Contents of your unconscious that terrify you at first glimpse, emotions or instinctive impulses that at some time in your past gave rise to guilt feelings. The pesky things in life.

Dreaming that you are wearing velvet means distinction and honor. It also represents you sensuality and emotions.

{1} If in a dream you behave violently towards a person or animal, some deep-seated anger or resentment is indicated, particilarly if such behaviour recurs in your dreams. The cause may be frustration of a basic desire. Guilt-feelings caused by a desire that was {perhaps wrongly} felt to be illegitimate may be accompanied by anger, either directed outwards against someone {perhaps a parent} who forbade the fulfillment of the desire, or directed inwards against yourself as a form of self-punishment. Therefore, if in a dream you are the victim of violence, this may be a symbol of your tendency to punish yourself.

{2} Even where the violence is obviously directed towards someone else, it may indicate anxiety. For example, a man who dreams of cruel sex with a woman is almost certainly afraid of women and afraid of - guilty about - his own sexuality. The cause of the guilt and anxiety needs to be uncovered, even if it means seeing a psychotherapist.

{3} A violent explosion - volcano, bomb, etc. - will usually mean that some part of you is frustrated and ready to wreak havoc in your life if you continue to deny it an outlet for expression.

{4} Our violence is caused by emotions taking us over; and such emotional take-overs are the result of frustrated healthy desires.

(1) Water may symbolize emotions or psychic energy. It is therefore important to notice whether the water is free flowing or stagnant {or frozen}, clean or foul. If it represents your emotions then apply accordingly.

(2} water is a common symbol for fertility, growth, creative potential {especially is it takes the form of a reservoir or still lake}, new life, or healing.

(3) It is also a symbol for the unconscious. Deep water, oceans, seas, large lakes often symbolize the collective unconscious. Smaller bodies of water may symbolize the personal unconscious.

(4) It is a feminine symbol, representing either your own femininity {whether you are a male or female}, or your mother. It is therefore important to note your reaction to the water in your dream. Are you afraid of water in real life? This may mean you are afraid of women {if you are a man}, of your mother, or of your unconscious {hidden aspects that can be emotionally disturbing when brought to consciousness}.

(3) A galloping horse may symbolize ecstasy; or a need not to get bogged down in sensuality/ material ambitions; being in 'the world" but not of it.

(5) The horse may symbolize your unconscious or your whole psyche. In myths and folktales, horses sometimes speak. If the horse in your dream speaks, it is either the voice of your unconscious, or some part of it, or the voice of your true self, your inner being.

(6) If the horse is threatening, look into your unconscious to see what is threatening you there. Is it your sexuality, attachments to mother or father, the unconscious itself, or some other repressed desire?

(7) If a horse or horses are pulling you in a carriage, they are your emotions. Are you in control or are they?

(8) Black horses are associated with funerals. What part of you is dead or dying? Should it be allowed to die? Or what should be dead in you - for example, something from the past that prevents you from living freely in the present?

(9) A horse's hoof may symbolize fertility or sexuality. Fertility is, psychologically speaking, the power to expand as a person.
