An unhealthy focus on external validation or a materialistic attitude towards success. Feeling undeserving of recognition or rewards. Frustration if the rewards received do not meet your expectations. Waiting for a payoff that seems never to come, which could be causing resentment.

Example: A young man dreamed of a pastor giving rewards to him and his currently married girlfriend for being the number 1 financial giver to the ministry. In waking life, he was in a relationship with a married woman, twice his age, who wanted to leave her marriage immediately to be with him. In this case, the rewards may have reflected his feeling of hoping that his risk of being in a relationship with a married woman twice his age would be vindicated or payoff in the end.

Example 2: A young man dreamed of his church handing out rewards. In waking life, he was trying to get close to a woman he liked and was beginning to feel a connection with her. In this case, the reward may have reflected his feelings of anticipation for the "payoff" of his emotional investment and efforts in nurturing the relationship.

Rhinoceroses

To dream of a rhinoceros represents pushiness or forcefulness. Aggressive people in your life that you feel don't listen. Feelings about someone aggressively telling you to get out of their way.

Negatively, a rhinoceros may reflect feelings of embarrassment for having overlooked how dangerous or angry someone could be. Fear of getting in someone else's way or interfering in something someone has warned you about not interfering in.

To dream of a white rhino may reflect pushiness or forcefulness that has good intentions. Examples may be doctors forcing you take drugs or parents forcing you to do something.

Example: A woman dreamed of looking at a photo of a rhino. In waking life she was in a lawsuit and her defense was that she remembered the her opponent assertively telling her to not get involved with the issue that was brought to court.

Example 2: A man dreamed of seeing someone inject something into a rhino in order to make it weaker. In waking life he had to borrow money off friends in order to stop his bossy landlord from kicking him out of his house for non-payment of rent.

Ribbons

To dream of a prize ribbon represents feelings about some area of your life being noticed for excellence. Feeling that you have been acknowledged for being the best at something.

To dream of a gift ribbon represents feelings about some area of your life being noticed as special. Feeling that something is uniquely "just for you."

Ribs

To dream of ribs (rib cage) represents how insured you feel about being unable to lose. Some area of your life where there is guaranteed protection that you don't even have to think about.

Any harm or danger to your ribs in a dream may reflect feelings about your fundamental sense of security being under attack. Feeling that a level of security you have and never worry about in under threat. Vulnerability to something you've never been vulnerable to before.

To see skeleton rib bones in a dream may reflect a pointless need for security or defense. An area of your life where there has been total failure, but someone or something refuses to acknowledge it.
