To dream of a DVD represents an experience that you can have whenever you want. A situation or encounter that you can triggered at will. It may also reflect an ability to relive or repeat a certain kind of experience whenever you feel like it.

A DVD may reflect leisurely experiences you can enjoy whenever you want, the ability to manipulate people or situations to your will, or the ability to take time off whenever you please to pursue interests.

To dream of someone stealing your DVDs represents a person or situation that has compromised your ability to do what you want. You may feel less free, less welcome, or unable to enjoy yourself. People may also not respond to you the same or have as much time to spend with you as before.

Example: A girl once dreamed of watching a smurf dvd with her boyfriend. In waking life she was enjoying talking to him daily about all the wonderful things they were going to do with each other like sharing a house, having kids, or going places together.

Dwarf

To dream of a mythological dwarf represents you or someone else that appears weak, but easily proves its strength when tested. Weakness or powerlessness in appearance that is misleading. Shock that something small can be incredibly powerful.

Dwarves often appear to people who take magic mushrooms because they reflect the initial perception of the mushrooms being impotent to be dangerous or overpowering and the surprises you feel with the opposite effect as the powerful hallucinations set in.

Dwayne Johnson

To dream of Dwayne Johnson or "The Rock" represents an aspect of yourself that is more incredible than someone else about getting attention for being larger than life, embodying optimism, and doesn't take itself too seriously. Behavior that is incredibly tougher than other people about making history being totally awesome and enjoying its reputation like it's not serious.

Negatively, dreaming about Dwyane Johnson may represent overdoing showing off being more incredible than someone else about being larger than life, embodying optimism, and not taking yourself too serious.

Example: A woman dreamed of Dwayne Johnson while sitting in a military clinic awaiting news about her husband's military health status after hearing about her husband's fellow soldiers dying in Iraq. Dwayne Johnson chuckles at how frustrated she must be with her mom. She enjoys his company. In this case, Dwayne Johnson may have reflected an aspect of herself that talked to other people about her husband's tough military life with a sense of optimism, and not wanting to think of dying like it's too serious so nobody else in her family did either.

Dying

To dream of dying represents change that you feel in inevitable. Negatively, dying may reflect feelings of failure or undesirable changes being inevitable.

Dystopian

To dream of a dystopian world represents feelings of despair, hopelessness, and oppression. Feelings of being trapped or oppressed by the current system or way of life. A desire for change or a need to escape from a negative situation. Feelings of never getting to feel free or think how you want again. Anxiety about the future or concerns that society government, or personal relationships are moving in a negative direction. Feelings about evil people in your life that think controlling you is their job.

Alternatively, a dystopian world may symbolize the need to confront and overcome challenges or to resist oppressive forces in one's life.

Example: A man dreamed he was on the Hunger Games train moving towards a dystopian world. In waking life he was experiencing an illegal secretive takeover of his life with hacking by corrupt police that tried to control his work, finances, and personal life. In this case, the dream may represent the man's feelings of being powerless and helpless against the corrupt forces that were trying to control his life, just as the characters in The Hunger Games were powerless against the dystopian government.
