Psychological Meanings:

Dark and Threatening thoughts Vampires should be only seemingly dead persons, who leave their grave at night and drink people’s blood.

Where the Vampire (blood-sucking bat) enters the dream events, he stands for a person who wants to suck out our blood – energy.

Because the person is still afraid of the unknown things, the archetypes, which symbolize this fear, can appear in dreams.

– Denial of sexuality , limiting the power of creativity.

Question:

– What do I feel in relation to my creativity or sexuality as being threatened?

General Meanings:

If any man is dreaming of being castrated, then such a dream brings very negative emotions. For a woman it causes as much distractions as to any of the men. Such dreams can be explained and listed as a nightmare, because the castration is not only painful, but also it is the part of you which is taken away.There are several ways the castration is done, therefore it is very important to pay attention to even small details in the dream: who attacked you and how? The feelings of the dreamer are also very significant: was he scared, confident worried or fearless?
Sometimes the dream shows the fear of the men being impotence, without ability to satisfy himself or a women. Besides that, a dream might show the fear that is related not only to sexual elements, but also to other ones (for example work). The dreamer could be afraid of showing worse than he is or/and be worse than the others.

Psychological Meanings:

Very often the dream of castration reflex the rejection of partner or general sexuality. The dream also shows repressed instinctual needs or it could show the confusion between manliness and femininity where the dreamer feels lost as for example being a man feels too soft as this tends more to women. A dream of castration may be reflecting the worst fears of a man where he loses all of his power as a man. Only because in reality he denies these fears, therefore he has these dreams.
For a woman to dream of giving a castration to some man, shows her desire to ruin that particular man. This dream shows the hate or anger the woman is suffering towards that man.

Spiritual Meanings:

Spiritually the dream of castration can be interpreted two ways:
As a good omen, the dream shows the need and desire to be sacrificed sexually, which means that all the wishes the dreamer has, that are related to sex and intimacy, wish came true. The other meaning of castration shows the fear of the man, where he loses his virility and the power as the man.

European (Judeo-Christian)

In European dream meaning the castration is explained as the fear of losing the virility you have. Consider, that the dream can also show the lack of producement and capability.

• Loss of sexual confidence if the penis or testicles were cut by yourself – the dream shows that the dreamer is no longer interested in having sexual contact with others or even not performing himself.

• Fear if you were castrated – to dream that somebody cut of your penis or testicles, signifies your fear. This apprehension could come out of your relationships to someone special and shows that you are afraid to express yourself therefore you would be abandoned. Usually when someone castrates you you are afraid of the things that do not depend on you, that’s why you feel powerless or/and impotent.
• Anger towards someone if you were castrating someone – for a dreamer to castrate someone in a dream shows the anger is suffering and wishes for a revenge. The anger that is expressed doesn’t have to be for particular person it could be only to the situation you are at the moment.

Hindu (Hinduism)

– There isn’t any explanation of dream in Hinduism.

In General the sexuality of human beings develops at very early age. When the baby starts discovering his own body, he discovers senses and pleasures that never felt before. At this stage of his life, he learns which parts of the body has to be touched if he wishes to feel the pleasure. Sometimes, when parents notice babies touching themselves they are afraid of such actions, therefore the babies are punished in many various ways. Because the child has been traumatized in his childhood, he has more dreams that are related to sexuality than any other ordinary man. These feelings are suppressed, but in dreams they occur more and often.

Psychological Meanings:

One of the instincts human beings have is the sexuality. On the psychological level, the sexuality is dreamed of usually when it is suppressed in reality. There are many different reasons, why the sexuality is suppressed, as for example the childhood, where the dreamer interpreted the sexual act as a sin.
On the positive note, the sexuality is the primal need for intimacy and the way to find the union with another person. Those who have no sexual partners in their lives have more of sexual dreams, than those who have the sexual partners in their lives, because of the mental state of their mind is occupied with the thoughts rather than feelings. The energy that is hidden deep in their mind is expressed through the dreams, therefore something must be done, as it is not healthy to suppress your needs.
The negative aspects of your dream might indicate the ego of the dreamer. There is a possibility that the dreamer is overconfident by his ability to perform not only sexually, but in many various ways either. The overconfidence brings negativity in the life, when others starts to reject him. The dreamer must adapt himself in community being confident, but not too impudent. The other dream explanations can be interpreted depending on the tendency of the dream:

Bisexuality – every human being has both female and male sides of his personality and one of it is usually more seen, depending on the gender. Bisexuality in dreams can show the actual bisexuality of the dreamer. Alternatively, the dream might indicate the conflict the dreamer has between inner and outer world.

Ejaculation – the attitude of the dreamer to his sexuality is often seen in these dreams. Ejaculation in a dream may be an attempt to understand negative feelings. It could also be an indication that the dreamer has the need for relaxation and to satisfy his sexual desires. The ejaculation may represent the abandonment of old fears and self-doubts or symbolize sexual potency.

Fetishism – could be explained as the fear the dreamer has. There is also a possibility that fetish symbolizes the lack of mature of capability to perform. It is known that Fetish is inherent from some particular objects. As the example, is the child who can not sleep without his toy. The sexual energy that is expressed by adults using the certain objects is known as Fetishism, therefore the dream shows the hidden desires or fears the dreamer has.

