What does it mean when you dream about a circle with a cross in it and a circle with an x in it over and over again?

Answer 1

The symbols you describe have many different meanings when seen in different contexts, different cultures and at different times. The first thing that comes to mind is the international symbol for "forbidden" or "no ... allowed," usually in the form of a red circle with a diagonal slash across it, superimposed on whatever is not allowed. Such signs are often used where no smoking is allowed, or no walking on the grass, or where dogs may not relieve themselves. Your dream could be playing with variations of this "no ... allowed" symbol, and its meaning lies in other elements in the dream.

> Another possibility is the Celtic Cross, which is a Cross and Circle combined. This Christian symbol has countless variations and is associated with the Presbyterian Church among other things. It is an ancient symbol that originally marked crossroads in Celtic lands.

> Another possibility is found among the Native Nations of North American. A circle divided by a cross into equal quarters represents the four directions. This motif usually has the quarters colored black, white, red and yellow. Yet other cross/circle combinations represent the Sun. In a different context, a similar circle with an X might simply signal a railroad crossing.

> The challenge remains with you to determine what this circle/cross means specifically to you. Could your mind be trying urgently to warn you about dangerous behavior? Could you be approaching a dangerous encounter, such as an important decision, a "crossroads" in your life, or a point where you need to stop and proceed no further in this direction? Could your mind be crying out, "Railroad Crossing, watch out for the cars!!" Or perhaps the message is, "Stop! What you are doing is wrong!"
