I mainly included the Megaledeon Shark to show you how to extract symbolisms from an object. I encountered it in a dream after I had been facing a lot of fear in my life. Basically, my mind had been engaged with a lot of fearful thoughts about my future. When I got things under control and started to see things more clearly, I asked my spirit guides “What happened?!” I was then shown the Megalodon shark or they actually gave me the word “Megalodon Shark” as a symbolic answer.

A palm tree can also symbolize vacation. Maybe it is time for a break or vacation to revitalize your energy.

1) The person can be shown in your dream because you are involved in a situation on which the dream tries to provide perspective.

As a man, I was even told in a dream “You are pregnant” which underlines the above.

Trains in dreams
Trains in dreams can symbolize a journey. It can be a mental, spiritual journey or in some cases a physical journey. But in most cases, it is a representation of an internal journey taking place or about to take place.
Water in dreams
Water in dreams very often symbolizes feelings. Pay attention to the condition of the water. Is it clear, muddy, stirred up, or calm? What is seen in the water or other context can also give you hints to interpret your dream.
When something is hidden under the water it can also represent that it is subconscious. “Hidden in the depth of the water”. In this case, your dream might ask you to take a look at what you are not dealing with at a subconscious level. What we suppress or not deal with still hurts us and is holding us back. Be brave and have the courage to have a look at it with an open mind. It might be painful initially but can have a big positive impact on your life if you deal with it.
Worms
Worms can appear in dreams in many contexts and it can look gross or upsetting when having a dream like this. The interpretation of worms is however more positive. In nature worms often help to decompose waste or dead things. A dream with worms can hence symbolize that something in your life is undergoing transformation. Maybe you are undergoing processes at the moment and letting go of things that no longer serve you.
Zombies in dreams
Seeing Zombies or fighting zombies in dreams can reflect that you are struggling with emotions or issues at a subconscious level. Maybe you’ve been avoiding or suppressing them, but they are now demanding your attention and this is reflected as zombies.
