Every night, any person on Earth sees different dreams and experiences some kind of sensation during sleep, sometimes these imaginary images seem clear and understandable, and sometimes the subconscious mind tries to send us deeper and more vague messages. Dreams are a universal language, which makes dream research a fascinating area because people from different cultures report similar dreams with recurring symbols in different ways.
Although in dreams there is no single meaning of symbols and images, there are a number of common symbols and dreams that have traditional meanings, they are accepted throughout the world. This is why you should spend a few minutes learning 14 common symbols that should not be ignored if they appear in your dreams.
Boxes
If you dream of boxes and do not plan to move in the near future, your subconscious mind may try to convey a message about the state of mind. In general, the presence of boxes in a dream indicates that we feel that something is hidden from us, while many boxes symbolize that you have problems handling and containing your feelings, and therefore you have to hide and even suppress them. In addition, empty containers usually present a feeling of frustration.
Babies

Babies symbolize the creativity hidden deep within you that seeks to break free and become an integral part of your skills. After a dream in which children appear, it is important to find a hobby that allows you to express your wonderful talent that you can share with others. However, babies may appear in dreams because your immediate environment requires more than usual, and you may even feel the growing dependence of the people around you.
The phone rings
Throughout our lives, we often tend to ignore what our soul is trying to convey to us. A phone ringing in a dream may indicate that something in your personality was able to communicate correctly with consciousness, and that the time has come to understand the part of yourself that you left behind. On the other hand, it is possible that this understanding can help you cope with the situation you are experiencing by solving problems on your own. If you don't answer the call while you sleep, you probably don't want to face the challenges of your life right now.
Moon
If the image of the moon plays a significant role in your dream and is not just a minor part of the background, it is likely that your creative side is trying to break out. Try to understand what your passions are and what your creativity hides in you. It can even make your life so much better.
Flight
While most of us would like to be able to fly, dreams of flying and your level of success in flight are indicative of the sense of control you have in your life and symbolize a sense of security and the ability to achieve goals. Flying high reflects the best and most euphoric situation, which indicates a lot of self-confidence, while flying low close to the ground indicates your fear of failure, which can lead to great disappointment in reality.
Roads
As in life, road travel can be difficult or easy, and its meaning changes accordingly. An important question is what are your road conditions. Roads and paths symbolize the journey that you go through in your life: if you see a clear path, it means that you know what you want to achieve in life and where you want to go. But if your path is unclear and difficult to navigate, it is likely that your subconscious is trying to convey uncertainty about the future.
Flowers
Just as flowers often make people happy in reality, in a dream they usually indicate that everything is going well. If you see a flower blooming in your dream, new opportunities are likely in front of you, while the sprouts symbolize that you are about to see the results of a large investment. However, if the flower loses its vitality and withers, it may mean that something is coming to an end in your life.
Water
Dreams that include different sources of water reflect your level of ambition. If you see a huge ocean, it might be time to take the initiative and not be afraid of risks so that you can conquer big goals and discover as many diverse opportunities in life as possible. On the other hand, if you see weak currents and shallow pools, you are probably trying to take on more than you can right now.
Car accident
If you have a dream about a car accident, you should pay attention to this, especially if you yourself were in an accident. Such a dream may indicate that you are very angry about something that bothers you. You need to pause for a second and take the time to decide what is on your mind, because the lack of a solution to the problem is holding you back and keeping you from moving forward in life. It is also possible that being involved in a car accident can predict another factor that will hold you back in life and it is important to be aware of this possibility.
Cheating
When someone dreams of disloyalty to their partner, it usually symbolizes suppressed feelings of guilt from everyday life. If the dreamer himself commits an act of betrayal, it is likely that this thought is in his mind. It is also possible that the dreamer was not completely honest with his partner, and this is a subconscious way of saying that he is not feeling at ease about hiding certain information. On the other hand, if in a dream the partner is a liar, the person feels insecure in their relationship.
Balloons
Although balloons actually appear during the happy moments of our lives, their appearance in a dream can indicate different things. If you see balloons appear, they probably symbolize the sense of danger in your hopes. On the other hand, balloons flying high into the sky indicate disappointment in your life that you are trying to overcome. Black balloons in a dream usually symbolize a feeling of depression about a recent event, and if there are many balloons, it may be time to change your perspective and interpretation of various situations in life.
Dead animal
Dreaming about a dead animal can indicate thoughts that disturb your peace of mind on a daily basis; feeling disconnected from reality, feeling in control of life, or losing an innocent part that existed in you in the past. Since animals are very important in our life, a dream associated with death can hint at the end of something very important to you or a feeling of detachment from the reality in which you have lived until now. In addition, if you killed an animal in a dream, it may mean that you have acquired the skills necessary to control what intrigues you in your life, but you are not yet ready to take the last step to complete the task.
Reflection
When you look at your reflection in a dream, it indicates that you must find out who you really are, regardless of appearance. You must pay attention to the person who lives inside - to the soul. You need to learn to use your good qualities to correct the shortcomings that prevent you from developing, and for this you need to understand what obstacles stand in your way. If you're looking in a mirror or a water source and can't see the reflection looking at you, you probably feel like you've lost yourself.
Vehicles
If a car, plane, ship, train, or any other vehicle appears in a dream, it shows you the direction in which your life is moving and how much you feel in control of the indicated route. If you see a certain vehicle in a dream, it symbolizes that you have the strength to fulfill your desires and achieve the goal that you have chosen. Another interpretation, which may be appropriate for a life situation, is that the car highlights obstacles that you think need to be overcome in order to conquer the peak in sight.
