Map
Maps represent your ability to navigate life's complexities and plan your course. Reading a map suggests seeking direction or trying to understand where you are in life. A torn or illegible map indicates confusion about direction. A treasure map represents hidden goals or the search for something valuable. Drawing a map suggests taking control of your journey and defining your own path.
Twin or Double
Seeing your double, twin, or doppelganger in a dream represents confrontation with another aspect of yourself — perhaps a side you don't normally acknowledge. This can represent inner conflict between two desires, the gap between who you are and who you present to the world, or the emergence of an undeveloped part of your personality seeking integration.
