Unknown dream meaning is explained below using 10 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Pamela Ball

1- The unknown in dreams is that which has been hidden from us, or that which we have deliberately made secret. This may be the ‘occult’ that is, knowledge which is only available to initiates. It may also be information that we do not normally need, except in times of stress.

2- When we are conscious of the unknown in dreams, we should try to decide whether it is threatening or whether it is something we need to know and understand.

It is the way we handle the information rather than the information itself which is important.

3- The hidden or the Occult remains both unknown and unknowable unless we have the courage to face it. This we can often do in dreams.
