Dreams – C

Cage:

To dream of a cage indicates the feeling of being restrained and restricted from something you desire. You have no way of getting out and feel helpless.

Calendar:

A calendar on the wall suggests that you are well organized and prepared. If you see yourself writing or making marks on a calendar, it symbolizes that you are marking time until a certain event comes to pass. If someone in your dream gives you a calendar as a gift, you will have much disappointment in the week ahead. If you destroy a calendar, you either feel hopelessly unorganized or you’ve decided to make a brand new start in the direction of your life.

Camera:

To see a camera in your dream means you are trying to live in the past, or that you don’t have a clear picture of a current situation. If you dream about running out of film, you may not have the tools or experience to deal with a current situation on your own. Ask for help.

Car:

To dream that you are driving a car symbolizes your ambition and your ability to navigate from one stage of your life to another. Consider how smooth or rough the car ride is – that suggests how easy or hard your path will be to your goals. Also consider whether you are driving the car or are merely a passenger because that indicates whether you take an active or passive role in your life. If you are a passenger, it can also mean your knowledge will earn you good fortune, especially if the car is expensive.

Castle:

Signifies your hopes and dreams for the future. It is expressing the inner desires that you might not have even realized you had.

Cat:

Cats represent power, freedom and the animal self, especially for females. To dream of being a cat means you will triumph in an upcoming conflict. If you don’t like cats, or you have an unpleasant experience with them in your dream, you are uncomfortable in some way with the more feminine side of your personality. Also see Kitten.

Celebrity:

Dreaming that you are a celebrity means your desires and wishes may be beyond your reach at the present moment. To dream that a friend or lover becomes a celebrity suggests your fear of losing the friendship and loyalty of this person. To see a celebrity in your dream, or even to be dating or making out with a famous person in your dream, represents your understanding about him or her and the feelings he/she generates in you. Something in your waking life has triggered these similar beliefs and feelings. It is not uncommon that a real-life obsession with a certain celebrity may carry over into your dream world. Celebrities are often seen as heroes and role models for certain qualities or the fame and acceptance we want to achieve ourselves. To dream about a celebrity dying signifies that your feelings about that person are changing significantly. Perhaps you no longer admire what they once represented to you. Alternatively, you may want to repress that aspect of yourself represented by that celebrity. Also see Actor/Actress.
