Rewind – Rewinding something in a dream is symbolic of a desire to go back in the past and change something that already happened. This happens as the result of our subconscious mind working through events of the past and trying to determine what would have happened if we had acted differently. Of course, it is impossible to know what would really have happened, as this is a reality completely inaccessible to us. However, part of learning from our mistakes and past experiences is understanding what the outcome would likely have been if we had acted differently. Thus we may dream of rewinding events that turned out unsatisfactorily or which we regret, and we cannot actually rewind them, but we can learn from the events to avoid making a similar mistake again in the future.
