manslaughter

masturbation

to dream of manual stimulation in order to bring about sexual pleasure suggests broken promises that created some sort of repercussions. If you made a promise to someone else you may not even be aware you have broken it - it could have been a small promise or made a long time ago - but for the person you made it to it was a big deal. Be especially careful if there is a child involved. At times, this dream is simply an extension of sexual desire experienced in your waking life, particularly recently

maze

please see labyrinth

meditation

to dream of spiritual focus is indicative of misplaced loyalties. Somewhere along the way you have placed your trust with the wrong people and whilst this is not likely to harm you in the short term, your dream suggests that you should be careful from now on as problems will arise if you continue to be trusting in this way

menstruation

to dream of your monthly cycle, whether your first, last, or anything in the middle is about your anxieties as the female of the species. It includes concerns about your image, your health, your capabilities in your job, as well as in your role as a mother, daughter, sister, lover, friend. This dream is very personal and it can only be interpreted your way. Look at what else is happening in your dream - the closer your contact with the blood, for example, (through your five senses) the more intense your anxieties will be. In general, dreams about the menopause may signify milder anxieties due to the reduction in blood. Consider also what is going on in your life and try to work out whether your anxieties are justified. Are you worried about your teenager's decision not to take up higher education, or your parents' decision to move to the coast? Or perhaps you are concerned with your own image, such as, how you look right now or about getting older. Whatever your anxieties you need to acknowledge them and deal with them, instead of allowing them to occupy your thoughts for what your dream suggests could be too long or too much, distracting you from the things you should be doing. The underlying message here is that the longer you allow your anxieties to go on, the more likely it is for something else to slip past you unnoticed.  It is also worth noting that dreams about menstruation can also occur because you are simply due to have your period. Also see blood and personal dreams

menopause

mercury

to see this silvery-white metal in your dreams suggests that you have a shrewd business mind. You are someone who can talk their way out of trouble, pull the wool over other people’s eyes, and move fast, yet with grace. Watch your back, however, as you seem to be making enemies   

mercy

to dream of compassion and forgiveness is an indication that something in which you have invested considerable time and skill will pay off

mermaid

this mythical creature in your dream is about confusion and uncertainty, if you know she's there but can't see her. To see or touch her, however, it signifies your rebellious ways. Your dream suggests that you have fitted into some kind of lifestyle that you are largely content with, but nevertheless doesn’t fully represent who you are. Consider whether you listen to the music you like, drive the car you want, travel to countries you really want to see. Work out if there is anything at all you long to do, then go get it but without upsetting someone close to you in the process. Discuss it with them first and come to an agreement if necessary

mesmerise

if you dream of capturing the complete attention of someone it implies that you should learn to speak plainly, without avoiding unpleasant or embarrassing issues, as it's currently the case with you

mess

message

If you dream that a message with specific instructions did not get delivered, it is likely that the discrepancy will concern manipulated records or data that you, or someone close to you, will have prepared

meteor

please see space debris

microscope

dreams about this instrument are representative of your mindless preoccupation with things that don't matter or goals that will not make a difference to anything or anyone upon achieving them. Such dreams are indicative of some form of escapism, and of unhappiness with oneself. You need to consider both the long-term and short-term future and see where your current ideas and actions fit in 

microphone

to dream of this instrument used to amplify sound, simply represents your happiness and contentment at this point in your life. Enjoy it, share it - chances are you have earned it

microwave

please see oven

midwife

to dream of a person who delivers babies suggests that you need to watch what you say, as there are people around you who have a particular interest in hearing anything that comes out of your mouth. Whether you are a witness in a trial, a celebrity, a politician, a lawyer, take care even when you think nobody is listening. This is likely to be connected to a current issue, so try to be as discreet as you can until it is all resolved

migraine

milk

to see this white liquid in your dream, whatever its source, suggests prosperity and abundance. Good times are ahead

miscarriage

to dream of the end of a pregnancy is a warning for you to reconsider your plans or even decisions to start a new venture or anything else that is significant. It indicates that there may be pitfalls you have not yet considered or that you have underestimated. It is not suggesting you should abandon these plans altogether, but to re-examine them. If you are pregnant you should not worry about this dream as it can be common at different stages of your pregnancy. Also see pregnant, birth, embryo and surrogate

