SHAPES
Shapes in dreams are often symbolic for what you are thinking or even
experiencing in your life.
Ball
To dream of orbs or balls represents thoughts. Blue orbs
or balls represent positive thoughts and red orbs or balls represent
negative thoughts.
Circle
To dream of a hollow circle represents a cycle. A situation or problem
that keeps repeating itself. Something ongoing or that never ends.
Infinity or continuity.
To dream of
a solid circle represents perfection or a situation that does something
perfectly. Negatively, a solid circle may reflect a problem that
perfectly cancels out positivity or everything that feels good.
To dream of
walking in circles represents feelings of frustration that you can't
make any progress. It may also reflect circular thinking or being
unable to stop thinking about a certain issue over and over. Problems
making a decision or taking action.
To see a circle
with a cross in it represents a perfect sacrifice or sacrificial
attitude. Everything is being done to get rid of something negative.
Consider the
color of the circle for additional meaning.
Example: A man dreamed of walking around in circles. In waking life
he was investigating whether or not his wife had cheated on him and
couldn't come to any certain conclusions. He just kept reexamining
the issue over and over with no answers.
Crucifix
To dream of the cross represents sacrifice. You may be giving up
habits, belongings, beliefs, or some part of yourself for a greater
purpose. It may also symbolize sacrifices you are making for other
people, or caring more about others than yourself. Feeling good
about making a big change.
Negatively,
a crucifix may reflect the looking stupid in front of other people
because you made a bad decision. Making an example of yourself.
A moment of difficult suffering or the difficult choice that may
require suffering.
Although the
origins for the symbolism of a cross would appear connected to Jesus
Christ, the cross is actually a cube that has been unfolded. The
cube represents the universe, or a perfectly balanced space. The
symbol for sacrifice is then derived from the concept of giving
up or unraveling perfection.
Example: A man
dreamed of wanting to fall back onto a crucifix. In waking life
he was considering risking leaving his workplace and looking for
a new job. The crucifix in this case may have reflected his feelings
about risking looking stupid making a big change.
Example 2: A woman

life her husband had died and she felt that she had to endure the
rest of her life taking care of her daughters without him.
Cube
To dream of a cube represents a perfectly balanced space. Often
a symbol for mental or emotional perfection in some area of your
life.
To see a red cube in a dream symbolizes something in your life,
or issues you have that are perfectly negative, or dangerous.
A cube is also a symbol for the universe, because God created it.
Hexagon
To dream of a hexagon represents your life being totally dedicated
to confronting negativity. You might also be experiencing
so much negativity that you don't know what to do about it.
To dream of a hexagon hallway represents a path in life or transitionary
period where you are confronting negativity or feel overwhelmed by
negativity.
Oval
To dream of an oval represents your awareness of something not being
perfect all the time. You may feel that something you want always
escapes you or never happens the way you wanted it to.
Example: A man
dreamed of seeing an orange oval. In waking life he was surrounded
by colleagues who kept ignoring him when it was his turn to speak
at a special function.
Example 2: A woman
dreamed of finding oval coins. In waking life he discovered a helpful
resource to help her study, but she didn't like knowing that it wasn't

experiences, success, and co-operation with others.
To dream of an reversed pentagram represents the expression of your
life based on negative thinking, no principles, or bad intentions. Negative
experiences, failure, and selfish motivations.
The reversed pentagram is often used to symbolize Satanism, but in
the dream language Satanism represents dedication to negative choices.

all. You don't why something is happening or what you're
supposed to do about it.
Rectangle

to change, but isn't impossible. Often a symbol for singularity or
everything you are capable of doing being required to change something
difficult. It may also reflect enormous effort to change a situation
that is easily reversed. It could also mean you or someone else is
completely concerned with only their ideas. The difficulty of getting
something else to listen when it feels important.
Negatively, a
rectangle may reflect succumbing to problems because you don't listen.
Positively, a
rectangle may reflect mastery or expertise earned through enormous
difficulty.
Example: A man
dreamed of seeing his father with a rectangle on his shirt. In waking
life he noticed his father's heath problem worsened and becoming very
difficult to reverse to a stable state.
Square
To dream of a square represents an issue or situation that is
balanced or stable no matter what you do about it. A situation feels
or looks as though it will stay the same no matter how hard you try
to change it.
A square often

that you can't change.
Example: A man

enormously difficult financial situation requiring starting a new
business that wouldn't change no matter what he did to avoid total
bankruptcy.

the negative aspect of creation, and the downward facing triangle
representing the positive aspect of creation.
To see the Star

and bad aspects of your personality. It may also reflect a confrontation
between good and evil.
To see a Star
of David pull apart or separate in a dream is symbolic of negativity
in your life separating from you. It may come at a time when you are
facing unpleasant or difficult experiences in life. Everything
negative is facing everything positive.

or wishes. Spiritual awakening.
To dream of
a starless sky may represent feelings about the future being empty
or with poor opportunities.
People who take
psilocybin mushrooms commonly see rainbow colored stars on their
first trip. This may symbolically reflect how wonderful it feel
to discover and experience psilocybin and having their views on
drugs changed for the better.
Example: A man
dreamed of seeing the sky filled with beautiful stars. In waking
life he had just come back from a spiritual retreat that had awakened
him spiritually. His outlook on life and his future was forever
changed.
Example 2: A
woman dreamed of seeing a sky with no stars. In waking life she
was having doubts about ever being able to get pregnant.
Example 3: A woman dreamed of seeing a stiletto shoe in the stars
at night. In waking life an abusive ex-boyfriend was on life-support

she would never have to worry about his jealousy or abuse ever again
having an effect on her life.
Triangle
To dream of a triangle symbolizes creation, creativity, or chaos.
Triangle may appear in dreams during very unpredictable challenging

a triangle may reflect anxiety about the future as you use all your
resources and skills to overcome a challenge you have never confronted
before. Anxiety about the outcomes of an unpredictable situation.
A "war" to achieve a goal in a social situation or business
situation. Creating challenges that are unnecessary.
A upwards facing
triangle can represent the negative aspect of creation. This may
reflect situations where the final result is unknown. Anger, jealousy,
or bitter competition for something that has never happened before.
The downward
facing triangle represents the positive aspect of creation. Kindness,
generosity, or good intentions in an unpredictable competitive situation.
The symbolism
for a triangle is derived from the direction of the two lines at
the sides confronting each other as they lead to the top. Opposing
sides racing against each other with no rules towards a desired
goal.
A Star of David
is a symbol that uses both the upwards and downwards facing triangles
to represent the battle between positive and negative creation of
our lives.
Example: A man
dreamed of seeing a orange triangle. In waking life he was putting
a lot of work in a creative hobby after losing his job hoping it
would it lead to better opportunities later on.
Example 2: A woman
dreamed of standing inside a yellow triangle to stay safe from demons
who couldn't touch her. In waking life he claimed that she had recently
become a Christian and was "walking with God" now. The triangle
in the dream may have reflected her feelings about her new Christian
life being an ongoing unpredictable challenge as she constantly confronted
new situations with her new mindset of morality. The dream may have
also been a sign that her new Christian mindset was causing problems
with excessive fear of being immoral.
