I was running away from my house at night, my vision was like I was half blind, and either nightmare chica or nightmare foxy was chasing me

Cristina – Your mum’s room often represent the influence you unconsciously picked up from living with your mother. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/the-conjuring-trick/
It has set the scene for what follows – the fact the room did not look like her actual room is because it wasn’t – it was the information you gathered through living with her. Maybe she passed on some of her anxieties.
Your vision of the world changes because of these influences.
Example: I am in a landscape and notice that everything is brown; the whole world is brown and lifeless. There is also a feeling of solemnity or dullness. I have enough lucidity to wonder why the world of my dream is so brown and dull. As I ask this I become more aware of what feeling the brownness expresses. It is seriousness – with no room for humour or fun. The feeling deepens, real enough and clear enough to look at and understand. I see it is my father’s attitude to life that I have unconsciously inherited. I realise how anxious he always felt about life, and how I took this in. That is how I became a ‘brown’ person. I see too that I do not need to be either brown or serious anymore.
Then the landscape changes. There are trees, plants and animals in brilliant colour. I wonder what this means, and the landscape begins to spin until the colours blend and shimmer. Suddenly my body seems to open to them, as if they are spinning inside of me, and with a most glorious feeling, a sensation of vibrating energy pours up my trunk to my head. With this comes realisation. I see how stupid I have been in my brown, anxious existence, how much life I have held back. The animals and plants are the different forces in my being that blend into energy and awareness. I feel I am capable of doing almost anything, like loving, writing a song, painting, telepathy, or speaking with the dead. This sparkling vibrating energy is life itself and can, if I learn to work with it, I can grow into any ability or direction I choose. I wake with a wonderful sense of my possibilities.
So the nightmare creatures of fnaf 4 are after you because you too are anxious and are scared of your own imaginations. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-dictionary/masters-of-nightmares/ – http://dreamhawk.com/approaches-to-being/opening-to-life/
Whenever we dream its images are not like real life, because a dream is nothing like outer life where things could hurt you, but is an image like on a cinema screen that even if a gun is pointed at you and fired it can do no damage – except if you run in fear. So all the things that scare you are simply your own fears projected onto the screen of your sleeping mind.
I drempt I was walking around a corner and saw a red headed woman that I went to school with who still lives around me but I don’t talk to her or anything. She said hello and invited me in for tea. I said OK. I went in and saw another woman who I also don’t really associate with and see was on the couch and she said hello and there was a little boy there. Seemed like the boy was hers(second woman on couch). In a dream a little while ago I saw the red head woman, again at a corner, I think she had a stroller and she said “you can say hi you know”. I said I know Im just shy type.person.
Dear Aaron – What I see in your dream is that you have moved from not being able to communicate with your inner female towards accepting her invitation to drink a cup of tea with her. She is doing her best as well to help you connect with her.

Although you may not spend time with these two women in your waking life, it serves a purpose to explore how you see them – what of their characteristics are most important or noticeable to you – or how you feel about them.
Did you know that red hair can also be a symbol of passionate thoughts?
A way to really get a deeper feeling understanding of these two women, but also of your own dream figure and the little boy – a symbol for your inner child – is to use http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/acting-on-your-dream/#BeingPerson
