the ancient egyptians used dream analysis as a way of interpreting messages from the gods, or in finding a way towards a medical therapy or cure. freud and jung theorized that dreams have meanings, and that some dreams are symbolic of figurative thinking found in waking thoughts.

i have had 2 vivid dreams recently of there being grains of sand in my mouth and i'm trying to wash them out, but even with rinsing my mouth out with water, i continue to have that distinct taste and sense of grittiness that i can't seem to get rid of..

i looked up what the various symbols meant and they are as follows:

sand - the passage of time; something temporary or unreliable / lack of security; friction; wanting to smooth things over or avoid the rough edges; failing to acknowledge an issue; letting something or someone slip through your fingers

mouth - self-expression; communication; taking in something new / pleasure; sexuality; sensuality; receptivity / fear of being swallowed up; engaging in gossip; divulging a secret; something that is difficult to accept

washing - trying to clear up something; ridding yourself of negative feelings or thoughts; something that will become clear later on; something that is not logical or believable; being awash in emotions

so does this mean that i am trying to rid myself of negative thoughts, a lack of security, an issue - that at present i am unable to communicate or express?

or maybe as even freud said, "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar".
