Door
To open a door and go through it, if the mood is positive in the dream, this dream suggests that opportunities are waiting ahead of you, but that you may need to gain some more skills before you can accept it. Work on becoming a more educated person, and you are sure to find success.
To open a door and go through it, if the mood is negative in the dream, can suggest that there is something or someone that you are trying to avoid or escape from. This is not a good sign, but it is also not a prediction that something bad is bound to happen.
To see someone else go through a door can sign that you need to work harder at your career if you want to advance in it at all. Practicing your hobbies more will also raise the chance of it becoming your career.
To see that a door you have recently touched has fallen and hurt someone suggests that you have given some bad advice recently or that you are bound to shortly. If you have no given advice yet, try not to. It is not likely to turn out the way that you expect it to.
Since a door is an opening, it can also be representative of a vagina.
Door Bell
Hearing a doorbell in your dream is not a good sign. This dream can predict that you will be called upon for something important at short notice. This will likely be for work that you do not want to do or because of the illness or injury of someone who you care about.
Door Mat
Seeing a doormat in your dream can imply that you feel like others are stepping on you. You may feel like you don’t have much choice in what you do in your life. This dream could suggest that you need to find a healthier way to express yourself if you want to become a happier person.
Doppelganger
Seeing a doppelganger of yourself in your dream can reflect how you act in your fairly like. This could be a way of your mind pointing out your negative traits to know which ones need fixing/changing.
To be fighting with your doppelganger can suggest that you are having an internal struggle with yourself. You may need to make an important decision but not know which side to pick. Going with whatever side won in your dream may be a decent idea.
Dorm
To dream of being in a dorm can suggest that you highly value learning and that getting more knowledge would be important. Of course, since the dorm isn’t an actual classroom, this could suggest that you need your learning to be fun to understand. Try watching documentaries or do creative things to learn.
Dough
Seeing dough in your dream represents the potential for lying in yourself or within other aspects of your life. This could suggest that you can make something out of your life, so you might as well start trying!
Dove
The dove is a paradoxical dream symbol, especially when it is seen from a religious standpoint. In Jewish-Christian religions, the dove is usually seen as a symbol of peace, love, and God’s grace. However, like the rainbow, it can be seen as a reminder of the great flood that these religions believe once covered the earth. For this reason, the dove can be seen as both a joyous and mournful sign.
Because of the dove’s dual meaning, the dream mood is the deciding factor for what this term means. If you are happy in the dream, then the dove can sign that your life will be harmonious shortly. However, if you are upset in the dream, then this can predict that you will become disappointed shortly.
See Bird* for further dream symbolism.
Down
Doing down is hardly a good dream sign. Doing down, looking down, or anything else dealing with this direction suggests disappointment or depression. Of course, this can be seen as an optimistic sign–once you hit rock bottom, there’s no place to go but up.
To see the word “down” in a dream can be a pun ongoing “down” on someone–having oral sex.
See Directions* for further dream symbolism.
Down Syndrome
To see someone with down syndrome can suggest that you either have low self-confidence and do not see yourself with all of the potentials you have or that you are not seeing someone else’s full worth.
Downtown
Dreaming that you are going downtown can represent your material needs and desires. This could imply that you are too materialistic in your waking life, but this can be determined more by the other aspects of your dream than just by downtown as its own term.
Dowry
To dream of receiving a dowry is a good sign. This suggests that your future spouse will be able to provide for you. You are likely to feel comfortable in this future relationship.
If you do not get a dowry, then this dream suggests the opposite. Disappointment and financial strain lie in your future relationships and your future waking life in general.
Draft (War)
To dream that you are drafted into a war can suggest that you feel like you are not in charge of large decisions in your waking life. This is a strong feeling, and you should try to take control of your life as soon as possible before something as serious as getting drafted happens to you.
In simple symbolism, this dream can represent your feelings about the draft.
Drag
To drag something in your dream can suggest that you face a burden in your waking life–the larger the thing you are dragging, the bigger the burden. This could be a sign that you need to let something or someone go to relieve yourself of stress. What you are dragging can provide further dream symbolism as to what you need to get rid of.

