Outdoors
If your dream takes place outdoors, this symbolizes freedom, tranquility, restoration, and renewal. It may also represent that you want to experience and express your feelings and instincts.
Outer Space
To dream of outer space represents your creativity. This dream may also indicate that something or someone in your life has just came out of nowhere.
Outhouse

Out-of-Body Experience

Outside
See "Outdoors", above.
Oval
To see an oval in your dream, represents your female qualities and your spiritual energy.
Oven
Dreaming of a warm oven suggests that your efforts will be successful. A red hot oven means you will be loved by friends and family for your affectionate and unselfish nature. A cold oven indicates regret over a lost friend or a missed opportunity - you need to learn from your past and move on to your future. If you dreamed of being burned in/by an oven, you will be very lucky, especially if your hands or feet were burned. To dream of being inside an oven represents the womb. You might be pregnant, or worried that you are pregnant. (Consider the saying, "a bun in the oven"). Or, you may need more "mothering" - caring and tender loving care - than you are currently getting from family and friends.
Oven Mitt
To dream of seeing or wearing oven mittes suggests that you are trying to handle a touchy situation in a careful manner. This dream may also refer to nervousness about a romantic situation.
Overalls
To dream of overalls symbolizes how you go about getting what you want. If the overalls were torn or dirty, you need to take a more logical (and less emotional) approach to your problems. If they were tight or small on you, you may feel suffocated in a relationship - speak up. If they were too big, you are lacking confidence. Perhaps you have been placed in a role you are not ready for. If you dreamed of seeing someone else wearing overalls, you are concerned about your social status, and how you present yourself to the world.
Overdose
If you dreamed of you or someone else overdosing on drugs, it is a serious warning that your behavior has become self-destructive. You need to take a more positive approach to dealing with your problems and set your eyes on your future, or you will end up sabotaging yourself and not getting what you want.
Owl
Owls symbolize wisdom and purity of spirit. The owl is also a very powerful symbol of the unconscious, so pay careful attention to any messages they bring you in your dreams. To dream of a black owl is an omen of reverses or disappointments, unless you drove it away, in which case you can expect an improvement in your circumstances. If it was in your house, the dream is a forecast of family discord.
Ox
To see an ox in your dream represents the balance of your feminine and masculine personality aspects. It may also suggest that you're being too stubborn about something.
Oxygen Mask / Oxygen Tank
To dream that you or someone else is using an oxygen mask, or oxygen tank, suggests that you are feeling suffocated or smothered by a situation in your life.
Oyster
To dream of eating oysters symbolizes the placing of sensual pleasures above wisdom. In your attraction to someone, or your desire for material goods, you may lose your senses and morality in your attempt to indulge your desires. If you saw oysters but did not eat them, you are confident without being conceited, but you may tend to be a bit distant from others. A dream of oyster shells foretells that you will be frustrated when your attempt to get something that belongs to someone else, does not work out.
