Most searched dreams starting with P
PoopBodyA dream about poop is traditionally read as money: in folk dream books excrement means unexpected profit, and the more of it the better. Psychology, following Freud, reads it as what one produces, holds back or is ashamed of, and research treats it as a bodily-sensation dream that often follows a real need in sleep.Plane crashTravel and transportA dream about a plane crash is traditionally read as a high plan falling to earth: an ambition, a journey or a hope that was flying too high. Psychology reads the aircraft as a goal beyond the dreamer’s control and the crash as the fear of a fall from that height, and research finds crash dreams rise with news of real crashes and with fear of flying.PuppyAnimalsA dream about puppies is traditionally read as new friendship, a young member of the household or a small responsibility that brings joy. Psychology reads the puppy as something young and dependent in the dreamer’s life, a project, a relationship or a part of themselves that needs care, and research finds dogs among the most common animals in dreams.PeeingBodyA dream about peeing is traditionally read as release: letting go of a pressure, a worry or an unwanted feeling. Sleep research adds the plainest explanation of all: a full bladder often writes itself into the last dream before waking.PillowMoney and objectsA dream about a pillow is traditionally read as comfort, rest and a secure home. Psychology treats the pillow as the place where thoughts are laid down at night, and research notes that the sleeping body’s own sensations, including the pillow under your head, can enter the dream.

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.
