| Dream Interpretations In our waking life, we go to places for a reason. We go to the cinema to watch a film (and possibly to hold hands with our date), we go to the park to take the day off and play a ballgame with friends (or ogle good-looking people), we go to the beach to dig our toes in the sand and take a dip in the waters (or again, ogle good-looking people). There is always a reason, one way or another.
In these days of busy lifestyle, few of us waste time going to places where we have no business. Which is why we should be thankful that when we dream, we have the luxury of going to places we have never been before.
And, just as in our waking life, it follows then that the places we go to in our dreams have an underlying meaning as well.
 Desert
Ordinarily, deserts are barren and lonely places. In a dream, they imply a state of being lost and wanting to arrive home or be found. But the great spaciousness and emptiness of the desert landscape can also be beneficial; it signals a silence and meditation your life may be needing.
Airplane
Airplanes symbolize flight, freedom, and escape from the mundane. So if you dream of being in an airplane, whether or not you have a fear of heights, it just means you need to face those fears of the unknown and be thankful for their possibilities. If you dream of being the pilot, then this is a good sign: it is an undertaking and journey which you have taken complete control of.
Backyard
Backyards are fenced-in spaces outside our houses which we don't want neighbors to see, or intruders to trespass. Thus, to dream of sweeping in a backyard, for instance, means you want to cleanse that part of you which you fear is laid bare to the public.
Bridge
Crossing a bridge means an inevitable transition in your life, a shift in lifestyle, belief, location, relationship, etc. Observe the sturdiness of the bridge, or if it shakes under your weight. Also, look at the water below if it's calm or treacherous, or if it is an abyss instead. All these are signs of your readiness to cross over.
Church
Church are obviously holy places, which in a dream means you are reevaluating your life and want to lead a more spiritual one. Dreams of being inside a church always is a sign of good luck. An alternative interpretation is that you are questioning authority in your life, as churches and religion in general operate on authority.
Kitchen
Kitchens in dreams evoke either hunger, not just for physical nourishment, but spiritual as well. If you dream of yourself cooking in a kitchen, filling the room with a warm, inviting aroma, it just means you are taking an active role in your life.
Hell
We all have our personal versions of hell, and it does not necessarily have to be the commonly-thought of underground place with burning sulfur and demons with spears. If you dream of being in a hellish place, you could be feeling guilt from a sin you may have committed, or else, it is a premature punishment you are imposing on yourself, even if you haven't really done anything wrong in the first place. Hell is a place of self-censorship, so take it easy on yourself.
Hospital
It depends whether you are the one confined in a hospital, or you are only visiting a sick friend. Hospitals in dreams are signs that make us aware of our mortality, and of course, our health. Also, a sense of authority and properness operates inside a hospital (uniforms, schedules, SOP's, dosages, doctor's orders, etc), and your little visit there in your dream implies a confrontation with authority you might be avoiding or looking forward to.
Field
Is it a barren field, or a lush green one? To dream of spacious fields imply a whole world of possibilities and potential for you, as if the ground is all prepared for new plantings. Then again, the saying “the grass is always greener on the other side” can also come into play here. Having those dreams again where you suddenly find yourself in the most unlikely places and weird locales? They say we are what we dream. And the venues of our dreams certainly say a lot about our hopes and fears in life. Read on to find out.
School:
Dreams that happen in schools mean a return to childhood, back when we were just starting out in the arena of life. Schools are also one of the first venues where authority and discipline was exercised upon us, and where we meet other kids, so to dream of being in school may mean you are trying to face some unresolved issues about your adequacy, popularity, performance, and achievements. Dreaming of taking an exam in a school means we are facing challenges which we are afraid of being evaluated and judged.
Outer Space
Outer space dreams go hand in hand with the gift of flight. Thus, you are being adventurous and creative, to the point of being escapist. Being in outer space has a liberating feeling as well--weightlessness--add to this the fact that you are on top of things.
Game Show
Being a game show contestant in your dream signifies your concern about luck, and your performance in the public eye. It could also represent your wishful thinking for fame, even if it's just a short-lived one.
Boxing Ring
Dreams of being in a boxing ring means your concern about performance, especially with regards to competition. Who is your opponent, and who between you is getting the most punches? You are in the spotlight, the center of attention when you are in the ring, and thus this dream means your need to prove yourself worthy.
Train
Trains are obedient vehicles; they religiously follow tracks and they stick to schedules of departures and arrivals. Trains, of course, mean journey. So dreams of being on the train represent a journey and transition in your life, unfolding according to schedules and neatly going along the tracks. Missing the train then, or being in a train wreck mean plans which you have let go out of hand.
Supermarket
Groceries offer an endless and tempting variety of things. To dream of being in a market means you are faced with tough choices, all of which look perfect and inviting. You are shopping not just for material things, but for things that relate to your emotional or social needs. You might be concerned of making the wrong choice in spending your money/attention/energy.
Road
Roads lead to places and possibilities. The kind of road you are treading in your dream and the sceneries on either side reveal your current attitudes and motivations towards your goals. Winding, dark, and endless roads mean unsurety and many hindrances, while smooth, well-paved ones mean stability.
Maze
More than just a physical manifestation, dreams of maze reveal our state of mind. Since mazes are convoluted passages that lead to dead-ends, or if not, back to where you started, then your dream of mazes signify a state of confusion which you need to get out of. Try getting a wider, aerial view of things, and you'll see just where you want/need to be.
Parachute
Parachutes can either mean safety from sure harm or a welcome withdrawal/escape from constricting situations in your life. If you are enjoying the view below while you are in your parachute, then it means you are on top of things, and you have taken a wider perspective of things. If on the other hand, you can't get your parachute open, then it means you are feeling betrayed by a friend or someone you have put your faith on.
Drugstore
Drugstores and pharmacies offer healing , relief, and solutions. To dream of standing in a pharmacy counter suggests that you may be shopping for more than just a remedy for an ailment, but for a fail-safe resolution in your life's problems.
