Night dreams are considered to be a reflection of the mental and physical state of a person, therefore, when they see something frightening in a dream, people experience anxiety in reality, believing that soon they will have he alth problems, and possibly adverse life circumstances. Is it so? Let's try to figure it out on the example of what it means to see skulls in a dream, and turn to the opinion of the most authoritative experts in this foggy area.

Voices from time immemorial

We will start our review with the Mayan Dream Interpretation, the authorship of which, judging by the title, is attributed to the ancient inhabitants of the American continent, who inhabited its central part more than 3 thousand years ago. Sharing with us a we alth of observational experience (their civilization lasted more than 22 centuries, so many dreams were revised), they declared with all responsibility that if a person had a chance to see skulls in a dream in winter, then in the near future fate would be favorable to him - reasons for no worries.

Worse if such a vision visited in the summer or in the off-season, but even in this case, the ancient sages found a radicala means to prevent fate from unbelting and direct it in the right direction. It turns out that for this it is enough to find a skull (not necessarily a human one - say, a rat one is quite suitable) and, having cooked it for several hours over low heat, return it to its place, and pour the walls of your dwelling with the broth. After that, all troubles will recede at once, and life will flow like a full-flowing river. The compilers of the dream book strongly recommend not to miss such an opportunity.

How to protect yourself from thieves?

In addition, those who had to see skulls in a dream in the summer are highly recommended to secure their homes, since their image can be regarded as a harbinger of an impending robbery. In these cases, the ancient Americans did not install iron doors and, quite understandably, did not spend money on expensive alarms.

They used a simple and proven means: they took a skull (preferably similar to the one that they saw in a dream) and, putting a stone in it, buried it at the entrance to their house. If in the conditions of modern urban high-rise buildings this is not always feasible, then it may well suit the owners of garden plots. We add in passing that all the above "valuable advice" is not drawn from the monuments of ancient writing, but from the pages of modern publications that are popular with readers in the 21st century.

What is Cleopatra's Dream Book about?

Now let's mentally move to the possession of a contemporary of the ancient Mayan people - the Egyptian queen Cleopatra (69-30 BC), who also sometimes saw skulls in a dream- gold and the most ordinary human ones. She left to posterity a detailed interpretation of this frightening image. As is clear from the dream book attributed to her, most of the plots in which they appear are harbingers of various kinds of ailments, both bodily and mental. The queen argued that people who are promiscuous in their sexual relations are in particular danger. It is difficult to argue with her, since the same can be read in any popular brochure of known content.

Further, the queen, or the one who appropriated her name, writes that in night visions, skulls are often visited by people who, due to certain mental disorders, experience problems of an intimate nature. This may be a fear of physical intimacy or a tendency to all sorts of perversions. As for women who have been victims of rape or gross harassment, for them this is a manifestation of fear of losing a loved one. If a man sees in a dream the skull of a bear or some other wild animal, then this betrays his fear of failing in a love bed or losing potency altogether.

Opinion of an overseas interpreter

At the beginning of the 20th century, the outstanding American psychologist Gustav Miller wrote about what it means to dream of skulls. Based on a survey conducted among people of different age categories, he compiled a dream book that has not lost its popularity to date. Among other things, he considers a number of non-standard images in it, such as, for example, a skull grinning in the face of a dreamer. It's a "cute sight" according tothe author, is for him a harbinger of major family scandals and quarrels.

The respected master also writes about what the skull of a friend means in a dream - not dead, but alive at that time and full of strength. In his opinion, this is a very bad sign, portending a quarrel, the reason for which is that in reality the dreamer has bypassed him in some way. Perhaps they were competitors in business or applicants for an open vacancy, or perhaps both sought the favor of the same person. In any case, this person has a reason for anger, and he will not restrain himself. We add that if you dreamed of your own skull, then the dreamer will have reasons for remorse.

