Yeah, it's also important to know which symbols are personal and which have a more collective meaning. If you're a writer, for instance, then a pen would probably have a very personal meaning, but if you dream that something happens to your hand while you're writing, then you may have to go to the dream dictionary to learn that the hand is a collective or somewhat-universal symbol for the ability to do, create, articulate, etc.
