One example is the green light in F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby." Literally, it is a distant light across the bay that Gatsby gazes at, symbolizing his unattainable dream of reuniting with Daisy. Figuratively, the green light represents the broader theme of the American Dream and the idea of longing for something that is ultimately out of reach. This duality enriches the narrative, allowing readers to explore deeper social and personal themes.
A metaphor is an object, person, or animal that represents something beyond itself
An object, person, or animal that represents something else is known as a symbol. Symbols convey deeper meanings and ideas beyond their literal sense, often used in literature, art, and culture to express concepts such as emotions, beliefs, or themes. For example, a dove often represents peace, while a rose can symbolize love. These representations allow for richer communication and interpretation in various contexts.
The animal in your dream represents something in your real life that has the qualities and characteristics of this animal. For example, if the dream is a frightening nightmare in which you are trying to escape this animal, then it represents a problem that you are trying to escape or avoid instead of resolving. On the other hand, if the dream is calm and the animal is cute and friendly, that represents something or someone cute and friendly that accompanies your (or whom you would LIKE to accompany you) in real life.
