There are many such lists, but we don’t trust them. This is not to say that dreams don’t have symbolic meaning; rather, everyone has their own set of symbols. We cannot endorse any claims by those who think they can analyze a single dream (or dreamer) on the basis of the objects contained therein. For an excellent article that traces the origins of dubious American “dream code” books back to the second century A.D. in Italy and Greece, see the following reference: Weiss, H. B. (1944). Oneirocritica Americana. Bulletin of the New York Public Library, 48, 519-541. Reprinted in M. F. DeMartino (Ed.). (1959). Dreams and Personality Dynamics (pp. 29-44). Springfield, IL: Charles C. Thomas.