Sexually transmitted disease – is dreamed by those who have fears to be misunderstood or of the fact that their secrets will be sorted out. The dream could also represent the actual fear of catching the disease which is transmitted by sexual act. The fear is coming from the distrust of your partner or because of huge variety of sexual partners you have.

Cuddling/Having sex – if the dreamer was having sexual intercourse or simply cuddling with someone, then such dream indicates the communication you have or wish to have on the intimate level. The dream might also indicate the hidden desires that are unexpressed on many levels.

Hermaphrodite – in dreams symbolizes the balance between two opposites, which means that the dreamer is able to even the things in his life. Alternatively, the dream could show your actual confusion of who you are on the sexual level.

Homosexuality – is dreamed by those who support the homosexuals or are one of them. The dream of homosexuality also symbolizes the stronger aspects of femininity or manliness depending of who you are. Alternatively, the dream simply shows your liking to particular person as a friend.

Incest – in dreams represents the guilt the dreamer has to his parents, brothers, sisters or other relatives. Maybe there is something you’ve done that you felt sorry for, therefore you feel guilty about that.

Sexy clothing – represents hidden sexuality or desires and wishes. Maybe the dreamer is very shy person, but has an imagination of performing in life better than he actually does. Alternatively, the dream could show the shame about his appearance.

Masochism – the dream which includes the acts of masochism symbolizes the need for the extreme lifestyle. Alternatively, the dream may indicate your manner to be good for everyone even if you have to suffer from it. Maybe at some point you are enjoying at sacrificing.

Perversion – such dream points to the fact of the avoidance to take responsibility and/or do the things the opposite way.

Penis – is the symbol of masculinity, creativity, aggression, fertility. The penis also shows the sexual needs of the dreamer, especially if she is a woman. The dream may also show the doubts of your ability to perform sexually if the dreamer is the man. Alternatively, it could show his confidence, depending on the feelings in the reality.

Sadism – usually indicates the anger which is repressed. Mostly these feelings were caused in the childhood of the dreamer. Consider not to be so drastic to yourself and do not punish for what has happened in the past.

Sperm – the symbol of masculinity and fertility. In dreams it is not necessarily the symbol of sexuality as it might also signify the development of your resources or ideas.

Rape – if the dreamer has been raped in his dream, then it suggests to look deeper into your relationships with other people. Maybe you feel the pressure from someone and doing things you do not like. Make sure you find the solution while communicating with those people. Maybe you should end the particular relationships or simply sort out the problem that is depressing you.Dreams of rape are also very common for those who actually been raped in the reality.

In this case, a snake in the dream might be an alert to wake up and see what is going around you, that is not already discovered. Alternative interpretation of the snake dream is the contradiction. Its meaning foretells the discovery of a threat. So, in this case a snake is an indication that a raunchy person or such situation is revealed in some way. Maybe it is a situation where you can not trust a person, or a person whom you know and can not keep it under control.

Good or bad – Because of snake mysterious nature, it is seen as the carrier of deepest energetic forces of the soul, but snake also is seen often in a conflict, so snake dream has both meanings – positive and negative. Therefore snake can show splitting subconscious into one of two directions – good or bad. Two-headed snake – Especially the snake with two heads, one on each end, in the dream represents that the dreamer is being forcefully pulled in two different directions. Maybe there is too big load for you, too many things to carry. And that makes you not going anywhere. In this case your actions are having the opposite of the desired effect.

Alternative interpretation of the two-headed snake indicates any kind of relationship and teamwork. Maybe you need to be more cooperative to achieve outstanding results.

Secret – A snake, that emerges from the darkness, signifies the fear of losing something special. As example, it represents closely guarded secret, that could be snatched from the dreamer.

Temptress – A snake in men’s dreams can appear as the symbol of a seductress and then often embodies a cold, calculating woman. Thus, it also has a warning function.

Sexuality and fear of it – Psychoanalytic Sigmund Freud saw in snake dreams a typical phallic symbolism. The snake may have this meaning very well, especially in dreams of young people. It symbolizes the instinctive impulse of human nature. Since snakes relate with sexuality, then maybe you have unresolved problems in this area or the fear of sexual activity.

Maybe you are inexperienced, too much nervous or it is just too soon for you.

The golden snake symbolizes the abundance of wealth and the power of the Spirits. The white snake implies the depth of the soul. Dark, black snakes can alert the dreamer to change his life. Green snakes represent the body energy, which could still be used.

Kissing, touching or any other friendly contact with snakes in the dream, represents the possibility of betrayal and deception.

Healing, freeing and protecting – Together with other symbols this animal can be interpreted very positively and often represents some kind of healing: not for nothing a snake winds around the wand (rod) of Asclepius (Latin Aesculapius), the Greek God of medicine, healing, rejuvenation and physicians. At all times snakes’ deadly poisons was used in small quantities for the cure of certain diseases. Therefore, it is in the dream also as a symbol of change and healing. If snake sheds it’s skin in the dream, since old times such symbol is interpreted as the recuperation, recovery from an illness or a disease, or the liberation of condition, situation. The skin of a snake in the dream is as the safeguard for the dreamer and thus symbolizes protection from diseases or illnesses.
