There are currently 14 symbols in this directory beginning with the letter I.
Ice
Ice may symbolize an emotional state of the dreamer or a person in the dream. Are you receiving an icy reception? If you are in a tenuous situation, you could be skating on thin ice. In a sexual context, ice is frigidity. To dream of ice floating in a clear stream signifies an interruption of happiness, while dreaming of eating ice portends sickness.
Ice skating
Please read the interpretation of ice and take it one step further. This dream suggests that you may have a part of your emotional or psychological life in a stagnant or inaccessible form. You may be functioning in your daily life without regard to large issues that you are denying. This is a good dream symbol that encourages you to look at those parts of your life that you are most reluctant to address but are very important to your happiness.
Icicles
Icicles represent danger or your concern over a matter that is hanging over you in some way. To dream of icicles falling off of trees or the eaves of a house may suggest that some misfortune will soon disappear. To dream of icicles on evergreens symbolizes that a bright future may be overshadowed by doubt.
Ideal
A man who dreams of meeting the ideal person will soon experience much love and devotion from his chosen mate. A woman dreaming of meeting her ideal person may have a long period of business accomplishment coming up. To dream of having ideals usually mean you will be treated with the utmost honesty in any legal matter you are involved in.
Illumination
If you dream of seeing strange illuminations in the sky you will experience much distress. If you see children in the sky then you will meet with trouble and failure. An illuminated face Indicates some unfinished business that must be attended to right away or suffer the consequences. To see snakes and other creepy crawlers illuminated then you will have many powerful enemies.
Imitation
If you dream of imitations then you should watch out for those who would palm something off on you which will cause a lot of trouble and loss. If you dream that someone is imitating your lover then you must guard against being deceived by that person.
Implements
To dream of implements denote that you will be threatened by death if they are broken or, if broken, denotes that you will complete your work but by underhanded means.
Infants
Seeing infants in a dream suggests that pleasant surprises are near. Seeing an infant swimming represents a fortunate escape from some endeavor.
Infidelity
If you dream of cheating in any manner, either by you, or by your loved one, then this is a direct warning for you to be more circumspect about your actions to and with the opposite sex. It is warning you that if you do not, you will suffer the consequences. If you are the cheater in your dream, you may have a guilty conscious about cheating that has nothing to do with love.
Initiation
Initiation suggests that a new path is opening for you. It could be a career change or advancement. Often, initiatory dreams relate to a spiritual quest.
Intruder
Seeing an intruder breaking into your house or hurting you or someone else can be a very frightening dream. Depending on the level of fear this dream is, at times, a nightmare. The intruder breaking the law or breaking into your house may be representation of an unconscious part of your psyche. Carl Jung called the negative forces the shadow. The intruder may be a symbol of your guilt and self-indulgent attitudes or behaviors. On the other hand, it may represent the more negative side of your nature. If you had a fearful real-life experience with an intruder through this dream you may be reliving that experience and hopefully letting go of the fear.
Invalid
A dream of an invalid may indicate that you (or someone else) feel weak or incapable of living independently.
Iris
An iris is a spring flower that symbolizes several very positive and uplifting conditions. In Japan, it is believed that the iris has the power to purify the body and protect the household from disease and evil. Iris is also a God in Greek mythology. She is a messenger that represents the link between heaven and earth and between gods and men. This is a very interesting and specific dream symbol. In order to figure out what it means to you personally, consider your current needs. Do you have a need for purification and safety or are you looking for inspiration?
Island
An island can be viewed as an exotic place or as a separate, isolated land. Dreaming of an island might mean that a vacation is due, especially if going to the islands is a vacation destination. Alternately, finding yourself on an desert island may suggest you are cut off from others or from your inner self.
