Women are more into joyful connection than men. This also proves the fact that women more often dreams rings, while men dreams rings very rare.

Water is symbol of primary importance, according to which it ensures the existence of life, where everything that’s alive has the connection with water. This is also a reflection of the human experience with water;

The water – main component of life. The human beings can last much longer without the food, than the water. Since the beginning of times, any kind of living beings were looking for water, because they knew that if they find the water, there will be food either. However, the water could cause lots of danger, as to cross for example the sea would take a lot of courage and bravery. Journey through the water was a dangerous and mysterious as for example sea creatures, storms and rough seas took away lives of many travelers.

Therefore, at your sleep you dream of beautiful ocean and the beach. This fact shows that some people are able to relax during the sleep and experience some kind of satisfaction;

If the water is dark – your feelings are rising and is about to explode;

The dream shows that things that supposed to be managed by you, are in the hands of the others. You lost the belief in yourself and the power to be the leader of situation.

To see a lion and a snake are fighting symbols separated essence, sensuality, artistry and virtue. According to some other old interpretations such dream connotes disaster and repulsive triumph. Such dream has unusual idea determined by whether you like the snakes or not. Also, do you have fear of the lions or not. It can mean that some person can be honest and straightforward in relation to your personage. If not, when you hate a snake and if your dream has left bad feeling then this dream should mean contra implication: a person of authority may be fishy and ticklish in regard to you.
