Dream Symbol: pillow

pillow

  • Support for you or your ideas, desires, comfort, preferences, or sense of self
  • Rest or a rest period
  • Sleep, being asleep, or being unaware
  • Being unproductive or ineffective (as in "sleeping on the job")

Dreaming that your pillow is taken away or you have no pillow can mean you're feeling a lack of support, or possibly a lack of respect, from others or from yourself in your life somehow.

Having to sleep on an uncomfortable pillow can mean:

  • You might benefit from paying more attention to your self-support and attention to yourself and your needs right now, or more attention to gaining or accepting support from others
  • You're feeling uneasy or something is bothering you, as in "keeping you up at night"

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.
