Love

• To dream of loving any object, denotes satisfaction with your present environments.
• To dream that the love of others fills you with happy forebodings, successful affairs will give you contentment and freedom from the anxious cares of life. If you find that your love fails, or is not reciprocated, you will become despondent over some conflicting question arising in your mind as to whether it is best to change your mode of living or to marry and trust fortune for the future advancement of your state.
• For a husband or wife to dream that their companion is loving, foretells great happiness around the hearthstone, and bright children will contribute to the sunshine of the home.
• To dream of the love of parents, foretells uprightness in character and a continual progress toward fortune and elevation.
• The love of animals, indicates contentment with what you possess, though you may not think so. For a time, fortune will crown you.

Dream Interpretation Fainting

Fainting is a sign of helpless feelings towards someone or your freedom from some responsibilities. Dreaming of fainting also could reflect some failures and small losses. If you dream of someone fainting, you will be asked for help or even money. If you frequently dream of fainting, it could be a sign of a poor blood circulation in your brain during the night.

Buttons

Most often the button in your dream is a button on a piece of clothing, rather than a button that you push. Button or buttons on clothing represent something from your physical, or outer, self . Note if you were buttoning or unbuttoning, and, from there, attempt to obtain meaning. Unbuttoning generally represents an opening up of your emotions or ideas. You may be leaving yourself open to new possibilities as you are letting go of old thoughts and ways of doing things. Alternatively and on a positive side, buttoning up may reflect a need to conserve and to pull inward, to "button" your lip or to restrain yourself in some way. The more negative interpretation of buttoning up may be that you are currently feeling bound, restricted, or lacking some type of freedom.
