THE DREAM The following are short summaries of dream which all contain time travel. I have tried best to isolate the symbolic meaning of time travel in each dream.

A time travel dream linked to the dreamer meeting someone he hadn't seen for years. His friend had so many misconceptions about him - thinking he was just like he was all those years before.

A time travel dream linked to the dreamer going back to college. He was living the life of a teenager again mixing with much younger people.

A dream where the dreamer uses a time machine to return to the time when he killed his girlfriend linked to him getting back together with his ex. When they split they were hating each other (symbolised by the killing). Using a time machine symbolised his wish to return to a time when he had not been bitter and angry with her.

One time travel dream (Dr Who) was linked to the dreamer talking to her counsellor. After some tough times she was starting to think she could put her life back on track. The time travel represented the belief that her future could be different rather than be set in a spiral of problems and low confidence.

One dream simply featured a time travel machine and the dreamer had some choice about using it or not. This dream took place at a time when the dreamers life was in a period of real change. He had cut himself off from several people giving them excuses that he was ill. The time travel machine symbolised his thoughts about what he had done - had he made a mistake cutting himself off and did he wish to go back in time and change things. Also his life was in a period of real change - his future was being decided right now - he could get back in touch with people he had cut off because it was not too late.