Dragon
Dreaming of a dragon, when it comes to symbolism, can mean extremely different things depending on the culture that you are coming from or what the dragon looks like. To see a dragon that looks like a dinosaur with wings and sharp teeth, look under the Western Dragon category. If you see a dragon that looks more like a snake with feet, look under the Eastern Dragon category.
Western Dragon
To see a western dragon in your dream is usually a sign of evil or bad luck. These dragons are thought to be horrible creatures overcome with violent impulses and a thirst for blood and gold. Seeing this dragon is almost always a sign of bad luck or that your greed is getting the better of you.
The western dragon can also represent a person’s primal unconscious. Everyone has a violent thought every once in a while, even though there’s no good reason to be violent in today’s world. This dream could suggest that you are suppressing violent or sexually diverse ideas because they feel wrong to you. Try to find a good way to get out these impulses, like being with someone who also likes different sex things or investing in a punching bag or therapy if you have anger issues.
This dream could also warn you that you need to learn how to control yourself if you do not want others to take advantage of your flaws. It is essential to control your urges in the workplace. Remember to keep your cool in the future.
Eastern Dragon
Eastern dragons are often seen as a sign of good luck, the opposite of the western dragon. These dragons can represent intelligence, wealth, and good luck. To see one of these dragons in your dream is likely a prediction of good luck involving one of the three traits listed above.
Dragonfly
Seeing a dragonfly in a dream is a good sign. Dragonflies represent positive change. Something is in the motions of being changed already, or you will make an action that will cause a change. This change will likely require you to be very active, so make sure that you are prepared for this.
See Bug* for further symbolism.
Drain
To dream of a drain of any kind can suggest that you effectively channel your emotions (unless the drain is clogged, which can imply the opposite). Keeping up with what you are doing is sure to help your communication skills and general mental health in the future.
Drama (Movie/Play)
To see a drama can change meanings depending on the mood you are in. If you enjoy the drama, then this suggests that you will have a great time with your friends shortly. Now is a good time to get back together with old friends to spend some time together. If you are bored or hate the drama, this dream suggests getting bored with a friend or doing the same old thing with one. Try to make new friends or try something new with an old friend.
However, if you are writing the drama, then this is a bad sign. This dream is a sign that you are putting your energy into things that are not profitable. If you continue down this path, then you are sure to become stressed mentally and financially.
Drawing
To dream that you are drawing something can suggest that you need to find some outlet for your creativity if you want to be a happier person. Please take some time to be creative in your day, and you are sure to be better for it.
This dream could be making a pun on the word “draw.” This can suggest that if you are arguing with someone, it’s time to call it even.
Dress
Wearing or seeing a dress in your dream can represent the feminine aspect of your personality. If you are a woman, this can suggest that you are either expressing your femininity at a level that works for you or not being afraid to express it more. If you are a man, this could suggest that you feel overly feminine or have feelings for the same sex.
The color of the dress can also provide you with further symbolism.
See Clothes* for further dream symbolism.

Seeing a drill in your dream is a good sign. This can suggest that you should start a new project, go somewhere new, or generally experience something different than what you have already.
Drinking
To dream of drinking, in general, can imply that you are taking in new knowledge or social interactions or that you want to do those things. If you are drinking because you are thirsty in your dream, then this can be a sign that you need to get out and socialize.
To dream of drinking water can suggest that you listen to your emotions and let your sense of logic guide you throughout your life. If you keep doing this, you are sure to find happiness, but it may take some time to find it.
To drink something that tastes good is a suggestion that you are taking in the pleasurable things in life. While this can be good for a short time, it is not conducive to productivity. Enjoy yourself now, but make sure that you moderate yourself so that things do not get out of control.
Looking up to what you are drinking can also provide you with additional dream symbolism. See Alcohol* for further dream symbolism if it applies.
Driving
See Car* for dream symbolism.
Drone
To dream that you see a drone is a sign that you have been living your life without thinking, almost automatically making choices. This dream is a sign that you need to start thinking carefully about what you do to bring yourself into a successful life actively.
To dream that you control the drone can suggest that you are already working towards completing your life goals. This is a good sign.
Drop
To dream that you drop something can be a direct sign that you need to drop something in your waking life. You are too busy or are stressed out because of all of the responsibilities that you have. You may need to get rid of a task that you have or drop an unhealthy relationship to be happier.
Drown
To dream that you are drowning is never a good sign. This dream can be a sign that you are overwhelmed with your emotions in your waking life. There is some part of your emotional life that is causing you stress or anxiety. It is best to resolve these problems as quickly as possible.
Drowning in a dream can also predict that you are about to lose something.
Seeing someone else drowning can suggest that you are worried about this person or someone you may represent. This could imply that you are worried about their health or their general well-being.

