Human mind is an uncanny vessel that houses infinite things, some of which we consciously understand, and some, which lie engraved deep in our subconscious mind. It is always a subject without much explanation as to why we see a certain dream and what further adds to the weirdness is when we see a similar dream more than once, and yet we remain helplessly clueless about its interpretations.
However, it is not that the world of dreams and visions is a completely dark tunnel. Sometimes, fortunately, we do have some explanations and meanings for the kind of dreams we see, in our everyday lives. Here are interpretations of around 20 common symbols that one might encounter in their dreams.
