Scare

Being scared in your dream can represent other negative emotions, which don’t necessarily need to be feelings of fear, in your waking life. You may feel like you are not good enough to do something, like you cannot control your emotions, or like you are unsure of your actions.

Being afraid of something in your dream can also represent feelings of anger in your waking life. Confronting these feelings in your waking life is a great way to get them to go away in your dreams.

Scarlet Fever

While any sickness in a dream can be a literal warning of poor health in life, Scarlet Fever in a dream often symbolizes being at the mercy of an adversary or competitor. For someone to die of the affliction often foretells foul play by a competitor.

Scepter

In a dream, the scepter represents power willfully given to a leader. Consider who is holding the scepter or who is giving it to whom.

If you are holding the scepter, this can signify that you come off as a trustworthy person. Your friends and coworkers can easily respect you. You have the charisma to tell others what to do, but the respect to treat them as your equals.

If someone else is holding the scepter, this can suggest that you are more of a follower than a leader. You likely work better when you are being told what to do, instead of needing to tell others what to do. This is neither a positive nor a negative sign.

School

If the dreamer is returning to school at their present age, it often represents great mental achievement. In contrast, teaching school represents desiring this kind of achievement but having other more pressing worldly concerns in the way. Dreaming about attending school in one’s youth or visiting the school where one once learned are usually bad signs that life struggles will make the dreamer long for simpler days.

Scientist

Dreaming that you are a scientist can suggest that you have the potential to be more creative and educated. However, if you are going to make something, you will still need to use logic to do it. Feel free to use your imagination; make sure that you use logic when you actually try to do something about it.

Scissors

Scissors cut and tear things apart, and so often represent separation and disagreement in a dream. This most often represents arguments you are having with your friends, family members, or romantic partners.

Sharp scissors can suggest that you are working hard on the issue at hand, even if dealing a blow to your emotions. You must stay strong and persevere if you want to overcome this problem quickly.

Dull scissors suggest that your problems are mingling. Because you may have many problems related to each other, they are likely harder to solve than other problems. You will need to work slowly and carefully if you want to solve these problems.

Scold

Being scolded in a dream suggests that you have actually been scolded in the recent past. You have likely done something recently that you should have/would have gotten scolded for in the past. You may feel like you cannot do this thing because of the negative reaction that others have had to it in the past.

Scooter

Seeing a scooter suggests that you are content with your waking life. You are happy with your position at work and in your social life. This is a good sign.

If you are riding on the scooter, then this suggests that you need to add more balance to your life. To do this, you will need to make more decisions on your own. However, you can still do this in a carefree way; this is not a dream worth getting stressed out over.

Score

Seeing a score itself means little; what the scores are mean more. If you lose, then this suggests that you have low self-confidence. If you win, then you have high self-confidence. Looking up the numbers that were on the scoreboard can also provide you with further dream symbolism.

Scorpio

Scorpio people often have the traits of being determined, patient, kind, and flexible. Seeing one of these people in your dream can suggest that you need to take on some of these traits to solve a problem that is going on in your waking life.

Scorpion

Scorpions represent betrayal. If the dreamer kills the scorpion, the dreamer will prevail against some trick. If the dreamer fails to kill the Scorpion or is bitten by the Scorpion, conspirators will get the upper hand.

See Bug* for further dream symbolism.

Scrapbook

To dream of a Scrapbook often means that the dreamer will soon meet an unpleasant company and wish for old times.

Try to remember what the contents of the scrapbook are. This can go a long way to helping you to figure out what your dream means.

See Photographs* for further dream symbolism.

Scratch

Scratching in a dream often symbolizes bitterness or petty disagreements. Consider who is scratching who. If the head is being scratched, it usually symbolizes that the dreamer is being bothered by people attempting to take advantage of them.

Looking up where you were scratched and looking up the term Skin* can also provide you with further dream symbolism.

Scream

Screaming in your dream can suggest that you have pent up negative emotions in your waking life. You are trying to express these emotions in your dream since you may not know how to express these feelings in your waking life.

If you are trying to scream, but no sound comes out, then this can suggest that you are frustrated by your angry feelings. You may feel like others are not paying attention to these feelings, making them even harder to get out.

If someone else is screaming in your dream, then this can suggest that someone in your waking life needs your help with something.

The Sight or sound of a Screech Owl is often an omen of sudden bad news, often of illness or death.

Script

Reading or writing a script in your dream represents the way that you act in your waking life. The main character in this script most often represents the dreamer.

If you do not, this dream could signify that you need to rewrite your personality.

Scroll

Scrolls represent education, potential, and growth. You have the power to become a more educated and better person. All you need to do is take the first step to become a better version of yourself.

Sculptor

Seeing a sculptor in your dream can suggest that you are likely to start doing something that you enjoy, but this thing will be less prestigious than whatever you are currently doing. It will be up to you to decide if you care about your reputation enough to do what you enjoy or to do what others expect you to.

If you are in love with a sculptor, then this predicts good luck in love. You are likely to be with someone who has a high business or social status.

Sculpture

Seeing a sculpture in your dream is a sign that you do not see things clearly in your waking life. You are likely in denial over something.

This dream could alternatively suggest that you are showing yourself off in a negative light. Show people your positive personality traits, and you will be much more likely to make friends and have a better reputation.

Looking up what the sculpture is supposed to be can also provide you with further dream symbolism.

Scum

Seeing scum is a prediction that you will be disappointed by your social life. You are likely to do something that will end up embarrassing yourself.

Scythe

Seeing a scythe in a dream is a sign of bad luck. Bad health or injury is likely to occur soon after a dream with a scythe in it.

If the scythe is old, broken, or rusty, then this can instead suggest that you will have bad luck in your social or business life.
