Obesity
As usual, the interpretation of this dream
depends on you. You may be concerned about your looks and fear
that you are becoming fat. Be realistic in regard to this area of
your life. If you are very thin and can not stop worrying about
your weight, you should see a doctor. Psychologically speaking,
obesity usually is a sign that the individual has issues with
self-esteem and personal power. In dreams about obesity fat
emotionally insulates us from others and isolates us physically.
Ocean
It traditionally represents our great
unconscious, memories, emotions, and individual soul and
collective experiences. Look at all of the details in this dream.
Is the water clear or murky? Is it calm or turbulent? Are you
catching fish, or are you stranded and afraid? Look, listen, and
try to comprehend the messages in this dream. No one is in a
better position to give meaning to your dreams than you can.

Octopus
You may say, “Who dreams of an
octopus?” But people do, and a friend of mine did so just
the other night. If the dream make you happy, it implies that you
may be involved in many different activities or adventures. If
there is a negative emotional reaction to the dream, it suggests
that unhealthy attachments and entanglements are present in daily
life. See also: Animals
Oil
The content of the dream will tell you if
its message is about wealth, religion, spirituality, or sex.
Traditionally, oil is used as a part of many religious
sacraments. It represents wealth for people who own it, and it
also may have sexual connotations. What does it mean for you?
Old
Man/Old Woman
Carl Jung said that the wise old man is the
“archetype of the spirit” and the “speaking
fountainhead of the soul.” Dreaming
about him may attempt to bring the dreamer into awareness of the
larger meaning of ones life. Old people in dreams represent
wisdom and maturity. They may appear in our dreams at times of
confusion and lack of direction, or when we need consultation and
help in decision-making. See also: Aging
Orange
(color)
The color orange corresponds to the second chakra and, at times,
may be associated with our reproductive system. The second chakra
is said to be responsible for our reproductive health and has
something to do with our sexual expression. Many people have
requested that this color be added into the dream dictionary,
However, it is very difficult to make any correlation between its
symbolism and a particular area of life. Consider your sexual and
reproductive health and then make other associations in order to
obtain a personal interpretation of the color orange.
Oven
The most obvious symbolism is that of a
womb. You may be having some fears or anticipation in regard to
having children. A warm oven is said to have
“fruitful,” or positive, connotations while a cold oven
the opposite. Of course, an oven may simply represent
housekeeping and cooking. See also: Kitchen
Owl
It is another symbol for the unconscious. It
usually represents wisdom and virtue, and your unconscious may be
giving you important massages, so pay attention to the details in
the dream. In the American Indian tradition, the owl is
considered to be the eagle of the night. Dreaming about owls is a
powerful dream, which may indicate that changes are on the way.
Superstition based dream interpretations suggest that dreaming
about an owl is a negative omen, which indicates a reversal in
good fortune. An owl in the house predicts family arguments and
chasing it away might cause things to work out for the best.
Oyster
An oyster in your dream may have sexual
connotations. It usually represents the female sex organ or, if
eaten by a man, may represent his ability or desire to perform
well sexually. Oysters are also considered symbols of humility
and wisdom. Their meaning is associated with that of pearls. The
most negative interpretation is that the oyster represents a well
guarded individual; a person who has shut himself off from
others. Attempt to connect some of these ideas to your emotional
life and overall experiences and keep in mind the setting.
