Dream Sight: A Dictionary and Guide for Interpreting Any Dream
by Dr. Michael LennoxDreaming Lens: Were you in a fog in your dream? How much did it impact your visibility? Was it dangerous or was it pleasant? Did you feel safely hidden? What was the source of the fog? Did it lift?
Personal Focus: One of the interesting things about fog is that it mixes the symbolic meaning of two different elements: air and water. It occurs as a phenomenon in the air, yet it only exists when there is an abundance of moisture in the atmosphere, therefore, connecting it to the emotions. By combining the two elemental aspects of air and water, fog is symbolic of what can happen when unconscious thoughts and hidden emotions combine.
Fog can completely block your vision and impair your ability to navigate safely. It is often prominent near the ocean as a function of high moisture levels and rapid shifts in temperature. Since the symbolic meaning of the ocean connects to deep, unconscious levels of emotion, the presence of fog in a dream should be interpreted through this perspective.
Fog presents a potential danger to those who are traveling through it, whether over water or on land. It may be seen as the blindness that can result when our thoughts and feelings interact with each other in a confusing way. It also indicates a need to slow down and be more careful as you move about your environment.
There is a sensual nature to fog and its presence adds an element that is both mysterious and magical to any landscape. It limits what can be seen, which brings illusion into the interpretive mix. If fog is present in your dream, ask yourself if there is any area in your life that you may not be seeing accurately. Sometimes, the lies we tell ourselves are more acceptable than the truth that lies below. Fog eventually lifts and it is wise to be prepared for how things will look in the harsh light of reality.

The Bedside Dream Dictionary
by Silvana AmarThe setting of the dream may also give you clues about the area of life that it is referring to. Is the fog over water or land, are you in familiar or unfamiliar surroundings? Does the dream represent the journey into the unconscious, where things are obscure and mysterious, or does it symbolize a part of daily life that is unclear, ambivalent and challenging. Either way, if the fog lifts before the dream ends, it suggests that awareness and clarity are forthcoming. However, if the fog in the dream was oppressive and frightening, take some time to reflect on what causes such feelings in daily life. Being in fog; a struggle is ahead of you. Coming through the fog; after a struggle you will succeed in your plans.