mistake

It suggests that you are treating as a game something which is important to other people, and this will ultimately have an adverse impact on your life unless you start to take things seriously

mistletoe

this plant in your dream can be indicative of two very different things: either that you will experience a fungal infection, or that you will start a project well that will later decline. Search for clues within your dream to help determine which one it might be

mole

to dream of this small mammal suggests that you have to deal with a stubborn individual in your daily life, but implies that if you press hard enough you will break through their defences 

monastery

please see place of worship

money   

money in your dream, in terms of cash, whatever the currency, indicates that you will be rewarded for something in which you invested very little effort   

monk

to see a monk or a nun is only significant is they are outside of their expected dwelling, for example, monastery. Seen among the rest of the population, whether in their distinctive clothing or in regular attire, suggests that you have been searching for something for a very long time and you are now approaching a point where you feel tired, discouraged, and ready to accept that you may never find what you are looking for. If you see yourself speaking to the nun or the monk it is an indication that there may be an avenue you have not yet explored which may yield the desired results 

monster

to see a mythical, scary creature in your dream suggests that you are allowing other people to rule your life, and they are doing it in a way you wouldn't even notice. Open your eyes and ears and take notice of what is going on around you

monkey

please see gorilla

moon

if the earth’s satellite features in your dream it implies that despite clear signs that a situation is working against you, you insist on ignoring them. This is likely to have consequences, so face up to the issue and deal with it sooner rather than later. Consider the proportion of the moon in your dream for clues as to the nature or size of the consequences you might expect

morgue 

to see a place where dead people are kept suggests that you will receive an unwanted gift. This is likely to come from a person you dislike, but the implication here is that there is some meaning in their choice of gift, so consider this before you dispose of it. It may help give you ammunition or further ideas how to deal with this person

mosque

please see place of worship

mother

the presence of your parent in your dream, or the parent of a person close to you, suggests that you are currently not realising your full potential due to holding onto something, eg a person, the past. Break away or you could risk jeopardising a promising future. Also see family

mountain 

to dream of this natural elevation implies that you are faced with a certain situation whereby to reach a win-win result you have to accept the fact that you will need to compromise. Failure to do this may result in losses on your part. If you or someone else is standing too close to the edge of the mountain it suggests that you will soon reach a critical decision regarding an issue that has been causing turmoil in your family. To dream that you or someone else falls off the mountain denotes acceptance for something you have no control over

mouse

this small rodent in your dream, suggests that you are in a rather strange situation whereby you both exploit, and protect, a certain individual. It is possible that this person is beginning to work this out so you need to re-examine the facts. If you should dream that you are surrounded by so many mice to the point where you feel real fear, then be extra careful as you could fall victim of considerable theft

mud

to dream of this soft, smooth substance suggests that you are unpopular, and on the whole, considered a foolish person. This is a result of something you did, and it is up to you to reverse this view by displaying positive behaviour

mug

this type of large, drinking vessel implies that someone close to you is leading you astray and you are going along with it quite happily. This is far from a favourable position to be in, so stop and take a good hard look at this person and your relationship with them

murder

please see kill

museum

dreams about this type of building only hold any real significance if you see yourself inside, as opposed to passing one on your way somewhere or standing outside. It suggests that you are, or have been, dealing with something which you are finding very frustrating, but the only way to resolve it and move forward is by looking at lessons learnt previously, even if just weeks earlier, by either yourself or people close to you, and applying them to this situation. It is possible that you are not even aware that others can help, so share your problem and chances are that you will stumble across something valuable. Also see building

music

to dream of sounds made vocally or through various instruments suggests that sensitivities are getting in the way of your private life. If you want to see this area of your life grow you will need to toughen up. It is not clear what these sensitivities may entail, so consider the instruments you see in your dream, the sounds made etc to help you link them to your waking life 

muscle

this fibrous part of the human or animal body in your dreams is indicative of your excellent thinking skills. You are generally quick and agile but chances are that unless you slow down in certain situations, you will miss something vital somewhere and this will have important implications
