As promised, this is part 2 in a series of dream symbols I will be adding to the steemit blogs. As a disclaimer, and for those who are interested, I have learned dream analysis through the life-changing, online courses offered by Michael Sheridan and will be sharing universal symbols from his method of dream interpretation. Please feel free to share your dreams in the comments section if you've seen these symbols in your own dreams.

Baby

"Dreams of a baby or babies can be triggered when you are trying to have one. The dream can also be about influences you picked up as a baby.

To dream of a baby or babies, particularly when given one or asked to mind one, means there is something in your life for which you have responsibility. Just as a baby needs nurturing and care, you are obliged to do what it takes to look after or develop whatever it is. Once the attention is given the outcome is always positive.

To dream of you or someone else giving birth means a new aspect of yourself is about to be born. As above, it is your responsibility to develop this side of yourself. This is always a positive dream, as to allow a new aspect of yourself to flourish you must let go of whatever kept it suppressed. This dream usually comes after doing some developmental work on yourself.

To dream of someone nursing a baby or doing so yourself, asks you to provide the correct nurturing environment to develop a new aspect of yourself.

A baby with a special ability means that you have a sixth sense in line with what the baby is portraying in the dream. For example, if a newborn baby can talk it means you have a special communication ability – you are intuitive / psychic and you are being encouraged to do something to develop and use it.

A stillborn baby means that you are not doing what is needed to nurture a new and positive aspect of yourself. Don’t be disheartened by this dream but take it as a strong message that you need to make more of an effort." - Michael Sheridan

Death

"Death symbolizes you need to eliminate negative influence from past. An aspect of you has to die before another aspect can find expression. For example, to dream of the death of your father means you need to eliminate negative influences resulting from your relationship with him.

To dream of your partner dying is indicative of being in a relationship you do not want to lose. While it seems dramatic, the dream is trying to get you to face your fear of losing your partner in order to get over it. This is a common dream when you find yourself in a relationship that feels like true love, particularly when it follows a bad relationship. The most common theme is your partner dying in a car crash." - Michael Sheridan

Teeth

"Teeth in dreams indicate your reproductive system or parenting. Animals carry their young around with their teeth. To lose their teeth would mean they cannot raise their young. We often forget that we too are animals in the animal kingdom.

Teeth can also indicate that you need to be more assertive or less assertive. If a dentist is repairing your teeth, it means that you need to be more assertive and stand up for yourself. To dream of an animal with a lot of teeth, such as a crocodile, means the same thing. This type of dream can be triggered through being in a situation where you feel you cannot stand up for yourself or have lost your grip. For example, a relationship with an over powering partner or a work situation where you feel you would get fired if you speak up. The dream is healing with the intention of giving you renewed vigor to get a grip on the situation.

If a dentist is filing down your teeth it means you need to be less aggressive or assertive when it comes to the subject matter of the dream. Take a step back and stop sinking your teeth in.

Loosing teeth indicates losing the ability to have or raise children, because of a physical condition or through the onset of menopause.

Dreams of loosing teeth can also be triggered due to a number of non physical conditions such as; 1) If your child is leaving home to go to college or to live on their own and you are concerned for their ability to cope. 2) If you are losing a grip on a situation or life in general. This can be to do with your children but does not have to be. For example, this dream can be triggered if your child is on drugs or hanging out with the wrong crowd, and all your attempts at helping them to get their life back on track have failed. 3) If you feel completely helpless in a situation and you can’t do anything to get out of it. 4) Separation or divorce is causing you to lose access, even partially, to your children.

A rotten tooth in a dream is a threat of cancer of the uterus."- Michael Sheridan
