Dreaming of symbols means your life is guided by the wisdom of the past. Each symbol has attained and proven to carry the same spiritual attributes through thousands of years as its owners swear by its properties. Holding the symbols closes to your heart will offer you protection against the evils each symbol is created to ward off.
Symbols in a dream represent things that you need to work through in your life. You can also use dream symbols as guidance for your current life.
In general, symbols represent our hidden desires and beliefs. For example, if one sees an owl symbol in their dream, it could represent wisdom or intelligence. If one sees a dog symbol in their dream, this could represent loyalty or faithfulness.
A person dreaming of a snake symbol may be telling themselves that they need to be careful and evaluate the situation more before making decisions.
