Dream Symbol: throw

throw

Throwing an object (such as a ball) to someone can represent an invitation to dialog, play, or otherwise participate with the thrower. It can also represent giving, as in giving power to that person or giving them a turn, or handing something off (as in "now the ball is in your court").

Throwing something at someone with intent to hurt them can represent feeling a loss of control, anger, frustration, jealousy, or a desire for that person to go away, or other emotion.

Throwing an object with intent to scare a person represents an attempt to gain power over them or intimidate them into doing something you want, or not doing something you don't want.

Tips to Understand Dream Meaning

Dream symbol meanings are different for each person. It's IMPORTANT to consider:

  • Personal meaning - What the dream symbol means to you, what it reminds you of, how it makes you feel.
  • Context - How the dream symbol appears in the dream. For example, in a dream about a bee - what was the bee doing, how and where it was doing it, and how did you feel about it?
  • Look beyond the obvious - A dream is often about something other than its obvious meaning. Physical events in the dream commonly represent mental or emotional matters.