See Water* for further dream symbolism.
Drug
Seeing or using a drug in your dream varies in meaning from person to person. The meaning of the drug in your dream, whether it is a medication or an illegal drug, depends on how you feel about the drug. For example, if you are using painkillers, then this could suggest that you are under stress. If you are smoking marijuana, this could imply that you have been feeling laid-back and care-free lately.
Looking up the drug in your dream can provide you with more specific dream symbolism.
Drum
Using a drum in your dream can be the representation of the rhythm in your life. This could suggest that you have a solid relationship with time. You like to stay organized or on a general schedule. If the dream mood is happy, then this could suggest that you have found a routine that you should stick to. If you are unhappy in the dream, then this could be a sign that it’s time to switch things up.
If the drumbeat is muffled, this could signify that a relationship, or someone with whom you have a relationship, is in trouble or has trouble communicating with you. Working on your communication problems can ease this struggle.
All musical dreams can also relate to sexual urges. The louder or more pronounced than the drumbeat is, the more powerful your sexual urges are likely to be. If you like music, then this could signify that it is time to act on these urges. If not, then you might want to hold off on it for a while.
See Instrument or Music* for further dream symbolism.
Drunk
Being drunk in your dream can imply that you are losing a part of yourself or losing control of your life. You may be taking in more pleasure than you can work off. All playing without work tends to lead people down a straying path. This dream carries the simple message, “get your act together!” Your mind is trying to help you to recognize that it’s time to change your ways. It is not up to you to make those changes.
Looking up the type of alcohol you were drunk on can also provide you with further dream symbolism.
See Alcohol* for further dream symbolism.
Duck
To see ducks flying or swimming in a pond is a good sign. This dream can suggest that you will advance in business and your social life. Your near future is likely to be very enjoyable. Now is a good time to spend time with your family.
To hunt ducks or see one be killed is a bad sign. This suggests that others are trying to upset your happiness. This dream could also imply that you have fake friends whose real motive is to ruin your reputation rather than have a good time with you.
See Bird* for further dream symbolism.
Duel
To dream that you are dueling with someone can suggest that you face either an internal or external conflict in your waking life. You have a problem either with yourself or with someone else you need to solve before it takes over your life. Solving this problem as quickly as possible is important.
Duet
To sing or play a duet with someone is a wonderful sign! This dream can suggest that you will do well in your social life shortly. This is a great time for getting along with people. Hanging out with friends, schmoozing to your boss, trying to get a new romantic partner, or spending time with your family are all great things to do right now.
To hear a duet has slightly different symbolism. This dream predicts that something will upset you shortly, but that it will be quickly resolved, and then you will be able to spend a nice time with your friends and family members.
See Music* for further dream symbolism.
Dummy
To dream of a dummy can suggest that you miss out on something in one of your relationships.

This is up to you to decipher.
Dumpster
To dream of a dumpster can be a good or bad sign, depending on the dream’s mood. If the mood is good, then this can suggest that you are throwing away old bad habits or that you should.

Dusk

Dust
Dust, for being as simple as it is, has many different meanings to it. Dust can represent the things that you have given up or ignored. It can also represent failure, past mistakes, and ruined relationships. This is not a good sign, more like a poor reminder of what you have lost.
Dwarf
Seeing or being a dwarf in your dream can suggest that you feel like some part of yourself is underdeveloped. This could be a physical trait that is not up to par with the rest of your body, or this could relate to a personality trait that you have but do not like or understand why you have. This could be a simple sign of having low-self confidence.
If you like to look on the lighter side of life, then you could see this dream as an encouragement. Even though some trait or ability may be suppressed, this does not mean that it is lost forever. Work on perfecting a skill or training yourself to have better personality traits to combat this feeling of being inadequate.
Dye
The dye is a vital dream sign because the color is essential in many dream interpretations. Looking up the color of the object/hair before and after it was dyed can represent a change that has been made in your life.
Looking up the object or Hair* that was being dyed can provide you with additional dream symbolism.
Dynamite
Dynamite is a symbol of danger in dreams. This could imply that something dangerous has recently happened or that something dangerous will happen. This danger is likely to cause an explosive change in your life.
