Most searched dreams starting with E
Ex-partnerLove and relationshipsA dream about an ex is traditionally read as unfinished business or news of that person. Psychology reads the ex as what that relationship gave or took, a quality you miss or a lesson not yet learned, and research finds ex-partner dreams among the most common relationship dreams, especially after a recent break-up.ElephantAnimalsA dream about an elephant is traditionally read as solid wealth, honour and strength that lasts. Psychology reads the elephant as memory, patience and a weight the dreamer carries or is carried by, and research counts large exotic animals among the dream figures supplied mostly by films, zoos and childhood books.EarthquakeWater and weatherA dream about an earthquake is traditionally read as upheaval: Miller ties it to business failure and distress from turmoil. Psychology reads the shaking ground as the loss of what the dreamer stood on, a job, a home, a certainty; research counts disasters among the typical dreams that rise after real ones.ElevatorHome and placesA dream about an elevator is traditionally read by its direction: rising means a swift climb in position, falling means a setback. Psychology reads the elevator as change that happens to the dreamer rather than by them, and research links the falling elevator to the body's sensations in sleep.End of the worldActionsA dream about the end of the world is traditionally read as a great change rather than a catastrophe: the end of one way of living. Psychology reads it as the dreamer's world, a job, a family, a belief, coming to an end, and research links such dreams to stress, the news and major life transitions.EggsFoodA dream about eggs is traditionally read as wealth, fertility and new beginnings, with broken or rotten eggs turning the reading to loss. Psychology reads the egg as potential not yet hatched, and research places eggs among the everyday foods that enter dreams from the kitchen.

How this page is made
Each symbol page sets three readings side by side and names where each comes from. A symbol is published only when its page has a full description with sources. Search volumes decide which symbols are written first.
