Nail
(See Metal)
A nail can be used in different ways in dream language, the symbolism can be both negative and positive. A nail can keep something together securely or bring something to a close, as in the final nail in a coffin, so consider what the nail was being used for in your dream.
Fingernails express the feminine power of the dreamer and the way this can be used towards getting what you want; long nails represent the power of the feminine charm.
Digging your nails into something means that you are trying to cling-on to something or exert your power over people and events. Painting your nails symbolises using the feminine charms to catch attention and broken nails highlight the feeling of lost feminine attraction or power.
Naked
(Common Dreams: Nakedness)
This is a common dream that represents how you feel venerable and open to be hurt, what is making you feel this way could be your own thoughts rather than how other people perceive you, so think about where your insecurities stem from. This dream also happens when you have put yourself in a vulnerable position or you have opened up your heart and declared your inner feelings to someone else. Your vulnerability arises because you are unsure if those feelings are going to be returned.
Being part naked is a way for you to understand that you have confidence in some areas but lack the same confidence in other areas of your life. You may be good at your role at work for example but not quite so sure of yourself where personal relationships are concerned. Being comfortable with your nakedness in a dream shows how you are comfortable and secure in your own skin and worry not for other people’s opinions.

Night and Day
Day/Darkness/Dawn/Dusk/Light/Night
If it is night time in your dream then the symbolism is roughly the same as if it is dark, darkness represents the absence of light in your life and this is just a phase and often gives way to daytime when the presence of light returns.
Darkness often represents depression or being in a dark place, feeling down or unhappy or negative. Light however represents the feeling of lightness, happiness and positivity.
Dark and light together will symbolise two opposites that sit together perfectly to bring balance in all things.
· One phase of life moves into another.

Numbers
If you remember the numbers when you wake up write them down and see if you can make sense from them later. Generally, numbers help explain that you need to add things up in your own mind or do the sums to get to the bottom of a riddle.
The numbers you notice in a dream may have a personal meaning to you like an anniversary or an important date that you should remember. Numerology gives a good translation of numbers and the meanings associated with them. It is an individual process because each person will translate these types of dreams the way they feel is best, and this is as it should be.
If you dream of a sequence of numbers, it could mean that you are unlocking important information (codes) etc. This could link with becoming spiritually aware.
If your number is up, then you are getting found out, or caught doing something dodgy, this might be used to explain your own or someone else’s situation.
Nurse
(See Doctor/Hospital/Matron/People)
A nurse represents someone who takes care of you in a time of need. They might be a spiritual nurse though. Healing is needed.
Nuts
(See Food)
Nuts symbolise the act of storing away the things that you might need for later, saving money perhaps, or increasing your skills and talents to enhance your financial standing.
Dreaming of nuts in some circumstances could also be symbolic for someone who is nuts. (Crazy)
Spiritually speaking nuts are way of showing you that the qualities you have should be shared to bring spiritual nourishment for others.
If you dream of nuts in their shell, then the symbolism might be about your own protective shell and it being a barrier to sharing your caring side with other people.
If you dream of nuts in a bowl it is similar in meaning to seeing a mixture of sweets, the diverse types of nuts or sweets noticed should remind you of the various kinds of happiness and fulfilment that is available to you.
