MARRIAGE:

Marriage dreams for the young are numerous. They are naturally significant of a human desire for mating, but do not necessarily foretell that a marriage will be contacted. Traditional interpretations vary. Some are as follows:

To dream of your own marriage, if you are not actually married, means that you will hear something that displeases you. To see a marriage, happiness for the dreamer. If everybody is mournful at the wedding, sadness awaits the dreamer.

For a married person, a dream of another marriage signifies distrust or deep-seated jealousy toward the present mate. A dream of bigamy indicates uncontrollable emotions or suspicion of some other person related to the dreamer.

MASK:

The mask is a symbol of concealment involving deception. This applies to the dreamer wearing a mask in order to withhold a past action from somebody very important to the dreamer. It can pertain to love, falsehood, theft, anything incriminating.

If somebody else is wearing the mask, the dreamer becomes the victim of the deception or becomes suspicious of the wearer of the mask. To see many people with masks indicates envious friends or associates.

MEALS: See Eating.

MICE:

A dream of mice warns of insincerity and deception of friends.

MORTUARY:

To dream of a funeral service in a mortuary, or any other edifice, portends unhappiness followed by rejoicing. If the service is for a stranger, anxiety over a perplexing difficulty. If it is a member of the family, it denotes good health in spite of worries, which may have caused the dream.

If the dreamer is happy at the funeral of the relative, any differences that exist between the person represented by the corpse and the dreamer will be rectified.

If the dreamer is mournful over the funeral of the relative, it is a wish cycle from the waking state expressing a desire to be rid of the relative.

MOTHER:

Dreams about mother are very common. Starting with childhood there is the dream of protection, love, and our very sustenance. These are the normal, happy dreams of contentment.

One of the earliest interpretations of mother dreams where she is at home in a joyful mood, signifies pleasure and just rewards for the dreamer. To dream of talking with her indicates anxiety. To hear her calling you, sorrow because of her absence, or your guilty conscience.

To see her in an accident or dead is sometimes a wishful dream; she will not interfere. This last type of dream must be studied carefully because there would be symbols and surroundings that would round out the interpretation.

MOTHER-IN-LAW:

The mother-in-law dreams can have more or less the same meanings as the mother dreams, except when quarrels become too involved in the dream, the reality would be the “wished for” reconciliation that lies beneath the dream. An old interpretation of a wife arguing with her mother-in-law indicates that the wife is annoyed with many other people too.

MOUNTAIN:

Mountain dreams are a desire to achieve something, an aspiration. If you climb the mountain, reaching the very top, your wish will be gratified. If you encounter many hazards or carry a burden, you are suffering from countless frustrations. Meeting people on the way may help or hinder depending upon the circumstances in the dream.

Snow, rain, cold, or heat all play a part in the deterrence of the goal of the dream sequence, which, in turn, are indicative of the active, daily life of the dreamer. All this is a warning to try other channels of occupation and recreation to achieve success and contentment.

MOVIES: See Theater.

MURDER:

To dream that you murder someone indicates that you do not want interference from that person, not that you really want to kill. If you see someone murdered in your dream, you may be very confused or upset over misdemeanors of other people. A dream that you are murdered is a desire to be released from an objectionable hardship.

MUSIC:

To hear music that you like, in your dreams augers prosperity. Music that disturbs the dreamer indicates domestic or emotional uncertainty.
