## Pantheons

## Dream dictionary
- [Dreaming of water](https://mythic-dream.com/dreams/water): Water in dreams mirrors your feelings — calm shallows or a rising tide. What it does is what your emotions are doing.
- [Dreaming of falling](https://mythic-dream.com/dreams/falling): Falling dreams often come at the edge of sleep, and speak to control — something you feel slipping, or a need to let go.
- [Dreaming of teeth falling out](https://mythic-dream.com/dreams/teeth-falling-out): A teeth-loss dream can gather worries about exposure, change, or speech — and sometimes the body's own sensations during sleep.
- [Dreaming of flying](https://mythic-dream.com/dreams/flying): Flying can feel like freedom, effort, escape, or a startling change of scale; how you get aloft matters more than flight alone.
- [Dreaming of being chased](https://mythic-dream.com/dreams/being-chased): A chase dream turns danger or pressure into motion, but the pursuer may represent an inner conflict, an outer demand, or a boundary worth defending.
- [Dreaming of snakes](https://mythic-dream.com/dreams/snakes): Snakes are among the richest dream symbols — danger and healing, endings and renewal, the shedding of an old skin.
- [Dreaming of death](https://mythic-dream.com/dreams/death): Dreams of death rarely foretell it — they mark endings and change: a chapter closing so another can open.
- [Dreaming of fire](https://mythic-dream.com/dreams/fire): Fire in dreams is passion and destruction both — what warms you and what consumes you. Its size tells you which.
- [Dreaming of the moon](https://mythic-dream.com/dreams/the-moon): A dream moon can make cycles, distance, borrowed light, or the night itself feel newly visible; its phase and atmosphere shape the reading.
- [Dreaming of the ocean](https://mythic-dream.com/dreams/the-ocean): An ocean dream places you beside depth, distance, and forces larger than one person; shore, weather, and your position change its meaning.
- [Dreaming of a wolf](https://mythic-dream.com/dreams/a-wolf): The wolf is instinct and the wild self — a threat, a guide, or a hunger you've kept on a leash.
- [Dreaming of drowning](https://mythic-dream.com/dreams/drowning): Drowning dreams speak of being overwhelmed — by feeling, obligation, or a situation that's risen over your head.
- [Dreaming of a mirror](https://mythic-dream.com/dreams/a-mirror): A dream mirror can test recognition, appearance, identity, and perspective; what it shows — and who controls the looking — matters.
- [Dreaming of being lost](https://mythic-dream.com/dreams/being-lost): Being lost can give uncertainty a landscape, but the missing route may concern direction, recognition, belonging, or trust in a guide.
- [Dreaming of blood](https://mythic-dream.com/dreams/blood): Blood is life-force, kinship, and sacrifice — vitality spent, a wound felt, or a bond that runs deeper than words.
- [Dreaming of a door](https://mythic-dream.com/dreams/a-door): A door is choice and threshold — an opportunity ahead, a passage between one life and the next, open or closed.
- [Dreaming of a storm](https://mythic-dream.com/dreams/a-storm): A dream storm can give conflict, uncertainty, awe, or release a weather system; shelter and aftermath matter as much as thunder.
- [Dreaming of someone who has died](https://mythic-dream.com/dreams/the-dead-returning): Dreams of someone who has died may hold comfort, longing, conflict, memory, or continuing connection, and their meaning varies across people and cultures.
- [Dreaming of a house](https://mythic-dream.com/dreams/a-house): A house in a dream is usually you — its rooms your inner life, its condition how you're tending yourself.
- [Dreaming of a key](https://mythic-dream.com/dreams/a-key): A key dream can focus access, permission, responsibility, secrecy, or fit into one object; finding the lock is only part of the story.
- [Dreaming of a bridge](https://mythic-dream.com/dreams/a-bridge): A bridge dream can bring access, separation, trust, and risk into one crossing; the two banks and the condition of the span matter.
- [Dreaming of rain](https://mythic-dream.com/dreams/rain): A rain dream can feel nourishing, inconvenient, exposing, or overwhelming; intensity, shelter, and what the water changes provide the context.
- [Dreaming of snow](https://mythic-dream.com/dreams/snow): A snow dream can alter sound, visibility, movement, and familiarity; its temperature, depth, condition, and your preparedness shape the meaning.
- [Dreaming of darkness](https://mythic-dream.com/dreams/darkness): Dreaming of darkness centers what cannot yet be seen: it may offer rest or privacy, create uncertainty, or turn navigation and trust into the task.

- [Dreaming of a monkey](https://mythic-dream.com/dreams/a-monkey): A monkey dream may focus social play, imitation, dexterity, theft, captivity, or conflict; species, group behavior, and setting all matter.

- [Dreaming of a thread](https://mythic-dream.com/dreams/a-thread): A thread can join, mend, measure, record, or lead a way back — a small line whose purpose depends on what it connects.
- [Dreaming of an arrow](https://mythic-dream.com/dreams/an-arrow): An arrow concentrates force into a direction, linking an archer, a moment of release, a path, and a target.
