List

The list may be a personal reminder of things that need doing, so may refer to changes you need to make in your life, or things to attend to at work or in a relationship, depending on the setting of the dream. The list may refer to personal qualities, a sort of summary of your abilities or potential. It may remind you of important realisations, important facts or situations which you need to be aware of. List in dreams may also present you with choices to make, so refer to decisions you are facing.

Are you on a list of people – if so is it a waiting list, or a list with the ‘best’ at the top? What feelings do you have about the list? A healing list, or a list to be included or not included in an activity, a mailing list, or a list of people you fancy?

Some people have a list of things they want to do – in life or before they die. A list of places they want to visit or spend time in. Doyou have a list of what yu want to achieve?

 Example: We were looking over lists of concerts (rock). He said, “You’ve probably not been to many.” I said, “Ha. I certainly have.” He showed me his arm. Two rock groups were engraved in red on his arm. “The Million Dollar Kid” and the “Crystal XXX.” We strolled down the street. I told him how the people had kindly re-hired me and that I was feeling pretty good now and I could handle it.

Example: He was jealous of my interest in this other man. I told him, “Hey, I’m 21 years old.” He looked hurt and scared. He sneered and said, “If you see this man, I’ll cut you off from my money. Ha! How will you support yourself?” I felt confident, strong. I said, “I have skills and talents.” I listed some and added that I could type 70 words a minute and if I had to, I could be a clerk-typist. I wouldn’t starve. I left him.

    Wynand – You have not given enough information for me to understand your dream. Things to remember when writing to us with your dream:
    Write down anything that you think might have triggered the dream or links with it in some way.
    Write down the whole dream; do not leave out parts because you consider them not important.
    Put in any insights you have about people or animals in your dream – it has to be the character of them as they appear in the dream. See Characters and People in Dreams and Being the Person or Thing
    Please let us know your age and gender, and any information about your life, health or anything about you that might relate to your dream.
    Describe any emotions expressed or indicated in the dream.

    But from the little you did give it seems that work causes you great stress, and it suggests a pressing need to deal with attitudes or emotions that you cannot easily allow release in your everyday relationships, or even alone. The reason being that you might feel others will be or judgemental about what you feel. It is certainly about inner stuff that you are trying to pass out of your life but is hanging about.

    Marian – It is an old superstition that an itchy palm is a sign that you may receive money or good luck. But if it is constantly itchy while awake, it might indicate you have had contact with a skin irritant.

I dreamt of where I had finished a session in school but when I returned for the second session,I was asked to go and check the master list for my name.I flipped through frantically with my teacher but couldn’t find my name.I was sure my name lies somewhere on that list,then I became anxious and began to cry before I woke up. What does this dream connote?

Dreamt a co-workers baby had fallen into the pool and I managed to get it out but I was holding the baby by his legs and patting its back so that he would breathe again. screaming fot help that I didn’t know how to do CPR.

When the co worker got to me I had eventually revived the baby.
When I took the baby out of the pool, while it was still under water, his facial expression was peaceful, relaxed with his hands crossed over his chest and half a peaceful smile