Statements of an Austrian specialist

The famous Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud made a very lengthy comment about his own skull seen in a dream. Without changing his tradition of seeing in everything a manifestation of hidden sexuality or its violent suppression, he considered this plot from this aspect. In his interpretation, the image of his own skull testifies to the dreamer's tendency to complicate his life in everything by searching for a deeper meaning, which fully applies to issues of intimate life. Overly idealizing intimate relationships and striving to endow them with elevated feelings, he expects the same from a woman, while it would be wiser to just relax and enjoy. The same inclination is found in the fair sex.

If such a vision does not portend anyserious problems, but is only evidence of certain features of the dreamer, then we suck another thing - in a dream to find a skull in someone else's bed. Such a plot, Freud wrote, may indicate future he alth problems, the cause of which lies in his propensity for casual sexual intercourse (recall the warnings of Queen Cleopatra). Perhaps the time has come to pay for past sins, but it is also possible that the unlucky lover has yet to meet that "incomparable and unique" romance with which will lead him to the venereologist's office.

What does a trepanation of the skull seen in a dream mean?

Since such a vision sometimes becomes the plot of dreams, then it also has the right to its own interpretation. It is helpfully provided to us by the authors of a number of dream books, most of which are inclined to believe that behind it lie changes in personal life, and very favorable ones.

An operation seen in a dream, during which a surgeon penetrates the holy of holies - the human brain, promises the dreamer a quick meeting (no, no, not with dead relatives) with some real person who can give moments of passion and color life with rainbow colors tones. Women who are visited by such a vision can count on attention from men, and they, in turn, will not be deprived of their favor.

Foreshadowing meetings

In general, skulls, the appearance of which causes unpleasant feelings in most people, reminding that “we will all be there”, are often good harbingers in a dream. At the same time, it doesn't matterwho they belong to - people or animals. For example, to see a bull's skull in a dream, according to many authors, means a quick meeting with one of the old friends who are lost in the turbulent whirlpool of life, but have not gone out of memory. It is also possible that fate will give a date with an old friend and revive the old feelings in the soul.

Also, one should not be afraid of a dream in which a skull was seen lying on a table in a strange unfamiliar house. According to such authoritative interpreters as G. Miller, Vanga and Y. Longo, this image portends the dreamer to a quick meeting with an influential and wise person who will become his mentor. A new acquaintance will not only support with practical advice, but also, having wide connections, will be able to provide practical assistance in all areas of life.

Skull as a symbol of wisdom

One should also not be upset by a person who imagined that he was chewing on a skull. A dream with such a plot, although it usually ends with waking up in a cold sweat, upon closer examination is quite innocent. For many peoples, the skull was a symbol of wisdom, therefore this plot is sometimes associated with a certain thought process that in reality absorbs all the mental, and sometimes physical forces of the dreamer. This may be a solution to some long-standing, but not lost its acuteness issue. It is possible that the problem has worsened over time, and now much more effort, time and material costs are required to get out of this situation.

Don't expect good from nightmares

At the same time, in some cases, the image of the skull has traditionallynegative interpretation. As a rule, these dreams are classified as nightmares. For example, the sight of a monster with a bare, grinning skull portends to the dreamer some very bitter and unfortunate fiasco. It is very possible that he will be disgraced so seriously that he will be forced to change not only his job, but also his place of residence.

Another extremely undesirable plot image is a skull dug out of the ground. As is commonly believed, in reality this vision promises a person bad news that will take him by surprise. Things will be especially bad if the find tries to bite the hand - after all, everything can happen in a dream. In this case, in reality, the bad news will not only put the dreamer in a difficult position, but will also have a detrimental effect on the rest of his life.

Trouble with bosses

I would like to end the article on an optimistic note, and for this, an excerpt from the Modern Dream Book is the best fit, in which the author assures that if a skull impaled on a stake is seen, then it will not be the dreamer who will be in trouble, but his boss, whom he hates for some reason. However, other people's troubles, as you know, are a bad reason for joy.
