Hammer
(See Tools)
A hammer can represent aggression and destructiveness in dream language, but it has the ability to mend and repair as well, because they can nail things back together when things have fallen apart. The type of hammer you use in your dream will help you see the force that you are using to destroy or repair. Are you using a sledge hammer to crack a nut?
Handle

Most people are frightened of death especially if they dream about it because they fear it forewarns a death but dreaming of death more often refers to the death of something rather than someone and we need a mini death to occur so that we can begin again.Other symbols in the dream might give an indication as to what the death is referring to.

Heaven
Our spiritual path is shown through the image of heaven and we ourselves create our own heaven by the vibration that we create while on the earth. We are the creator of our experience and this can be mirrored in dreams of heaven or hell.
Happiness and contentedness can be shown through images of heaven and spiritually you may be trying to understand God or at least find an answer to who is in charge. You may find while on this journey of discovery that you are the one that is in charge and accepting responsibility for your own life is often portrayed by dreams of heaven.

Heaviness in any form will simply be symbolic for the weight that you feel upon your shoulders. If someone is heavy then you find it difficult to support them, as a friend or financially.

This simply translates as your own personal hell and needing to find a way out or exit from it. Negativity overpowers but freedom comes from positivity and prayer to overcome negative forces.
Hiding
(See Games, Hide and Seek)

Home/House
Dreams of home or a house that you have lived in the past symbolise the structures that you have built around you with your family, friendships and your working life and how it all fits together to create the foundation of your present life.
House dreams typically refer to the past, present and future and help you make comparisons between the various stages or sections of your life and consider if you have grown from your experiences or not. It is very common to dream of homes from the past and this is because that stage of your life contained important experiences that can help you understand how you react and behave now.
Home is where the heart is and quite often people return to previous homes in their dreams because they feel that there is something missing from their life that they had at that time like youth or no responsibilities, sometimes it is people that were around at that time that are missing now. Going backwards is also a way for you to see the importance of moving forwards and letting go of the things that you cannot get back.
Any kind of attack on your home life can be explained using burglars or intruders in the dream scenario and they stand for people who can disrupt the normal running of your home life, they signify people who take from you, this could be your energy and time rather than physical objects.
If things are broken in your dream home it helps you see that repairs need to be made to ensure that your home life can carry on as normal, what exactly needs repairing only you can decide, it could be family relationships or situations to do with money or anything that prevents harmony and balance in your home.
If your home is different in some way in a dream, (which is a common scenario) then there is wish for change, you would like things to be different but are unsure what you need to do to instigate change. Perhaps you wish for expansion or you feel restricted in your current set up. It is easier for outsiders to see more clearly the changes you could make for improvements.
To dream of a messy house is another common scenario which many mother’s experiences from time to time, this dream also implies that there are adjustments to be made. It happens mostly when you have to tidy up other people’s mess, your family creates problems for you to deal with and this filters into your dreams as a way for you to see that it’s time for them to become self-sufficient and tidy their own affairs. A mess can stand for any situation which requires your energy to clear up.
A house that is too small implies that you have outgrown your current situation whereas a house that is too big suggests you feel lost and overwhelmed from the responsibilities of home life.
Being locked in a house is a way of explaining a lack of freedom for the dreamer; it might be the house itself that causes this lack of freedom because of the financial burdens that houses bring.
A dilapidated house implies that there is a feeling of ‘everything is falling apart at the seams’ and trying to hold things together for the sake of the home and family.
A big luxurious house can symbolise ‘the dream of attainment’ it can be used to bring the dreamers attention to the fact that anything is obtainable if you use your own best attributes in a positive, creative way. Understand that failures lead to success.

Horse
(See Animals/Journey)

Hosepipe
(See Pipes and Tube/Water)
To dream of a garden hose connects your emotions with your ideas and directs them in the area that they should be going. If you are watering a garden then you are concentrating your emotional energies into a project that needs invigorating or hydrating and this will instigate growth, without water nothing can grow, and it depends on what you are watering for a clearer translation.
To be watering ‘something’ in a dream which doesn’t necessarily grow suggests that your emotional energy is miss-guided and is being wasted on things that have no chance of development. If there is a hole or leak in the hose pipe then there is a leak in your own energy availability, perhaps it is used up elsewhere, or you are tired and worn out.
Hospital

We attend a hospital in a dream to get help with a problem that we cannot deal with alone. It is a place for healing and for searching out people who are experienced in dealing with certain issues.

Hunger
