~ Dream Dictionary ~

Some of the most fun you can have in dream work is exploring the meanings of symbols, images and associations that arise (sometimes very insistently!) in your dreams. Depending on your life experiences, spirituality and pop culture, dream symbols can mean different things to different people.

You should get yourself a book that has those lettered tabs along the side. Each time you have a symbol in a dream and you look it up, write down the meaning and your interpretation in your own dream dictionary.
When examining a symbol ask yourself:

What does this mean to me?
How do I feel about this thing?
How did I feel in my dream?
Have I had positive or negative experiences with this symbol or none at all?
Has this thing appeared more than once in my dreams?
What is happening around the symbol?
Also, watch out for synchronicity in waking life - if your dream symbols come out of nowhere, they may be giving you clues :)
There are lots of dream dictionaries around… you should use them as guides to understanding your own dreams. Try reading a dream dictionary for ideas on the meanings of different dream symbols… I like using an online dream dictionary – there are many interesting dream symbols discussed here :) They are also available in book stores. 
Here are some interesting meanings found on http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary 
 
To dream that you are naked denotes fear of being found out and exposed over your activities. You feel that you are being misjudged.
 
To dream that you suddenly discover your nudity and are trying to cover up signifies your vulnerability to a situation. 
 
To see a naked person in your dream and you are disgusted by it represents some anxiety about discovering the naked truth about that person or situation. It may also foretell of an illicit love affair, a loss of prestige or some scandalous activity. On the other hand, if you are accepting of someone else's nudity, then it implies that you can see right through them and their intentions. Or perhaps, you are completely accepting them for who they are. If you do not care about someone else's nudity, then it suggests that you need to learn not to be afraid of rejection.
 
To dream that everyone is naked except for you implies that there is something you are hiding from others. It may also mean that you are nervous about something.
 
Alternatively, the dream indicates that you are being overly critical of others. Instead of being accepting, you tend to find flaws in others.

To see a house in your dream represents your own soul and self. Specific rooms in the house indicate a specific aspect of your psyche. In general, the attic represents your intellect, the basement represents the subconscious, etc. If the house is empty, then it indicates feelings of insecurity. If the house is shifting, then it suggests that you are going through some personal changes and changing your belief system. To dream that a house has no walls represents a lack of privacy. You feel that everyone is looking over your shoulder or up in your business.
 
To see an abandoned house in your dream implies that you have left behind your past. You are ready to move forward toward the future. 
 
To dream that you are cleaning your house signifies your need to clear out your thoughts and get rid of old ways. You are seeking self-improvement.
If you live with others in your waking life, but dream that you are living alone suggests that you need to take new steps toward independence. You need to accept responsibilities and be more self-reliant.
 
To see an old, run-down house in your dream represents your old beliefs, attitudes and how you used to think or feel. A situation in your current life may be bringing about those same old attitudes and feelings. Alternatively, the old house may symbolize your need to update you mode of thinking. If you see messy and/or dilapidated houses in your dream, then it implies that an aspect of your own life is in chaos. You may be suffering from some emotional or psychological clutter. You need to release these feelings in order to regain control. To dream that your house is damaged indicates your waking concerns about the condition of your house.

To dream that your house is broken into suggests that you are feeling violated. It may refer to a particular relationship or current situation in your life. Alternatively, it indicates that some subconscious material is attempting to make itself known. There are some aspects of yourself that you have denied.

Alternatively, the dream may be a reflection of your housing situation. Perhaps you are "underwater" in your mortgage.
 
To dream that you have rotten or decaying teeth implies that you may have said something that you shouldn't have. You may have uttered some false or foul words and

those words are coming back to haunt you.

To dream that you are brushing your teeth refers to your level of confidence, your struggles and your aggressiveness. You need to look out for yourself and your own interest. Perhaps, you feel that your position is shaky. 
 
To dream that you your teeth has fallen out and you try to refit them back into the mouth signifies a lack of self-confidence and embarrassment. You are afraid that others will know of your short-comings. If you acted calmly in your dream, then it may point to how can make the best out of any situation. You are able to rise above unfavourable circumstances.
