Interpretation: The desert in dreams represents the unconscious mind. To dream of wandering through a gloomy and barren desert, suggests that losses and sad emotional times are ahead for the dreamer. If a young woman dreams of being alone in the desert, her health and reputation is being endangered by her indiscreet behavior in real life and she should be more careful. If you dream of finding an oasis in the desert, you are feeling smothered or not getting the kind of attention you want in a real life relationship.

Interpretation: At times a desert in a dream symbolizes the unconscious and represents the dreamer's sense of separation from it. Deserts are generally barren with little vegetation or animal life. The desert in your dreams could be bringing up issues of stagnation and periods of little growth in your life. Also, the desert could represent your loneliness and feelings of isolation. However, if you live close to the desert or love the desert, this may be a positive symbol. For some the desert may be a place where they can commune with nature and feel a sense of peace.
