Symbol Dictionary

The Symbol Dictionary is an additional resource for those who are interested in learning more about the various symbols and metaphors appearing in their dreams.
At the moment, 2267 entries exist in the database.

It should be pointed out that most of the entries (indeed, at the time of this writing all entries) are based on the work Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted by Gustavus Hindman Miller. The book was written in 1909, and reflects the time it was written in - many of the entries are entertaining rather than accurate from a modern point of view, while some are downright offensive. Furthermore, the author seemed to approach the interpretation of dreams more as a way of telling fortunes than examining the issues plaguing the dreamer's subconscious, so everything should be taken with a large grain of salt.

If you want to add new symbols to the database, you can do so by entering the name of the symbol into the following form (login is required) and then following the instructions in the form that will open up. If you have any questions about how to add material to the Symbol Dictionary, ask either in the Wiki Coding forum (for coding details) or the Symbols General Discussion (for what content is appropriate).
