Circle

In a way, a circle can represent you and all of the different aspects of your personality.

A new city can be either a good or bad dream term, depending on what is going on in the city and which city you are in. If you are in a bustling city, then this can symbolize your desire to have more opportunities. If the town is deserted, then you are likely to be feeling lonely.

If you are in a strange city in your dream, then this is a bad sign. This shows that you are uncomfortable in your current situation. You need to change your way of living if you want to become a happier person.
