The dream that I can remember well

Before I came to the United States, I had seen a good dream. In this dream, I saw that I walked in a desert and I did not know the way to return my home. While I walking and crying, a beautiful lady appeared in my way. She came to me and told me to be comfortable. She told me that she will help me to go home, but first I should go with her to the shrine of Prophet Mohammed to ask him to ask my god to help me. She led me to the shrine and told me that I am now in a safe place, and the god will help me.                                   
I think there are many symbol in my dream, for example , the desert is a symbol of some difficulties in my life, and a beautiful lady is a symbol of a good new life. Also the shrine of the prophet is a symbol of faith. In other words my dream means that the hard time that I live  will finish , and my life will be changed soon with a patience and a faith  .

Folk beliefs about dreaming

Many people gave the dreams a large portion of their thinking and tried to interpret and decryption of them dream. The folk beliefs are very important to interpretation dreams in different cultures, for example, an animal has an effect in the popular beliefs in the impact of optimism and pessimism, good and evil. That is reflected on their dreams, so the expression of vision in line with the perception of that thing. Some dreams often achieved and some interpretations believe. Visual dreamer sees what he saw in his dream, good or evil. These paradoxes make the human being in a spiral of doubt and uncertainty, certification and denial of the essence of dreams and their interpretation. The following are some folk dreams interpretation in my culture:
• If the person saw in his dream that he took off one of his teeth, which means will lose one of his family member.
• If a person saw a flash in the sky in his dream, he will hear a good news.
• If a person saw that he cried a lot, he will lough a lot.
• If a dreamer saw a gold that means a lot of money. Some interpreters may be attributed to the meaning of the word, which means to go, to travel or to death, here comes the role of the interpreter of events and interpreting them, through the analysis and leave the interpretation convincing.
