Looking up the part of your body that the disability affects or the name of the disability (ex: blind, deaf) can also provide you with additional dream symbolism.
Disappear

To feel disgusted in your dream can suggest that you are uncomfortable with some part of your personality. You may feel like you want to change, but you may not know how you should go about changing.

Dishwasher
To dream of a dishwasher suggests that you have some problems that you need cleaning up. Face your issues head-on so that you can get over them and resolve them faster.

Disinherited
To dream that you have lost inheritance for one reason or another in a dream can suggest that you will come into an unfavorable social status shortly or come into an argument with your family. Even though it may not be enjoyable, the best way to end this drama is to do something that makes your family happy, even if it does not make you happy in the short term.
Disk
Since the disk is in the shape of a circle, it can represent coming “full circle,” the “circle of life,” and any other cyclical moment. This likely has to do with technology or entertainment coming full circle.
See Circle* for further dream symbolism.
Dismemberment
To dream that you or someone else is losing a limb is always a bad sign. This dream can suggest that it feels like you are missing part of yourself. This dream may be trying to tell you that there is a void in your life that you need to fill. Looking up what body part is missing may give you clues about what is missing in your life.
This dream can also suggest that you are about to make a large change in your life, and it is bound to be painful (emotionally or physically) for a short time, but later the change will benefit you in ways you likely can’t even imagine now.
Disobey
To dream that you are disobeying someone in a dream can suggest that you are going against your own moral values in your waking life. You are acting like a person who you do not want to become. This dream can sign that you need to use logic and do what is right for yourself, not just what feels good at the moment.

Dispute
See Argument* for dream symbolism
Dissect
To dissect something in a dream can suggest that you feel the need to look further into a situation or idea. Sometimes this natural urge of curiosity can be a great tool that can help you to become a more intelligent and learned person. However, if you go sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong or digging into gossip instead of fact, then you are likely to find yourself becoming hurt (emotionally or physically) in the process of finding new information. In this way, digging into a subject can be as painful as dissection.
Dissolve
To see something dissolve in your dream can suggest that you need to let something from your waking life go. It is time to let a situation or problem dissolve. You are likely getting upset over a minor thing or a problem that has the power to clear itself up.
Looking up what is dissolving in your dream can also provide you with additional dream symbolism.
Distance (Far Away)
To dream that you are far away from your home can predict that you will find yourself in a similar situation in your waking life. You are likely to go on a trip that takes you far away from your home. While this may seem inconvenient at the moment, it is sure to help you advance in your life in general and in your social circle.
To dream that your friends, or other people who you know, are far off in the distance can suggest that you are “distancing” yourself from these people in your waking life. You need to find a way to reconnect with these people if you want to keep your friendship bond with them strong.
Distress
To dream that you are in distress can represent the actual distress that you feel in your waking life. This dream can imply that you worry too much in your waking life and need to find something that can help you relax. Trying to get help from others is likely to be good for this kind of situation.
Ditch
To dream of a ditch can be a representation of the feeling of needing to “ditch” someone or something who or that you do not like. This could signify that it is time to end a bad relationship or quit a bad job. However, if the mood of this dream is not hopeful, then this could be a sign that you should stick with what you want to ditch, at least for a while longer.
To dream of falling into a ditch is a bad sign. This dream suggests that you will fall into a string of bad luck. It is best to watch out for people who may want to do you harm or embarrass you. The greatest thing at risk for you right now is your social standing.
To dream that you jump over or avoid falling into a ditch is a good sign. This dream can suggest that you are making leaps and bounds to improve yourself and your social standing. Good luck lies shortly.
