Here is a good example of a dream with a double meaning.

In the dream, I looked at my foot.  Due to health reasons in the past year, my toenail had almost completely disappeared on my big toe.  I was pleased to see that it appeared to have grown completely back and seemed relatively normal again. 

Significant symbols:

Right-may indicate a proper choice, good judgment, or a correct direction

Foot-direction/journey/personal stance

Toe-one’s principals/stance

Toenail-protective covering

This dream has a double meaning, which is actually quite common for dreams.  With any dream, I should translate the symbology first before assuming the dream might mean anything else. The foot represents my personal stance.  The toe again represents my personal stance, perhaps indicating a situation in which my beliefs/values are brought into question in a specific incident.  The toenail represents the protective covering which helps keep my beliefs/values unharmed.  The fact that it is my right foot can indicate that I have made a proper choice or gone in the right direction with a decision that involves my personal stance in a specific incident.  I am shown that my beliefs/values remain unharmed. This would clearly be indicative of the incident I had at work which I spoke of previously in the “Toenail is loose” dream.  I have come out of the incident with my beliefs/values in place and unharmed.

But the dream also has a second meaning for me.  Due to health issues over the past few years, my toenail on the right big toe had suffered and stopped growing.  It had almost disappeared.  But with a severe change in diet, the toenail has almost completely grown back.  The image in the dream clearly tells me that it will look normal again very soon.  It is close, but not quite there.

It is not uncommon to have dreams that specifically address issues of physical health.  I don’t have them that often, but when I do, I try to pay attention and do as I am told.  This has resulted in very good health.
